Crop ol Winter
Wheat Expected
To Show Decline
. Washington- iUPD -The 1962
winter wheat crop will be
down substantially from the
large 1961 crop. This should
cause a considerable reduction
In the big breadgrain surplus.
' The Agriculture Depart'
ment's April crop summary
Tuesday estimated the fall-
planted crop will total 921
million bushels. This is 14 per
cent, or 13S million bushels,
below the 1961 crop, but 5
per cent above the 10-year
average. Tuesday's estimate
-also is 23 million bushels be
low the first forecast of the
1962 crop made last Decem
ber.
1.1 Billion Buihtli
, A crop the size of the Aoril
1 forecast means an all-wheat
crop of about 1.1 billion bush
els will be produced. This as
sumes a spring wheat crop of
around 198 million bushels.
The estimated total would be
less than anticipated domestic
consumption and export de
mand. This means consumers,
both domestic and foreign,
would have to call on carry
over stocKs now in govern
ment bins. Estimates of the
carryover reduction on July
1, 1963, range up to 130 mil
lion bushels.
The reduced crop reflects
- operation of the 1962 wheat
stabilization program where
by farmers collect eovern
' ment payments under manda-
. tory reduction of 10 per cent
oi tneir wneat acreage and
additional voluntary reduc
tions of acreage.
Nothing Firm
The department pointed out
there is nothing firm about
the current estimate of pro
duction. It assumes normal
weather, insect, and disease
' conditions for the remainder
of the crop season. Also,
farmers have not yet made
a final determination relative
to the acreage to be harvest
ed. The department said the
' 1962 crop season got off to
a slow start with cold, damp
weather in early March. Plant
growth was behind the usual
pace until more seasonal late
March temperatures brought
a promise of spring. Field
work was delayed by frequent
snow or rain which kept soils
too wet for plowing and seed
bed preparation.
Grain Stocki Down
The crop summary showed
food grain stocks on farms
were about 20 per cent lower
man last April 1 and 7 per
cent below average. Farm
stored wheat was 18 per cent
less than last April while rye
stocks were down 43 per cent.
Soybean stocks on farms
rocketed to a new high, more
than double the small hold
ings a year earlier and 18
per cent above the previous
record farm stocks of April
1, 1960.
Tonnage of feed grains held
on farms April 1 was 1 per
cent lower than a year earlier
but 29 per cent above aver
age. Farm-stored corn reached
a new high of 2. IS billion
bushels 3 per cent above the
previous higli last year and
40 per cent above average.
Stocks of sorghum, oats, and
barley were down sharply.
Citrus production for 1961-
62 is expected to be 6 per
cent greater than last season
and 3 per cent above average.
lollipop Is Still
Reliable Pacifier
New York-iUPU-'ihe most re
liable pacifier for a frighten
ed child apparently is still a
lollipop.
The pharmacy at the Co-lumbia-Prcsbyte.ian
Medical
center in 196 dispensed more
than a quarter-million lolli
pops to child paticiits, ac
cording to John J. Rio, chief
pharmacist, who said a lolli
pop Is a sure psychological
weapon for overcoming a
child's fears.
"Candy is something fa
miliar that a youngster rec
ognizes and understands." Rio
said. '"It's almost amazing
how fast tears stop for a lollipop."
Dairymen Must Know
Some Cow Psychology
College Statio.i. Tex.-iOT-A.
M. Meekma of the Texas
A- & M. college extension
ervice says a little "cow
psychology" could make the
difference between breaking
even and making a good pro
fit from dairying.
"It is shown in many
ways," Meekm said. "The
dairyman's handllnr feeding,
milking and carirg for his
cows, the general appearance
of hi? herd and his knowledge
of when to call the veterina-1
rlnn all reflect understanding i
of cow psychology. There I
only one way to gain it, hew-1
ever, and that through ex
pcrlence working with anl
rials."
