TYPE 41 TOBACCO
ACREAGE TO BE
SAME AS 1964
As of March 1, Common
wealth tobacco growers planned
to make no changes in acre
age of Type 41, Pennsylvania
Seedleaf This places indicat
ed acreage for harvest in 1965
at 28,000 acres.
Although acreage harvested
at this level is the same as
last year, it is 2,200 acres (be
low the 5-year aveiage. His
toric records show a record
low of 18,000 acres harvested
in 1934 and a record high of
49,000 acres harvested in 1918.
In the past 10 years acreage
has ranged from a low of 28,-
000 acres to a high of 31,000
acres.
Based on the 1959-68 aver
age yield of 1,800 pounds, a
crop of about 50 million
pounds of Pennsylvania Seed

would be 2 percent more than
the 1964 'crop.

PLAN 3% INCREASE
As of March 1, Common
wealth potato growers intend
ed to increase their total po
tato acreage toy 3 percent
above last year. This places
indicated planted acreage in
1965 at 40,000 acres.
If these intentions are ear
ned out it would mean 1,000
more acres planted this year
than last year and the high
est planted acreage since 1961.
The smallest acreage planted
was 36,000 an 1963. The rec
ord high was 308,000 acres in
1917.
Based on the 1959-63 aver
age yield of 193 hundred
weight, production would toe
7.7 million hundredweight.
This would be 1 percent above
the 5-year average, and 13
percent above last year’s crop.

Up 7 Percent
Reported intentions of
growers indicated plantings of
late summer and fall potatoes
in 1965 will total 1,196,699
a'cies 7 percent more than
in 1964. An Increase is ex
pected in 22 of the 33 states
producing late summer and/or
fall potatoes. The 11 states
which expect plantings to he
the same or less than 1964
have relatively small 1 acreages
and account for only 5 pe •-
cent of the total late summer
and fall acreage.
Based on an average yield
per acre with an allowance
for trend, production of po
tatoes from the indicated acis
age of late summer and fall
potatoes would be 237 million
hundredweight, 17 percent
more than 1964 and 5 percent
more than 1963.
The (acreage planted . toe
winter harvest totaled 19,403
acres. 5 percent more than a
year earlier. There were 35,-
000 acres planted for early
