petitive world puces, the U S.
Department of Agriculture has
announced

of Duluth/Supeuor. It will be
offered for export prior to
Aug 31, 1970 The action
amends the March CCC Sales
List.
The barley can be exported
to all countries currently eli
gible for U S grain purchases,
except those in the European
Economic Community.
Annual U S exports of bar
ley have dropped from 74.6 mil
lion bushels in 1965-66 to 11 5
million in 1968 69 In the first
BVz months of 1969-70, exports
totalled only 12 million bush
els
Much of this sharp drop,
USD A officials said, has been
caused by highly-subsidized
barley from other exporting
countries being moved into tra
ditional U S overseas markets.
