DEFINITIONS,

Rarely is it possible to indicate the total money value of any specific
group of agricultural crops on a comparable basis with another group of crops. In
other words, the level at which agricultural commodities are traded varies with
the particular items as well as the particular areas in which the trading takes
place. At the present there is no common denominator for the tabulation of all
agricultural products. For example, the total value of sweet potatoes is figured
on an FO.B. basis, minus selling charges in Florida, Louisiana, and California,
while in New Jersey and the Carolinas, they are calculated on a price-paid at the
farm. This is due to the differing systems of trading in these States.

Since there is no feasible method for calculating agricultural products
to the same common denominator, various methods based on economic principle of
expressing the money value of production, sales and income have been accepted by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Definitions generally used throughout this
report follow:

Value of production is computed by applying the season average price re-
ceived by growers for quantities sold from a particular crop or during the market-
ing season, depending on the commodity, to the total quantities produced.
Similarly, the value of sales is the unit price applied to the quantity sold from
a particular crop or during the marketing season, depending on the commodity.

In other words, the value of production is the money worth of the total
grown for harvest while the value of sales is the money received for the-
ion of the harvested crop sold on the market. For example, if a farmer feeds
t corn he produces to his livestock it has a production value, However, since
no money was received it has no sales value

Gross Income: Realized gross farm income includes (a) cash receipts
from farm marketing, (b) value of farm products consumed in farm households; (c)
rental value of farm dwellings; and (d) government payments to farmers. Total
gross income is the realized gross income plus or minus the value of the net
change in farm inventories of crops and livestock.

Cash receipts from farm marketing consist of total money received from
the sale of farm products, together with the net receipts from Commodity Credit
Corporation loans

In other words, cash receipts differ from gross income in that cash
receipts include only the amount of money received from the market transactions
and the CCC loan programs while gross income is the overall value of agricultural
products consumed and marketed as well as the rental of the farm dwelling.

Farm Value (as used to compute total gross income above) as applied to
crops in the various tables, is derived by multiplying production by the estimated
season average price received by farmers for that portion of the commodity
actually sold. The term is used in the inventory tables on livestock and poultry
to mean value of the number of head on farms on January 1. It is derived by
multiplying the number of head by an estimated value per head as of that date.

F.O.B. Packed Value All prices used on truck crops are on an F.O.B.
basis, which includes harvesting services such as picking, grading, packing and
containers, less selling charges. In the case of some commodities which are sold
in units other than the one listed, these units are converted into the equivalent
of the ones used.

F.O.B. Packed Value differs from Farm Value in that the FoO.B. Value is
the money value of the harvested crop while the Farm Value covers current book
value of all farm crops and livestook, whether sold on the market or not.

Citrus price terminology Average prices as sold refer to the average
prices actually received by growers in the local market at the point where the
fruit changes ownership. In general, fruit may be sold F`OoB. packed by growers,
at the incoming packing house door, or on the trees. If sales are made through
grower cooperatives, it is considered that the first sale is made by the coopera-
tive.

However, in order to keep all prices on a local market basis, sales by
individual growers and grower-oooperatives at terminal auctions and other distant
points are priced on. an equivalent F.O.B. shipping-point basis. F.O.B. citrus
prices refer to the prices received by grower-packer of grower cooperatives for
the fruit sold packed, with the price including costs of grading, packing, con-
tainers, and selling expenses When adjustments are made in actual average prices
as sold in order that these prices will apply to some sales position other than
the position at which the sale was made, the results are referred to as "equiv-
alent per unit returns."

Equivalent per unit returns for citrus are calculated at two points of
sales

1) Equivalent packing-house door returns refer to all fruit, regardless
of the methods of sale, converted to a price which it would have returned had the
entire crop been sold at the incoming packing:>house door.

(2) Equivalent on free returns refer to all fruit similarly converted to
the price it wRuld hae--'r i had the entire crop been sold on the tree.

In arriving at equivalent per unit returns, costs are added to, or sub-
tracted froa prices of fruit as actually sold in order to obtain returns to
growers at one of the two specified points in the marketing procesSo For example,
in order to obtain equivalent paoking*house door returns for Florida oranges, (I)
the average price for fruit actually sold FLO.B. packed is reduced by the charge
for grading, packing, containers, eato, (2) the average price for fruit actually
sold on the tree is, inceased by the cost of picking and hauling to the packing
house door, and (3) the saeasoa. returns so derived are then oc,mbined with the re-
ported price for the qantityixIf any, actually sold in bulk at the incoming pack-
ing-house door by weighing the equivalent returns for each method of sales in
proportion to the volume actually sold at each point.

