MOLER United -Press Staff Correspondent SALT LAKE CTTY, April 15 UE An encouraging outlook for Utah's multi-million dollar agricultural agri-cultural industry i" Its drive to help the war effort through the food-for-freedom drive was reported re-ported today by one of the Inter-mountain Inter-mountain west's leading experts Frank Andrews., Andrews, senior statistician for the federal agricultural marketing market-ing service, reported in an interview inter-view with the United Press that plantings of most crops were above previous years and that growing conditions were much better than normal. Soil moisture in particular Is far above average," the veteran student of agriculture conditions said. "The ground was not frozen when the heavy snows came last winter. As a result, the moisture went right into the ground where it can easily be tapped by the roots. Reservoir storage conditions condi-tions are only 'fair but this ground moisture more than makes up for this." Checking off the Individual crops with figures he kept close at hand or had right on the tip of his tongue Andrews said there was a particularly fine improve ment in feed crops. Oats planting is up. There's some increase in corn, flaming of spring wheat Is starting but figures on acreages aren't avau able. A new forecast of the winter wheat crop for 1942 harvesting of its starts in July is for 3,-675,000 3,-675,000 bushels, 1,200,000 under the banner 1941 crop but still 20 per cent above the 10-year average, aver-age, despite a reduction in total acreage. But the largest increase comes in barley, a comparative newcomer newcom-er to Utah fields. Andrews said that "for every one acre of barley bar-ley planted in Utah 20 years ago, there are 12 now with a total acreage this year of more tnan 160.000." Andrews explained that barley was gaining recognition as a feed crop, "fattening and with a high yield and early harvest, and a crop that doesn't require too much irrigation in fact can be grown on dry farms." Turning to the important Utah fruit crop, Andrews said the status stat-us of the peach crop was undecided. un-decided. ' Many dormant peach buds were killed by the extremely cold winter," win-ter," the federal expert - pointed out. "Some say the current warm weather may help them. But only time can tell and the crop probably prob-ably will be below normal." Andrews said apricots and cherries ."are in pretty good shape if the weather man will let us alone." Apples mostly Jona thans probably will average around the 400,000 bushels grown last year. Acreage planted to peas is the highest on record. He said farmers farm-ers are also trying to plant record crops or tomatoes and sugar beets than before. He predicted a slight increase in potatoes, but not much. The onion crop is expected to be about normal around 250,000 sacks. A 30 per cent increase to 1300 acres is anticipated in string beans for canning.
