The State Agricultural Extension Service reports growing participation in a grove costs and returns program. Records show 118 groves in one season, 200 in 1931-32, and 268 in 1932-33. A damp woolen cloth will collect broken glass fragments easily.
Secretary Wallace reviews a map showing 2185 county corn hog control associations formed nationwide to administer the 1934 production adjustment program. Associations schedule thousands of local meetings for a referendum among contract signers and organize county committees to manage signups data and local expenses. Wallace says these democratic groups may foster social discipline and function as key features of the emergency program.
A large acreage of fall beans was planted and markets stay overloaded until frosts hit. Prices range from 50 cents to 1.25 dollars per bushel as picking continues heavier than usual around New York City and nearby regions. The Eastern Shore and Virginias report strong yields and later volume through mid November, with Norfolk and Carolinas shipping beans and carrots already, competing with Florida's crop. Interior areas also show good growing conditions and higher than average yields for fall beans.
Paul S. Armstrong of the California Fruit Growers Exchange urged California and Florida citrus groups to join a nationwide advertising push to lift total demand. He noted California controlled 77 percent of its crop and his group spent 20 million dollars on a 27 year sales campaign. He said increasing each person’s orange intake by one would boost demand for 1500 cars, citing a 31.5 percent per capita rise during the depression.
The U S D A report issued October 12 in Orlando estimates Florida citrus season 1934 35 at 36 million boxes with oranges 18 5 million, grapefruit 15 million, and tangerines 2 5 million. Commercial crop totals 30 million boxes with 16 8 million oranges and 11 million grapefruit. October 1 conditions show oranges at 82 percent of normal, grapefruit 79 percent, and tangerines 76 percent, while other staples like corn, oats, and peanuts rise from last year and pasture improves.
The report notes usable local bean amounts and a slightly larger Louisiana crop this year. Texas fall acreage remains near normal and progress will follow its usual schedule. Heavy rains delay Florida beans, likely pushing supply into November, avoiding stiff competition from nearer regions with shorter freight costs.
The report shows rising demand for fresh produce as buying power grows. In early year centers like Pittsburgh Detroit and Cleveland consumption climbed 100 to 20 percent versus last year with higher industrial activity. New York lagged until May when perishables sales rose. Atlanta and other southern cities also increased. Prices hinge on planting levels determining supply.