FOREWORD

Though we like to have writings different from and
better than any previously prepared, the nature of an annual
statistical summary is restrictive in latitude of contents. In-
cluding comparative figures for preceding seasons is so necessary
that following the pattern already established is practically in-
escapable. Indulging in wide departure from previous standard
form would possibly result in some confusion in attempting to
reconcile volume and walue assignments of current and back-years
coverage.

In spite of effort to boil down and condense the data,
screening out relatively unimportant material, the Annual Report
continues to increase in size. The swelling however is normal,
healthful -- and not the result of bloating or puffery.

Few perhaps realize that the numerous tabulations con-
tained are the verified recordings of hourly, daily, weekly and
monthly market news computations. Such as these require thought,
experience, judgment. Pounding many typewriter keys, fingering
across many adding and calculating machine keyboards and operating
various printing, folding and addressing equipment is necessary
before official market news releases are ready to go.

Behind all this are the "men with the pen", such as Mr,,
Elmo F. Scarborough and Bureau associates, who plan and make
ready the "fill" for our annual report. "By their works ye shall
know them", and thus I believe you will find the 1957-58 report
to be the most comprehensive and useful Annual Statistical Summary
of the entire series. Excuse me while I turn a few pages to be
sure I have not forgotten what I am supposed to know'

ANNUAL AGRICULTURAL STATISTICAL SUMMARY

By Elmo F. Scarborough, Market News Specialist

SUMMARY REVIEW
News Release

The total value of agricultural production hit a new high of $717,281,000
in the 1957-58 season. This was a h percent increase over the $690,363,000 of
1956-57, and a 3 percent increase over the previous record of $699,435,000 for
1955-56. This shows surprising strength in the state farm economy in spite of
3 months of historic cold weather and heavy rains throughout much of the
production season. The situation is attributed, in part, to a strong demand
for citrus, as well as for cool season truck crops (cabbage, celery, etc.),
dairy products and livestock, The money value of $267 million for citrus was
the highest on record, although the production was the lowest in five years.
The short crop brought excellent prices. Total truck crops sales amounted to
$146 million, which was 17 percent lower than last year, and the lowest since
1952-53.

Indications are that during the year 1958, dairy products and livestock
will bring higher returns than in 1957. Field crops will be slightly higher
in value, The value of miscellaneous fruits and edible nuts will be quite a
lot less due to the heavy blossom kill to avocado and mango trees, these
fruits constituting a substantial portion of the volume under this grouping.
Poultry and egg products will be down slightly. Values of horticultural
specialties, and forest and miscellaneous products will probably remain about
the same. (Citrus and truck crops values are for the production season,
August through July, while other commodity values are for the calendar year,

WEATHER

The character of the 1957-58 weather report for Florida may be found on
page 17. Here are some additional facts: There was cold and wet'weather
with occasionally strong winds from December through February, and cool, wet
weather in March, The frequency of the low temperature periods made firing
of the citrus groves a rather common operation. There were three nights dur-
ing the first part of December when temperatures were th the mid 20's in the
citrus belt, three nights in January, and eight nights during February.

During the winter months, if one weather factor could be blamed above
another for damaging the vegetable crops, I suppose one might say that it
would be a toss-up between the heavy rains and the frequent periods of low
temperature. Spring weather was mostly windy and showery, causing irregular-
ity in production for some commodities.

One review (1) released in late Januaryinotes that gladiolus suffered an
85 percent damage to the flower crop from the December freeze on the Florida
West Coast. The Lower East Coast reported little freeze damage but lost 15
to 20 percent of the crop as a result of heavy rains. The Vero Beach-Cocoa
area was heavily damaged by cold. As a result of the December freeze,
gladiolus bulb damage was estimated at 20 to 25 percent of the total planted
in Florida at that time.

Page 2

Pompoms showed an overall damage of an estimated 30 to 35 percent. Foliage
plants and tender nursery stock were estimated at a 30 to 35 percent outright
loss, 30 percent damaged by salvageable and 30 to 35 percent undamaged.
Ferneries in Central Florida were badly damaged in December and again in
January. About 40 percent of this crop was lost.

