increase about 5 percent over
1972.
The supply of U.S. flue-cured
tobacco continues to decline. This
leading kind of tobacco for
cigarettes and exports is
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 7,1972
estimated at 2.92 billion pounds,
down 4 percent from last year.
The 1972 crop is indicated at
1.01 billion pounds, down 6 per
cent. Carryover into the current
season was down 3 percent.
During the past marketing
year exports declined a tenth
while domestic use rose 4 per
cent; the overall decline was 3
percent. Little change is ex
pected this season; use should
exceed marketings, so the
carryover next July 1 is expected
to decline.
Farmers had marketed about
60 percent of the 1972 flue-cured
tobacco crop by September 15.

How to fertilize if next
Spring is another wet one.
Its easy Do it all this Fall
with unique Unipel 20-10-10
Last Spring practically set a record for late planting
ip many areas. And it could happen here next year,
too. But with fall plowing plus Unipel 20-10-10 you
can reduce the worry and costly delay.
Unipel 20-10-10 is the unique complete high-nitrogen
fertilizer. Plow it down this Fall and give plants a
faster stronger start next Spring. It is even formulated
for steady nutrient release, so plants have a continu
ous source of NPK available throughout the growing
season.
You can do it all in the Fall. We’ll be around soon
with the whole story.

Gross sales were 6 percent below
the comparable period of 1971.
Through that date, prices were
at record levels, averaging 12
percent above a year earlier.
Farmers placed only Va percent
of marketings under government
loan, compared with 4 percent in
the comparable period of 1971.
Low loan placements plus heavy
sales from loan stocks have
reduced uncommitted CCC
stocks to the lowest level in a
decade.
The U.S. hurley tobacco supply
nay total about 0.3 percent below
a year earlier and 11 percent
below the 1964-65 record.
Currently, supply represents
about 3Va year’s use.
The crop is a fifth larger than
last year’s weather-reduced
crop. Acreage is up and yield
prospects are improved from last
year’s 6-year low. Carryover
from 1971-72 is estimated down 7
percent. Disappearance probably
gained 2 percent during the 1971-
72 crop year (October-
September).
Combinations of reduced
carryover and generally lower
1972 production will shrink 1972-
73 supplies of dark air-cured,
Maryland, cigar filler, and cigar
wrapper. Fire-cured supplies
remain about the same. Cigar
binder supplies are slightly
larger.
