USDA Issues
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has issued results of
a study on “Prices and Con
sumption of Dairy Products with
Price Supports and Milk Or
ders.”
USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service said the study
was made to portray the prices,
price relationships and price
structures that developed under

milk pricing programs, as well as
the reactions of consumers as
measured by milk consumption.
Some important considerations
covered by the study are the
impact, over a period of more
than 20 years, of the milk order
and price support programs on:
—Retail prices of milk and
dairy products relative to other
foods.
—Competition between fluid
milk products and manufactured
products such as nonfat dry milk
and dry milk mixes and the effect
on fluid consumption.

Report on Dairy
Prices and Consumption
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, August 26,1972
—Changes in consumption of
butterfat and solids-no-fat in
various milk products.
—Changes in the margin of the
price for bottling milk over that
of milk for manufacturing.
—Changes in relative price and
value of butterfat and solids-no
fat in milk.
AMS officials said the report
will be helpful to handlers who
process and distribute milk and
dairy products, and to dairy
farmers and their cooperatives,
in understanding the impact of
Pa. Tobacco Crop
Pennsylvania appears headed
for the smallest harvest of
tobacco in 38 years. Estimates by
the Crop Reporting Service on
August 1, indicated that
production this year would be
26,400,000 pounds. The acreage
devoted to tobacco is the lowest in
nearly 100 years.
The decline is not associated
with the cigarette-cancer link as
most of the tobacco grown in the
Commonwealth Pennsylvania
seedleaf or Type No 41 is
utilized in the manufacture of
cigars. In fact, production of all
types of tobacco grown in the U.S.
is being forecast at up 13,000,000
pounds from last year
the price support and milk order
programs on the dairy economy.
The report contains basic in
formation for further study of
how present milk pricing systems
can be improved.
Single copies of “Prices and
Consumption of Dairy Products
with Price Supports and Milk
Orders,” AER 226, may be ob
tained by postcard request from

Department of Agriculture,

Smallest Since '3B
Tobacco growing has been on
the decline in Pennsylvania since
it peaked at 60,000,000 pounds in
1962 Since that time, acreage has
decreased almost annually. This
year’s crop was further
distressed as cold, wet weather
delayed transplanting until the
late June floods stopped all
operations.
Although cigarette con
sumption continues to grow m
spite of the surgeon general’s
warning, cigar smoking appears
to be on the wane even though it
has been given a relatively clean
bill of health