Cattle too suffered from rain and cold. An estimated 50,000-75,000 head
were lost through cold exposure, starvation and high water during December,
January and February of 1957-58. The effects of last winter will be seen for
some time in smaller calf crop, malnutrition, stunted growth, etc.

CIORUS

The citrus people did very well pricewise,this being attributed mostly
to the strong demand from both the fresh and the processed channels during the
1957-58 season. Northern auction prices for oranges, grapefruit and tangerines
were the highest in thirty years, except for the year 1949-50, when grapefruit
primes averaged slightly higher than this past year.

The October 1, 1957 citrus production estimate was 144.5 million-box
maits for the 1957-58 season. The final estimate for the season was 116.4
mil3ica boxes. The difference is amounted for by freeze loss.

The orange crop of 82.5 million boxes in the 1957-58 season was the
lowest since the 1952-53 season, when 72.2 million boxes were harvested. Be-
fore the first freeze of December 12 and 13, it was estimated there were 102
million boxes of oranges available. The final estimated count showed proc-
essors used 63.8 million boxes, their third largest volume on record, being
surpassed only by the volume of the previous two seasons. The fresh market
experienced its lightest supply since the 1936-37 season, registering at 18.7
million boxes.

The grapefruit crop of 31 million boxes in 1957-58 was the lightest since
1916-50. Production of this fruit has increased only slightly in recent years,
the last five years showing a range of from 32 to 42 million boxes.

The tangerine crop was extensively damaged by the freeze of December 12
and 13. The 2.1 million boxes of 1957-58 harvest was less than half of the
4.8 to 5.0 million boxes of the past 5 years.

TRUCK CROPS

Vegetables: The vegetable crop harvests during the 1957-58 season dipped
to 82,906 carlot equivalents, which was 26 percent lower than the 1956-57
season, and 26 percent lower than the five-year average. The past season's
vegetable output was the- west since 1949-50, when 82,897 carlot equivalents
of vegetables were shipped from the State.

We believe that the high production reached during the 1954-55 and 1955-56
seasons, when favorable weather conditions existed, is indicative of the volume
for which growers were striving when the weather undermined their 1957-58 crops.
In these two earlier years Florida shipped some 123,000 carlots of vegetables,
which was 48 percent greater than in 1957-58.

A review of the weekly shipments for the three coldest months, December,
January, and February, and also in March and early April, when most of the
crops were recovering, will show what happened.

Page 3A

*December: It was the week of December 22-28 before shipments show a
marked decline resulting from. the .free.zez f DLceraejr.1 pnd 13. In lat4
December, there were only 1000 .calopts..opfegetalgl.s shipped, compared tp 2400
carlots for a similar week of the previous :ypar, and 2500 carlots over a35-year
period. . .. -.. I, .-.. .

January: Harvested production varied from one,-thirji to _one-jhalf of a 5-
year average of 2800 weekly carlot equivalents. 0

February: Weekly shipments ranged :frot80061000 carlots compared tp
2500-3000 of the previous year, and 3800 carlots for the five-year average.
It should be noted that the 1956-57 weekly supplies were down slightly from
the average due to rains.

March. Market supplies increased slowly from 1000 carlots weekly in the
early- part of the month to 1700 carlots toward the end of the month. March
shipments generally average around h500 carlots. Supplies began to peag in
mid-April and continued heavy throughout June, .-

Watermelon1s: 28,900 carlot equivalents moved from .Florida during 1?57-58.
In recent years, melon supplies have varied from 27,000 to 32,000 carlot equiv-
alents annually. The harvest of this crop was late getting underway due to
flooding, cold weather damage to the early acreage, and cool growing weather
up to the time of harvest. Melon movement usually starts in late April; after
which the 'volume picks up to 100 carlot equivalents daily, by early May and 600
carlots daLly by late May.

The first commercial volume for watermelons of a 100-carlot day du ing
the past season was reached on May 28. Practically all sections of the State
came into production at the same time. Growers in rany instances did w4ll to
realize a small portion of their production costs. A heavy supply marketed
from a number of southern shipping points almost simultaneously plus cool
weather in the northern cities was reflected in generally weak prices through-
out most df the season.

