Babson . . Crop Outlook
By Roger W. Babson
Babson Park, Mass., July 25
(Special to Mail Tribune)
Mother Nature surely smiles on
the Democrats by giving the
U. S. good crops for 1952. This
total crop pro
duction now
promises to
-be second on
ly to the rec
ord of 1948.
Here are a
few h i g h
lights. Billion -bushel
- plus
wheat crops
have been almost taken for
granted in recent years. With
the exception of 1951, they have
been the rule since 1943. This
year's indicated total outturn
of 1,249,019,000 bushels is the
third largest crop of record. De
spite its size, it should not cause
any trouble. Farmers have more
storage space available this
year; and can "take advantage of
Government loans if necessary.
In Mississippi, Arkansas, Lou
siana and Texas, as well as in
California, rice growers are pro
ducing an indicated record crop
of well over 45,000,000 bags of
100 pounds each. But I guess it
will not prove burdensome mar
ketwise. Although a relatively
small buckwheat crop is likely,
I do not forecast a shortage of
pancakes on the American Sun
day breakfast table! The small
est rye crop outlook in over 80
years, plus the low carryover,
may well mean considerable
stringency.
Bumper Corn Crop If
Good Weather Continues
Barring unfavorable weather
from now on, the nation's 1952
corn outturn may reach the huge
figure of 39,365,089,000 bushels
the second largest corp crop
on record. This should be good
news to livestock producers,
since it points to more favorable
feeding ratios this fall and win
ter. The barley crop probably
will be the smallest since 1936,
in contrast to an indicated oats
crop well above the ten-year av
erage. A large total hay crop,
of good quality, also is in the
cards.
Bean eaters and they are
by no means all in Boston
will draw on a smaller total crop
of dry edible beans this year
than last. The indicated outturn
of 15,747,000 bags (100 pounds
each) is down materially from
1951 as well as the ten-year av
erage production. The much-loved
Irish potato, which recently
has been spotlighted because of
Government maneuverings, will
be somewhat more plentiful this
year than last. The indicated na
tional potato outturn of 339,
048,000 bushels is 4 per cent lar
ger than the short crop of 1951,
but 18 per cent below the 1941
1950 average. It should suffice,
although the margin may be
none too wide. I expect about
an average production of com
mercial truck crops, and a slight
ly below-average outturn of de
ciduous fruits in 1952. !
Cotton and Oils-eed Prospects ..
May Fall Short
Although it is too early to
forecast as to the probable size
of the 1952 U.S. cotton crop, it
is likely to fall short of the 1951
outturn of 15,068,000 running
bales. I base this forecast sole
ly on the fact that indicated
acreage now in cultivation is 7
per cent under that of a year
ago. Weather and insect damage
between now and harvest time
could further cut yields; but
otherwise the cotton crop and
the financial returns therefrom
will be satisfactory. 1
Another oilseed crop also pro
mises to be large. I refer to the
versatile sqybean. But here,
again, I have nothing to go on
but the expected 4.2 per cent
indicated increase in acreage.
This could result in topping last
year's 280,512,000 bushels the
second largest crop on record.
Although flaxseed and peanut
prospects are materially under
1951, total supplies of oilseeds
and their products will again
be sufficient.
Another Good Year for
Farmers Anticipated
America the Bountiful as
well as the Beautiful should
thank God and her farmers for
munificence of her harvests
past, present, and curraly in
dicated. There has never been
a real famine In the land, and
I pray that there never will be.
From present prospects, 1952
will be another good year for
the farmers, despite the rising
trend of production costs. Pric
es, for the most part, should
be well maintained, allowing
for the usual seasonal varia
tions. Sales opportunities in the
farming areas should continue
excellent provided sellers
stress quality and price their
goods fairly.
