Peach Fertilizer Program Boosts Yields
Pennsylvania State University researchers report eight years of Penn State trials showing peach yields up to 900 bushels per acre with high nitrogen and high phosphate and potash. Typical yields run 550 to 600 bushels per acre, with 100 extra bushels per acre from added phosphate per tree.

Caterpillars Expected to Be Fewer This Year
Harrisburg expert Dr Thomas L Guyton head of Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture predicts Eastern tent caterpillar outbreaks will be less severe based on surveys showing only three egg clusters in six heavily infested counties last year. Natural enemies and targeted sprays like malathion or pyrethroid mix are advised for protection this season. Speed remains a major factor in accident losses noted for 1960 with over 10 000 pets killed and more than one million injured.