FOOD'S PLACE IN THE BUDGET

The C2) theory was commonly held that in bad times people would spend more
on food, less on other things. Then, when business brightened and incomes rose,
some economists figured that more dollars would be spent on food but that the
amount would be a progressively smaller percentage of total consumption
expenditure. In other words, spending"bn food was supposed to rise at a slower
rate than consumer spending as a whole. By this reasoning, food shouldibe a
significantly smaller item in today's "affluent" budgets. Yet spendingion food
even during the recent recession was relatively more important than it was in
the early -1930's. About 200 out of every dollar the consumer spends goes for
food. This figure is somewhat higher than it was during the depth of tke
depression, a completely unexpected development. Since World War II,.consumers
have formed strong new eating and cooking habits. The post-war period has been
a new era ,in eating with menus of imagination and variety. We have been living
in a cornucopia of consumer goods. Houses, cars, appliances, recreation, im-
proved services -- never before have there been so many things other than food
to spend money on; never before has competition for the consumer's dollar been
so keen. Nonetheless, food has more than held its own.

Page 3B

High food prices are a deceptively easy way to explain the consumer's
food-spending patterns. The cost of food has risen faster than the general
cost of living index. Food is up 158 percent since 1939, while "all items" are
up 108 percent. Thus, some might hold that high prices have inflated food
spending. It costs relatively more to fill the same old market basket. Look
at it this way; when the housewife checks out her bundles at the market, she
purchases two very different kinds of resources rolled into one. First, she
buys nouristments and, of course, taste; second, she purchases a vast variety
of services -- things that have been done to her food, like transportation,
processing and packaging. The new era for food appears to be far from over.
Expected increases in income and living standards should sustain food expend-
itures and other factors should provide extra impetus. An unprecedented amount
of research is going on and many new advances in packaging and processing are
not far away. For example, radiation-sterilization is being readied for
commercial application. The process preserves food so that it can be stored
without refrigeration. You just take a meal down from the shelf, pop it into
your new radar range for a few seconds, and, "Voila!"

These remarks on the new eating trend bring out three points: (1) keen
competition for the food dollar; (2) increase of services in the form of proc-
essing and packaging; (3) menus with imagination and variety. These are impor-
tant points as they offer a clue to future buying habits. First, who knows
about the good features of the farmer's product unless he tells his story
through an advertising medium? Peaches are an example of a story poorly told.
There are many new varieties of peaches on the market, Many of excellent
marketable quality, But what portion of the population knows of any peach
variety other than Elberta?

Florida truly has a glamorous picture to present of its many colorful,
exotic and tasty foods. The citrus industry has come through with excellent
merchandising. The avocado and lime people are following a similar pattern.
During the past year the Florida egg producers have been selling the idea of
Florida eggs for use at every breakfast table from Pensacola to Key West. In
April 1958 corn growers were faced with the problem of selling their peak
production volume in two weeks instead of six weeks. Adverse weather conditions
affected planting schedules, causing a large acreage to mature at the same time.
This meant twice the average weekly volume. A small but effective advertising
campaign helped find homes for 200-300 carlots of corn daily, and cushioned the
shock of burdensome supplies.

Processing and packaging of fruits and vegetables stands to advance greatly
in this new era if they are not challenged through increased advertising tactics
of the fresh produce groups, especially vegetables. Overall production figures
of fresh produce have shown increases, with a decrease, however, from a per
capital standpoint.

One of the largest marketing problems still facing Florida producers is how
to get effective merchandising programs into action for all products.

LAND UTILIZATIONS There were 34,728,000 acres of land in Florida, according to the latest (1954)
official studied. Of this total, an estimated 3,443,000 acres were in cropland, 3,000,000 acres in
improved pastures, and 7,000,000 acres of other pasture and range land (exclusive of cropland used
only for pasture as well as for grazed forest and woodland.) Forest and woodland accounted for
14,900,000 acres, with a sizable part of that currently being used for grazing of livestock.

PROSPECTIVE GENERAL DEMAND CONDITIONS
FOR THE WINTER OF 1958-59

Economic activity declined from August 1957 to April 1958 but has recovered in recent months.
Output0 employment and consumer incomes are expected to rise further through the winter of 1958-59.
Demand for food in general has been well maintained with food store sales so far this year 64 per-
cent above a year ago. Consumer incomes have once again attained a new high and the upward trend
suggests a continued good market for food in coming months.

