Mrs. Stewart will observe her Tooth

lew invited guests were invited to the

n. ENGLAND REPORT
ON AGRICULTURAL
OUTLOOK FOR YEAR

A statement received Monday by
Charles M. White. chief of the di-
vision of markets of the state depart

England Agricultural outlook for
1926 says that general business ac-
tivity has improved rather steadily
since the summer of 1924 and
production, employment and con-
sumer- purchasing power are now at
q high level.
This statement was prepared I'M
der the auspices of the New England
Research Council on marketing and

New England agricultural colleges.

farmers organizations the New
England Crop Reporting Service and

available information as to the pro-
duction and market conditions which
are likely to prevail this year. and is
designed to give New ENGLAND farm

upon the continued use of improved
seed and the sterilization OF norman
acreage to avoid over productions.
There Is room for considerable
difference Of opinion regarding just
how large an acreage should De
planted. The over production OF
1924 resulted from an exceptional
yield per acre. The high price re-
ceived for the 1925 crop resulted
from reduction in acreage OF seven
per cent and reduction in the yield
per acre of IS per cent. 1t would,
therefore, seem advisable for New
England growers to use utmost care
in the determination of acreage to
be planted in 1926. On March 18th,
the United States Department OF
Agriculture will issue a report on
the acreage of potatoes and other
crops which farmers then intend to
plant. but in the case of potatoes
changes after that date may need to
be considered this season.
Fertilizer requirements for the
1925 crop are not yet undetermined.
but present conditions would seem to
indicate that considerable portion
would be bought for cash. necessarily
creating a more conservative atti-
tude by growers and further step
toward sterilization of the acreage to
a normal basis. The high cost OF
seed potatoes this year is another
factor which may make for more
conservative attitude toward increas-
ed paintings in some sections.
ut is probable that the certified
seed acreage may be reduced slight
ly.
Marketing the Apple Crop
"The outlook for marketing the re-
mainder of the 1925 apple crop does
not appear as favorable as a year
ago. While the total apple crop in
the United States shows slight de-
cline from that of 1924 the COM
mercial crop shows an increase of IA
per cent. This increase has been
particularly large in the Northwest.
which completes very strongly with
New England apples.
New England apple growers are
urged to continue to improve the
quality. grade and pack of their APP
piles. The percentage of Boston
receipts of apples coming from the
northwestern apple states for the
period from July first to December
first decreased from "a per cent of
the total supply in 1923 to IA per
cent in 1924 and IL per cent in 1925.
THE long time outlook for apple
production in New England under
suitable production and marketing
conditions appears to be good. High
quality eastern apples are Compel
ing more favorablv with the boxed
apples from the West. and indica-
lions are that there will be some re-
duction in the production Of those
competing varieties in the North
west. However. growers contemplat-
ing new paintings should consider
carefully results Of the New England
apple survey now bein~ carried on nv

several New England states"

ers more facts upon which to base
their plans for the season.
ANY decline from this high level
of business activity and consumer
purchasing power would result IN a
smaller demand for the products or
New England farms.
1.-THE present level of business ac-
tivity should continue well into 1875
until the remainder of the 1925
crops are marketed. However. the
indications are that the present high
level of business activity and IN
dustrial production throughout the
nation will probably not be MAINTAIN
ed during the season when the 1870
crops are being marketed. JUST as
certain basic industries are now
adjusting their future productoh
schedules for a lower domestic de-
mand during 1867. so should agrl.
culture, as a whole, plan It's 1870
production to supply a market at
best no stronger and probably some
what less favorable than the present.
Outlook for Dairymen
1.-THE outlook for fluid milk pro-
ducers appears more satisfactory
during 1925 than the outlook for
dairymen VINO produce for the out-
ter market. Consumption of fluid
milk in 1925 promises to continue as
about the same level as 1925. The
increase in per capita consumption
which has taken place in recent
years will probably not continue.
prices for other dairy products
will probably continue fairly FAVOR
able during the first half of 1926 but
will probably be lower than last year
during the second half of the year.
Feed prices will probably continue
favorable to dairymen through the
first half of 1926,
1.-THE outlook for poultry prices for
the first half of 1926 is better than
for 1925. The prospect for lower
egg prices and more hens makes 1t
seem likely that increased offerings
of poultry will depress poultry prices
for the last half of 1925.
Egg Prices Have Moved Downward
Despite industrial prosperity and
consequent high purchasing power of
New England consumers. egg prices
have tended to move downward for
the past two years, thus rejecting IN
the form of somewhat lower prices
the steady increase in our poultry
population. The poultry man must
decide how far it is wise to stimulate
this downward trend in prices by
furtherlng increasing poultry produce
ton in New England.
Eggs were stored during the
spring of 1925 at prices considerably
in excess of those. at which they are
now being sold This condition is
likely to have a depressing effect on
the buyers of eggs for storage dur
ing the spring of 1925.
There seems little likelihood that
feed prices will change materially
until the extent of the 1925 grain
crops can be estimated. The New
England poultryman must speed up
his efforts to produce standardized
high quality product and maintain
it's identity until it reaches the con-
sumner.
Should Study Potato Acreage

lions careful study of the acreage
situation should be made with stress
