The farmer can get credit I'M

Total supplies Of flue cured

Virginia soybean production is
expected TO be one per cent
higher for 1862. The increase in
yields per acre will more than
offset the decreased acreage
planted this year.
National soybean production
was estimated to be 669 million
bushels, or three per cent below
last years record crop. At the
national level, a decrease in
yield from 25.3 bushels in 1861
to an estimated "a bushels in
1862 more than offset the Slight
increase in acres planted.
The national support price for
1862 crop soybeans is 1926 per
bushel. Farmers are likely this
year to take part heavily in the
Commodity Credit Corporation
oCCC support program to pro-
tect themselves against season
ally low prices.
Most of Virginia's soybeans
are exported as whole beans. In
dlcatl0ns are that his export
market demand Will continue to
be strong through 1853, due pri-
marty to an expected increase
in crush and bean exports.
Virginia's peanut yield per
acre dropped from a record high
of 2.l0o pounds in 1888 to 1850
pounds III 1861 Conditions il
1862 indicate a yield Of 1900
pounds per acre.
So, the economists look for
slight increase in total 1roduc
ton in the Virginia Carolina
area. With lower yields predict
ed for the nation as a whole,
total U. S. production could bi
as much as three per cent be-
low the 1861 crop of l,743 bill

above the l95l-50 average.
Peanut, prices during the 1862
50 marketing year are expected
to be about the same as in the
previous year, and not far from
the CCC loan value.
In contrast to the nation, Viz
glnia feed grain output in 1862
IS three per cent greater than
in 1861. and 65 greater than the
10 year average for 1851 so An
eight per cent increase in the
output of corn more than offset
small reductions in oats and bar
ley output.
Price supports for 1862 feed
grains are at the same level as
in 1851 The general level Of
feed grain prices this fall and
winter are not likely to differ
from a year earlier
In recent years, Virginia farm
ers have been harvesting hay

acreage is slightly downward,

Forty Of these were spliced In

Because their settings are
