—Lancaster Farming. Saturday? Ai 46 Grain Purchase Prospects The U. S. Department of Agriculture said the Soviet Union is still expected to purchase sizeable quantities of grain on the world market for delivery in the 1973-74 marketing year starting in July, although in recent weeks there appears to have been an improvement in Soviet grain crop prospects for 1973. The expectation of purchases has been strengthened by recent trade reports from Europe that the Soviets have lately chartered large numbers of third-country vessels suitable for carrying grain. Trade reports indicate that the Soviets recently chartered for use during the next 18 to 20 months enough vessels to cariry an estimated six-million tons of grain annually. This tonnage is in addition to vessels chartered earlier, and does not include grain to be carried on U.S. and Soviet-flag vessels. Last year, the Soviets pur chased 28 million tons of grain from all sources, mostly for delivery in the 1972-73 marketing year. The purchases included about 19 million tons of wheat and nine-million tons of other grains, mainly com and barley. Current crop prospects and shipping information indicate the Soviets may in 1973-74 take about half the total quantities pur chased in 1972-73. Current world grain prices, however, would tend to point to a larger proportion of corn in 1973-74. The Department pointed out that it is still early to make firm forecasts about the 1973 Soviet crop, especially since most of the spring grain is yet to be planted. The Soviets will undoubtedly be reviewing their import needs as the crop progresses.

The Commission and Com mittee, holding successive meetings recently, agreed that the need for a new Farm Show Complex was greater than ever. The old complex, dedicated in 1931, “has seen its day,” Agriculture Secretary Jim McHale told representatives of some 60 farm organizations at the meeting of the Farm Show Committee. Spokesmen for the State Council of Farm Organizations, the State Horticultural Association, the Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers Association and other groups attending the meeting termed 1973 Farm Show “a booming success.” McHale said the record breaking attendance at the 1973 Farm Show points up tfie need “all the more for a modern facility.” OF VALUABLE FARM MACHINERY, ANTIQUES & PERSONAL PROPERTY Saturday, April 28,1973 at 10 A.M.
