COTTON; AL cotton is forecast at 11.7 million bales, down 1 percent from December 1 and down 10
percent from 1973. Harvest progressed moderately during the month and is nearing completion
except in Texas and Oklahoma.

Expected production consists of 11.6 million bales of Upland cotton and 86,300 bales of American-
Pima, Cottonseed production, based on a 3-year average lint-seed ratio, is estimated at 4.7 million
tons, 6 percent below 1973. Average lint yield per acre is forecast at 443 pounds, 77 pounds less
than 1973.

In the Delta States -- Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee -- 3.7 million bales are
forecast, down 4 percent from December 1, and off 8 percent from 1973. Yields are disappointing.

Texas and Oklahoma Upland cotton production is forecast at 2.9 million bales, off 43 percent
from 1973 and 5 percent below December 1. Yields are well below 1973 on the High Plains of Texas
and Oklahoma.

In California, Arizona, and New Mexico Upland cotton is expected to total 3.7 million bales,
up 46 percent from 1973 and 4 percent above December 1. Harvest is nearing completion and a
large crop is being ginned.

The Southeastern States -- Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina -- expect
production to be 1.4 million’ bales, up slightly from December 1, and 5 percent above 1973.

The Bureau of the Census reports 10.6 million bales ginned to January 1, 1.0 million bales
below that ginned by this data a year earlier.

HAY STOCKS ON FARMS: Stocks of hay on farms January 1 are estimated at 85.2 million tons, down

9 percent from the 93.6 million tons a year earlier, due mainly to reduced
production. The Northwest was the only area that had more hay on hand this January. Other areas,
with the exception of scattered States, were down from last year.

Disapearance from May 1, 1974 through December 31, 1974 totaled 67.2 million tons compared
with 65.5 million tons a year earlier.

CALIFORNIA FREEZE DAMAGE

Citrus areas in the San Joaquin Valley experienced subfreezing temperatures that reached

as low as 22 degrees during two four-day periods of December 23-26 and December 30-January 2,

In the important citrus counties of Tulare, Fresno and Kern where most of the Navel oranges are
produced, temperatures were at or below 27 degrees up to 11 hours, In most instances, however,
the duration at or below 23 degrees was less than 1 hour. Damage was variable but more

serious in orchards without frost protection devices. With a large Navel orange crop in prospect
this year, the'supply for fresh market is expected to be adequate in spite of the diversion of
damaged fruit to processing. There does not appear to be any significant damage in Southern
California.

i; _U. S. orange production is forecast at 233.9 million boxes for 1974-75, unchanged from
last month but 8 percent above last season and 4 percent above the previous record set in 1972-
73. In Florida prospects are for'a record crop of 174.0 million boxes, unchanged from December 1
but 5 percent above last season. Early and mid-season oranges are expected to total 97.0
million boxes, up 5 percent from the previous record set last season. Florida Valencia oranges
at 77.0 million boxes are up 4 percent from last year but 3 percent below the previous record

set in 1972-73,

In California, orange prospects remain unchanged from December 1 at 50.0 million boxes, the
largest crop since 1946-47. Recent cold weather is not expected to affect the quantity of fruit
but-a/higher proportion will have to be diverted, into processed products. Navel orange production
is forecast at 25.0 million boxes, 14 percent above last season. California Valencia oranges

at 25.0 million boxes are up 33 percent from a year ago. Prospects for orange production at 5.5
million boxes in Texas and 4.4 million boxes in Arizona are unchanged from last month. The Texas
crop is down 17 percent from last season while Arizona production is up 29 percent from-a year ago.

Changes in U. S. production between the January 1 forecast and final production have ayeraged
7.0 million boxes over the past 10 seasons, ranging from 1.9 million boxes in 1971-72 to 16.2
million boxes in 1970-71.

ICE YIELD: The all orange juice yield for 1974-75 1s projected

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD:
at 1.29 gallons of 45 degree brix concentrate per box. Final yield from the 1973-74 crop was 1.30
gallons per box.

GRAPEFRUIT: U.S. crop prospects at 59.7 million boxes remain unchanged from last month bet ere

8 percent less than last season, Florida's grapefruit crop is expected to total
44.0 million boxes, 9 percent less than a year ago. The Texas crop at 7.8 million boxes is 27
percent below last season. The small Texas crop this year is the result of bgoom damage from
the freeze of December 20, 1973. In California, prospects remain unchanged from last month at
5.5 million boxes, 29 percent above last year. Approximately 10 percent of the Desert Vafisys
grapefruit crop has now been harvested. Fruit quality has been good. Although ‘temperatures.
during the week of December 23, 1974 were an low as 25 degrees in the Coachella Valley, it is
still too early to appraise the extent of damage, if any, from these low temperatures. Harvest
of the Other Area grapefruit crop will begin the middle of Match to the middle of April. Tem-
peratures in Corona and Santa Barhara were 29 degrees during the week of December 23. In
Arizona, harvest is started. Damage from low temperatures in Arizona was light d@ heaters and
wind machines were effectively used.

LEMONS: Prospects in California increased from last month and are now 34 percent above last

season at a record 19.5 million boxes. Low temperatures have not been a problem im the
major California lemon area around Ventura County. The California desert and San Joaquin Valley
received some frost damage however, with much of the crop in this area already harvested and the
damaged fruit to be recovered for making products, the low temperature will have little effect
on total production, Size, color and quality vary by area but with a large crop and selective
grading, @ good supply of quality fruit will be available for fresh market.

In Arizona a record crop of 5.5 million boxes is expected, unchanged from last month and up
90 percent from last year's light set. Harvest is active and should be completed in February,
Much of the fruit is being utilized for processing.

