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.