Private business investment, the major area of weakness during the past year, is expected to
improve some as the rate of inventory liquidation slackens and production increases. New construc-
tion is being maintained at close to record levels as the rise in new home building continues.
Federal Government spending for defense and other programs is scheduled to rise through the winter
and spring of 1959. The uptrend in State and local Government spending also is expected to con-
tinue.

New plant and equipment spending by businessmen dropped about a fifth between the summer of
1957 and 1958. According to the recent survey of the Department of Commerce and Securities and
Exchange Commission the year-long decline in capital spending leveled out in the second and third
quarters of 1958 and is scheduled to increase a little in the final quarter.

Inventory policies of businessmen changed from modest accumulation in the third quarter of
1957 to rapid liquidation in the first and second quarters of 1958. Most of the reduction was
concentrated in durables at both manufacturing and trade levels. In recent months the rate of
inventory liquidation eased. If final demand increases as expected in coming months, the rate
of liquidation is likely to slacken substantially through the winter of 1958-59.

Private construction activity declined moderately between the peak reached in the fourth
quarter of 1957 and the second quarter of 1958. In recent months, with stimulation by new housing
legislation and generally easier credit conditions, outlays for private nonfarm homes rose 13 per-
cent0 Present indications are that residential construction is likely to continue strong through
next winter.

Consumer income and buying has been well maintained Consumption expenditures in April-June
1958 were the same as July-September 1957, but purchases of durable goods declined sharply, while
nondurable goods and services increased. Consumer incomes declined only a little, due mainly to
rising social security, unemployment benefit, and other transfer payments which offset a large
part of the decline in wages and salaries. After taking account of the higher price level and in-
creasing population, consumer income per person, after taxes, was down 4 percent over the past
year With further improvement in economic activity likely through next winter, consumer incomes
are expected to rise.

The value of agricultural exports declined about 16 percent in fiscal year 1957-58, but they
were the third highest on record, Based upon preliminary indications, total agricultural exports
are likely to continue at close to current levels for the remainder of this calendar year.

a/ Estimated. We have a record of truck shipments of field peas, greens and radishes. We have a record of avocado and mango truck ship-
ment volume, and also of avocado production. The 1954 census gives us some bench work data on the above as well as information for
the first time on miscellaneous fruit such as bananas, coconuts, figs, grapes, guavas, kumquats, papayas, pears, persimmons, plums
and prunes.
b/ Spring pickles for processing.
o/ Avocado data based on 1958 season. Due to the quantity of Cuban avocados consumed in Florida, certain adjustments were made to the
West Indies import data which do not reflect in the State avocados total oarlot figure.

COLD WEATHER IN FLORIDA

Located in the southern latitudes with the Atlantic to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west,
Peninsular Florida's climate may be considered semi-tropicalo The coldest air, which hriigs critical
temperatures, enters the State from the north and northwest0 The air flow from other directions is gen-
erally over the water and is greatly modified

Cold weather is brought to Florida generally by one of three types of synoptic situations The first
is the cold air mass or HIGH pressure system, that moves from the Polar Regions southeastward across e
continent, entering Florida from the north or northwest This type may or may not bring critical temper-
atures to the entire state, The distance the cold air penetrates southward into the state depends entirely
on the location and movement of the HIGH pressure cell and the Strength of its circulation For instance,
if the center of the HIGH passes far enough to the north of the State, there will be a rapid shift of the
wind or flow to the northeast or east behind the "oold front* or leading edge of the cold airo This flow
of air, having had a trajectory over the Atlantic will have had a temperature modification and its moisture
increased, keeping the temperature above the critical point over the entire state, However, if the move-
ment is far enough south so the the center passes over the state, the flew will remain north and northwest
and result, generally in critical cold weather over the entire peninsula A movement between these two
extremes will result in cold weather penetrating only part Way -down the peninsula depending on just how
far south the HIGH pressure center moves, These cases assume that there is a strong circulation associated
with the HIGHo With a very wesk circulation, the cold air may penetrate only part way even though the
HIGH moves rather.far south. The most dangerous situation associated with this type is when'a LOW pres-
sure wave develops on the cold front It may form in the Gulf and pase across the state or it may. form
off the coast of Florida, Gesfrgia or the Carolinaso The circulation &round this wave greatly intehsifies
the flow of cold air already pushing into the state from the HIGH preasgsre cell, Some of Florida's
severest freezes have resulted from this type of situation

The second type is one in which the HIGH pressure cell moves from the Pacific across the far South-
west, Texas, and the Gulf States or even across the Gulf of Mexico, The movement of this type is usually
far enough south for the cold air to penetrate part way and quite frequently, the entire length of the
state.

