S department of agriculture’s esti mates for record production of edrti, wheat, sofghutnS, fhlitfc. Com mercial vegetables, peanuts and tree nuts would be realized. Be sides this, banner output, produc tion of dthW 6NjiPs Was Set above aveta^e leVfeli, with otfly rye and sugar beets falling off. In reviewing 1944 food production, the USDA’s crop reporting board declared: "Th4 record harvest which now seems in reach is re markable considering the difficul ties encountered. Farms had to lim it their plantings to crops that they could handle with equipment avail able and with minimum reliance on hired, worRers. Delays from wet Weather were met by family help and long hours of labor. . . Factors figuring in the record food production were increased acreage and greater yields, the lat ter resulting from use of hybrids in com and improved varieties tor other plants. In the country as a whole, the USDA said, yields per acre will be 6 per cent above last year and 30 per cent above the 1923- ’32 per drought average. With an indicated yield per acre of 32.8 bushels, compared with last year’s 32.5, the com crop was set at an all-time high of 3,196,977,000 bushels, due to excellent fall weather benefitting late sown fields in danger of early frosts. - Despite the loss of some spring wheat from delayed threshing caused by wet weather, the total 1944 crop was put at a record 1,108,- 881,000 bushels, with yield per acre up almost 2 bushels from last year at 18 2. With the ritajor portion of the erdp safe firom frost, and yield pet acre estimated at 18 bushels com pared With 15.5 laifct year, .sorghutti production was set at 151,551,000 bushels. Eighty-eight per Cent 6t the total Crop will be harvested id Texas, Oxlatftfffta Cnd Kansas, but production in Other states also was above average. Showing slight increases in yields per acre over last year, production of oatfe was put at 1,192,254,000 bush els, and of barley at 287,091,000 bushels. Although far above the 1933-’42 average, prodOctiod of rice was estimated slightly below last yearns crop at "jb.OlO.OOti bushels. With the harvesting of peaches, cherries, plums, prunes, apricots, summer applefe and pears Virtually ( completed, and the harvestlrig Of grapes, late apples and late pears well advanced, the indicated com bined tonnage of these major deciduous fruits is about 20 per cent greater than the 1943 produc tion and 8 per cent greater than the 1933-’42 average, the USDA said. In addition, the total citrus fruit crop was estimated to be 7 per cent greater than in 1943-’44, the USDA said, with production of grapefruit 13 per cent greater than last season’s record output, and growth of early oranges only slight ly below the all-time mark. In commercial truck crops, greater acreages and bigger yields were expected to add up to a ton nage 11 per cent in excess of the 1942 record. Although fall produc tion was only 2 per cent above 1943 and far below the winter, spring and summer production of this year, heavier supplies for the rest of the year are expected for snap -X- Tum On The Lights And Turn Out Egj U liiim; mMAm & M Gm Clemson, Oct. 21.—Lights are one of the best means of stimu- ating winter egg production, and to this end the hens should be ighted from October until March, P. H. Gooding, extension poultry- man, said today. Trials have shown that the presence of llfeht causes increased functioning of the egg-producing organs. While lights will not in crease the yearly egg production of hens, lights will cause hens to ay a greater number of eggs dur ing the fall and Winter ‘ months when the price is highest, Mr. Gooding explained. It is not necessary to use bright lights as a 15-watt bulb to each 20-foot section of housfc will give ample light. This light does not have to be shaded. Kerosene anterns are used successfully for ighting hens. All-night lights have proved more profitable as a rule than ights turned on about 4 a. m. It is also much more convenient es pecially with kerosene lanterns to ight the house. The lanterns can be lighted about eight or nine o’clock or just before the flock owner goes to bed,*and allowed to burn all night. X Pasture Building Pays Richland County Farmer Columbia, Oct. 21.—While many farmers worried this summer a- bout supplying sufficient feed for thier livestock, “Skeet” Allison well known Richland County dairyman, was able to cut down on his dairy feed needs. Over a period of years, Mr. Al lison has been improving his per manent pasture by periodic appli cations of lime and superphos phate, and by other good manage ment practices. Consequently, he! was aide to maintain an average | daily milk production of three j gallons per cow from June 1 to August 20, on pasture alone. Despite heavy grazing daily, the Dallis grass and lespedeza stand in the pasture was 8 to 10 inches high at the end of the growing season. t'iow that eggs aren’t as plenti ful as they were we are interested in cake recipes that don’t use too many..
