BrapCvhd^ WELCHS PnSBetlb ^M^APE JUICE Wcloh'f Cuart buieau t>aid that it was probable that the world supply and demand for whtat in 1929-30 will be somewhat mc-e favorable for marketing the wheat crop of the United States than they were last season. Wiith lower feeding requirements and probably a lower European de mand corn prices may be lower than they were in 1927 and^ 1928, t)ie bu reau continued. Th* ttujlook for the cattle industry “conti.iues favorable,” with prices about at the peak cf the cycle, the re port de- lared, and the presfent does not appear W be a favorable time for new prtxiucers; to enter this industry. Al hiugh inci*eaised number of sheep in Liis country have not a;i yet af fected the markets, the bureau said cautuicr should enter into production plans an present lamb prices cannot be maintained if expansion is contin ued tdo rapidly. The lamb crop this y.ar, however, it added, may show some increase above last year. Active business conditions in the opinion of the bureau will continue to help sup port tlie lamb and wool market well thio.igb 1929 with possibh slackening in late 1920 or in 1930. . Since a provision of the recently enac.;ed appropriation act for the ag riculture department “prohibited the making of any statement regarding cf same\’ ihe bureiu said it had pre pared no report on ths outlook for cot ton. The 1329 outlook for cijru.s fruits iudir^tos a con.siJerable imrease in the bearing acreage of grapefruit and oranges. Commercial production of ap ples will eonlinue at a high level with- a cen-sequent low price scale. Prospective ccmmercial require ments of fax and broom com leads the bureau to believe that acreage in both fields could be increased. A mod erate increase in e' n- tatoes is ex pected but not ei. ” to affect the. market prices. The report said that probably not more +han a 2o pur cent incr;ase in Virginia type peanuts can be absorb ed by the market without lowering the piwSont average ;>rlce to th? farmer. The outlook for cigar type tobaccb in 1329 appears favorable, the bureau said. The present outlook for fiic- oured tobacco, in:icatas the need for a reduction of acreage. A moderate in crease of hurley acreage might safe ly be made,'but the bureau warns that th‘re is grave danger that builey growers will respond to present hurley j prices by* overplanting in 1929. Th^ ! outlook for fire-cured and dark air- jeured tobacco does not justify an in- [ crea' i in acreage in the opinion, of I the I'ureau. I Acreage of sttawbeiTies in the 1 early and the late shipping' states, ! where there is only a limited season, j does not appear to be excessive, the j bureau said, and market prospects in ' those areas are fairly good. The can taloupe acreage for the United States as a whole last year, with a few sharp local adjustments, was evpected by the bureau to give satisfactory re sults this season, assuming average growing and marketing conditions. Unless the watermelon acreage is reduced from 10 to 20 per cent below Ithat of 1928, the bureau said, an av erage yield of 1929 is likely to result in unsatisfactorx' prices. An average cut of about 15 per cent would limit the producing area close to the moue moderate acreage of 1927, and still yield an averagre crop in an average season, it was pointed out. The outlook for rice was reporte.l better than it was last year. Although the present low prices of rice in the worlit markets may discourage pro duction next year in some foreign countines, the bureau said, it appears that over a longer period American rice producers can expect no material decline in foreign competition.. For the southeastern section the fol lowing forecast was issued: “The outlook for producers through out the Southeast region warrants confidence in a production program in which improvements in quality and in distribution of products, such as I the greater use of legume hays, is em phasized rather than material increas- i es in total quantities produced. In the I Appalachian region and rougher sec- 'lions of the Piedmont and in cer^in | other localities, where conditions are i .definitely favorable, dtveloptnent of ■ ' the dairy enterprise offers good pros pects for an increased income. Increas- j ing competition from other states in I those special fruit and vegetable crops i j generally grown throughout the coun-; ■ try, in which the advantage of the j j South is largely that of early s.ason, | i suggests caution in expanding pro-1 ! dTuction of those eominoditiex and va- i j rieties which do not have viTtUally' i clear fields in consuming centers. | j Available jresources left over after i i providing for acreage not in exce8s"bf t 1 last year for the major staple pro- ■ ducts may well be applied to prodhe- j tion of home-grown food and feed and tc better pastures.” need of a full time, experienced farm er. The various httendanta have as sisted in this woi'k, but as we feel that our first duty, is the pi*oper care of the children, the farming ie neglected occasionally kt critical times. Our oats suffered from the severe cold last win ter and yield was cut considerably. From our spring garden, we gathered a rather large variety of vegetables. Dairy and Live Stock The dairy herd is about as large as it should be but we are greatly in need of better grade cattle. It costs no more to care for a purebred herd than for grade stock, and of course, there is no comparison in the yield of dairy products. We have killed ani cured more than 12.000 pounds of pork, and in addition, will have enough to supply the insti tution with fresh pork for the next ninety days. ‘ Because of an unusually wet spring, we were able to raise only 100 tur keys - this year. Part of these were ^ served to the children at Christmas. { The advantage of an extra large j range has .made the feed cost very ! little. F. L. WEBB, M.