The third type is not as common as the other twoo It occurs when the HIGH is pushed southward by a
LOW which te-ns to pass along the north edge of it without opening a trough in the HIGH, The HIGH then
stagnates over Florida Keeping its cool, dry characteristics,

Each of the three types of synoptic situations discussed above bring cold air into Florida by
advection, which simply means the transport of cold air from its source regions, slightly modified ty
transport southward, After the cold air moves into the state, the coldness is usually intensified by
radiation. While it is being imported, however, factors such as cloudiness, soil moisture and s6il type,
have little effect upon the recorded temperature

The wind, associated with advective cooling, with a slight warming effect and by constantly mixing
of the lower layers of the air, will tend to keep temperatures from dropping as low as they would if
radiation were to occur, and also will prevent the formation of frost However, if the air mass has tem-
peratures freezing or below, freeze damage will occur, although the wind will prevent the form;nion of
frost

During the day tha9 sun radiates heat which is absorbed by the earth, however, at night thl process
reverses itself and the earth radiates heat outward into the atmosphere. This process of outgoing radia-
tion greatly intensifies the coldness of the air near the ground afterit has moved into the statp, TQ
have maximum cooling by radiation, the toll wing conditions must be presents

1o A clear sky, since this favors heat radiation outward,
2o Dry air, since water vapor increases return radiation from the atmosphere,
3. No wind, since this leaves the temperature stratification undisturbed with the coldest air at
the surface
40 Poor conductivity of the soil, which lessens the conduction of heat from underground to the s'3W
faoe, thereby reducing the temperature drop of the surface,
5, Strong evaporation, since heat is lost during this process
60 Lack of natural ar artificial radiation shields such as shrubs, trees, sheds, slats, or other
artificial covering,

When the above conditions exist, the surface of the earth or any exposed flat surface loses heat
rapidly by radiation and becomes colder than the air surrounding it, The air next to the surface is co'.
by conduction, but the cooling decreases with height, thus is set up a condition that is inverse to the
normal decreases in temperature with height and is referred to as a temperature inversion

CHARACTER OF THE 1957-58 SEASON'S WEATHER IN FLORIDA

The combination of frequent frosts and freezes, excessive rainfall, high winds and prolonged cold
made this past winter season one of the most disastrous growing seasons of this century for such crops
as vegetables, ornamentals, cut flowers, strawberries and other tender plants and also pasture grasses.
Citrus suffered considerable damage due to the severe cold. However, freezes of other seasons during
this century and the latter part of 1800 caused greater percentage of loss of fruit and trees.

Cold and wet weather with occasionally strong winds, from December through February and cool, wet
weather in March was the adverse weather picture. The average temperature for December 1957, January
and February 1958 was the coldest ever recorded in Florida for any three consecutive months. Lower
minimum temperatures, however, have been recorded in previous seasons.

A cold Arctic "HIGH" moved rapidly into Florida on December 11, with a strong, cold wind dropping
temperatures by the morning of December 12 to the low 20s on high and low ground locations in north and
central districts, mid-20s to the low 30s in the Everglades and slightly below freezing on the Lower
East Coast. Temperatures, except on high ground locations, were generally a few degress lower on the
clear, near calm night of December 12-13, with long durations of critical readings. Temperatures in
many areas reached freezing shortly after sunset. Temperatures moderated somewhat by the morning of
the 14th, with readings in north and central districts near critical levels. Temperatures from Dec-
ember 17 to the end of the month were generally above normal, except for scattered frost in the north-
ern areas on the 21st, 22nd, and 27th.

January was a very cold month with frequent days with frost and freezing temperatures. The cold-
est period was from the 9th through the llth, with readings generally 200 to 270 in low ground locations
of the north and central districts, 260 to 340 in the Everglades, and only slightly below freezing in
the colder places in the Lower East Coast farming areas.

Bitter cold weather continued during the month of February, except for the last five days. At
most stations the average temperature for February was the lowest of record. The freeze of the 4th
and 5th was the most severe. Frost and freezing temperatures was a nightly occurrence from the 8th
through the 23rd, with the 14th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st, experiencing minimums in the low
and mid-20's in north and central Florida, 260 to 350 in southern districts, except generally above
360 on the Lower East Coast after the 2Oth. Temperatures during March were near normal.