TANGELOS: Florida's tangelo crop is now expested to total 4.4 million boxes, up 5 percent from

last month and 19 percent above last year's record. Reflecting the larger crop this
year, shipments are ahead of last year with 2.7 million boxes moved through December 29 compared
with 1.8 million boxes a year ago. Harvest is about two-thirds complete.

TANGERINES: The U.S. tangerine crop is expected to. total 4.6 million boxes, unchanged from last

month but 4 percent less than last season. Prospects in Florida are for a crop of
2.5 million boxes of fruit of size 220 or larger. In California most of the Satsumas have been
picked. Harvest is about half done in Central California, which accounta for one-third of the
California tangerine acreage. It is too early to appraise the extent of damage from cold temper=
atures but is is expested that damaged fruit will be used for processed products. .In southern
California which accounts fer approximately two-thirds of the California crop, low temperatures
ate expected to have little adverse: effect.

TEMPLES: Florida’ temple ptoduction 4s forecast at 5.3 million boxes, unchanged from last month
~~~ and equal to the record ieet in both the 1973-74 and 1971-72 seasons.

POTATOES: The first forecast of production for the 1975 winter potato crop at 2.8 million ecwt.
is down 3 percent from last year's production of 2.9 million cwt. Lower yields in
both California and Florida more than off-set increases in acreage this year. Harvest is now
underway in the Kern County area of California. Cullage is running higher than normal due to
cool weather at time of harvest. Excessive rain in the Dade County area of Flordia during early
December caused minor damage to the crop. The crop has made satisfactory recovery with only
slight yield reductions expected. Light harvest is underway in the EvergZaden with increased
volume expected in late January.

Intended plantings of spring potatoes for 1975 are estimated at 86,200 acres, 14 percent
less than the 100,700 acres planted last year.

Planting intentions for all spring crop states except Louisiana and Mississippi are down
from last year. Alabama intentions are estimated at 10,600 acres compared with 12,500 acres
planted last year. In California intentions at 32,000 are down 3,500 acres from 1974. In the
Hastings area of Flordia intended plantings at 15,800 acres are down 17 percent from last jear's
plantings of 19,000.

December Weather and Crop Progress

Farmers in most States generally finiehéd harvesting their corn and soybean crops by the end of
December. However, poor drying conditions in Indiana and some areas of Illinois had farmers still
Struggling to complete their harvest. In Indiana, the corn harvest was 6 weeks behind and the soybean
harvest 8 weeks behind the 1973 progress. Soybean harvest was continuing on January 1 in Arkansas,
Mississippi, Oklahoma, and scattored fields in South Carolina. Cotton picking was Uctayed by wet fleld
conditions in several States during the month. Harvest continued active in Arkansas, Mississippi,
Oklahoma, and Texas in early January but wes nearly complete in Arizona, New Mexico and South Carolina.

December temperatures averaged warmer than normal throughout most of the northern half of the
Nation and east of the Mississippi River. Temperatures in northern Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota
and Wisconsin averaged 4 to 10 degrees above normal. In the Southwest, temperatures were 4 to 6 degrees
below normal in Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.

Temperature departures varied widely during the month with the first week much colder than usual
over the eastern half of the Country and warm in tie Western States. During the second week, the
northern half of the Nation was well above normal as temperatures in North Dakota and Minnesota averaged
6 to 12 degrees above normal. Parts of Arizona and New Mexico averaged 6 to 9 degrees below normal.
Except for the Southeast, most of the Nation was warmer then normal during the week ending the 22nd.
Temperatures during the final week of December were much warmer than usual over the eastern half of the
Country while the far Nest temperatures were below normal.

Total precipitation for the month was highly variable, ranging from nothing in areas of the
Southwest to over 19 inches at Quillayute, Washington. Areas well above normal included the New England
Coast, southwest Texas and southern California. THe northern Great Plains generally remained dry.

A vigorous storm lashed the Great Lakes and New England area during the first week of December.
When the weather cleared, Detroit, Michigan and Toledo, Ohio had received 18 inches of snow, while 2
feet of snow remained in many parts of West Virginia, the worst storm since 1968. A complex storm
syétem also dumped heavy rains over most of Mississippi and Louisiana. Considerable snow fell during
the second week in various parts of the Country. On the 11th, heavy snow fell over Kansas and Oklahoma
while rain and thundershowers occurred over the lower Mississippi Valley. By the 15th, nearly 11 inches
of snow blanketed parts of Nebraska and Kansas, Heavy rain during the week ending the 22nd caused
local flooding £n the mid-Atlantic States, During the final week, heaviest precipitation fell in the
deep South as 2 to 4 inches of rain fell over several States,

WINTER WHEAT prospects varied considerably on January 1 and the overall condition was rated good in.tost
“~~ major winter wheat States,

In the southern Great Plains, wheat made good top growth early in December, but growth was slowed
by bitter cold weather toward the end of the month. Soil mbisture was abundant except in central
Kansas and the Oklahoma Panhandle where supplies were generally short, Elsewhere in Oklahoma and the
northern half of Texas, grazing was limited by cold weather and wet muddy fields. Grazing was generally
above average in the southern half of Texas.

Wheat in the northern Great Plains was without a protective snow cover during most of December;
however, temperatures remained above normal mich of the time and sub-zero weather was minimal. Very
little wind damage has occurred. Dry weather continued over much of the area during the month.

In the Pacific Northwest, Washington's winter wheat area finally accumulated a protective snow
cover, while most of eastern Oregon had below normal precipitation during December.

Wheat in the eastern Corn Belt and Missouri was witnout snow cover on January 1, but soil moisture
supplies were generally adequate or better. In other States east of the Mississippi River cool temper-
atures slowed growth while wet conditions limited grazing. The fall seedings remain in generally good
condition.
