Type 41 Tobacco Supply At Lowest
Level In Six Years, USDA Reports
The 1966 supply of Pennsyl
vania Seccilcaf tobacco is the
lowest since 1961. the U.S. De
partment of Agriculture report
ed this week
The Department’s Tobacco
Situation report showed a sup
ply of 169.6 million pounds, in
cluding the 1966 crop of 419
million pounds and Oct. 1
stocks of 127 7 million pounds.
The USDA said the figures for
last year are subject to revi
sion.
Total supplies for previous
years were listed at 180.7 mil
lion pounds for 1965; 184 mil
lion in 1964, 179 8 million in
1963; 182 9 million in 1962, and
168.4 million in 1961. The six
year average is 177.5 million
pounds (See Table Wo 1)
Disappearance rate of Type
41 tobacco for the five-year
period, 1931 to 1965 (1966 rates
not available) averages out to
49.9 million pounds. Usage rate
by years includes 1961, 45 5
million pounds, 1962. 52.0 mil
lion; 1963, 44 7 million; 1964,
64.6 million, and 1965, 53.0 mil
lion pounds
According to March 1 inten
tions, the 1967 acreage of 23,-
000 acres would be eight per
cent below the 25,000 acres har
vested last year But based on
an average yield adjusted for
trend, 1967 production could
approximate 42 5 million
pounds, about one half million
pounds more than last year,
when yields probably averaged
the lowest in nine years
The 1966-67 supply of Ohio
filler is the lowest on record
and slightly below 1965-66 The
prospective 196 7 acreage is
down 12 percent fi om last year
Allowing for trend in yields,
this year’s trap might approxi
mate 5 25 million pounds, about
750,000 pounds less than 1966

The January 1. 1966. stocks
of Puerto Rican tobacco on
the island ami in the U. S.
totaled 48 25 million pounds,
down 14 percent from a year
earlier when they were the
highest for the date since 1948.
If the crop planted in late
>966 for harvest in early 1967
is near the quota level set by
the Puerto Rican government,
production Cor the second year
in a row would be less than
one-half the average annual
harvest in the 1961-64 peiiod.
In 1966, about 45 mi 11 1 o n
pounds of foreign cigar tobac
cos arrived in the United States,
almost 40 million pounds less
than in 196 b and 65 million less
than in the pievious year.