It was not enough for growers, cattlemen, and the general public to contend with the cold, but
excessive rains and high winds throughout the winter plagued them. Heavy rains from the 23rd through
the 25th of December of from three to nine inches, caused flooding of fields in southern counties.
On January 2, high winds (up to 70 M.P.H.) and heavy rains extended over the Lower East Coast area,
while the winds and rains in other southern areas were only slightly less severe. Rain fell frequently
during the remainder of January, and quite frequently during February and March, with flooding rains
in most areas of the peninsula in early March.

THE OUTLOOK FOR FARM LABOR, 1958-59

It is estimated that planted and harvested acreage of vegetables will slightly exceed experience
for the 1956-57 season, with increases in yield for all crops expected. In citrus, production should
approximate experience for the 1957-58 season. There will be no material changes in sugar cane and
tropical fruit production over the last several.years' average.

In keeping with the above production, it appears that some 90,000 farm workers will be required
in Florida agriculture during the 1958-59 season with sharp peak needs during harvest seasons in
vegetable and citrus.

It is felt that trend of movement of Florida workers from agriculture to industry has been
temporarily halted with no decrease in such labor supply predicted for the 1958-59 season. In addi-
tion, it appears that more domestic workers will be available for Florida harvest work in Florida from
southeastern supply states due to continued decrease in cotton acreage in these supply states. Farm
housing facilities increased somewhat during the 1957-58 season, but additional housing for out-of-
state workers continues to be needed. It is virtually certain that supplemental contract labor from
the British West Indies and the Bahamas will be needed, possibly in numbers somewhat smaller than last
year's experience.

There will continue to be a necessity for complete utilization of all types of agricultural labor
if there are to be no crop losses due to manpower shortages

FARM CREDIT IN FLORIDA

Farm credit has become one of the more functional necessities of agriculture as the off-the-farm
needs have increased. This informative tabulation of the farm credit picture, by the Agricultural
Commission of the American Bankers Association, New York, N.Y., is indicative of the Florida farmers'
increasing need for money. The datum shown is in two tables because of the different types of
information tabulated over a period of time.

etc.

Citrus, during the last ten years, has been both an important processed and fresh product.
There has been a need for tabulation of orange, grapefruit and tangerine values in respect to money
value at the packed out level F.O.B. shipping point, which covers the product (fresh market and
processed) ready for shipment. It is our hope that this table more effectively indicates the mag-
nitude of the Florida citrus industry.

It should be noted that the sums expressed are not those recognized for calculating farm values
but include the manufacturing and packing costs of the citrus crop, freight on board, ready for ship-
ment. In some instances, complete per unit price datum was not available, and therefore it is
suggested that the information be used for general comparison purposes only.

NOTES Truck rates fluctuate according to the supply and demand of trucks. Rates are generally stable
at the lowest per box rate shown, however, during periods of truck shortages rates will tend slightly
higher, snoe a rate range is shown to cover the variance during truck shortages, Following the
freeze of December 12 & 13, 1957 when shipments were scarce, there was an excess of trucks, and some
truckers included ice at the prevailing rate, which resulted in even lower charges than those shown.
Truck Refrigeration- Most trucks are equipped with ice bunkers with capacity of 1800 to 2000 pounds,
As a rule, however, ice is only used on the first and last season shipments, Truck Refrigeration rates
to points East of the Mississippi and South of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers 50 per box, while to points
beyond it is 74 per box. Refrigeration charges in the summer, generally beginning in late June, will
tend up to 100 per box to points n'rth of the Potomac River.

The greatest quantity of Chinese cabbage moves to the terminal markets in mixed rail carlots. If
a mixed oar breakdown on the terminal were available, the Cleveland market for example9 would be of
greater significance as a receiver of Chinese cabbage.

o Notes Total figures includes occasional carlet unloais for earlier and later month than shown,

FIELD PEAS
This item is marketed principally in the South. The table of Truck Destinations in this book will
aid in the further study of distribution. Fiela peas are transported to the market primarily by trucks.
Therefore truck shipments represent a very high percentage of the volume shipped out of Florida. In
recent years there has been some marketed through frozen food channels. Fresh field peas in Jaoksonville
have been marketed fresh by sellers in an increased volume during recent years,
