little from last season.'Use of fire cured and cigar
wrapper is steadying, while use of domestic cigar filler
tobacco is declining. Nevertheless, estimated use for
most of these types of tobacco will exceed last year’s
crops, leaving less carryover into 1974-75. Tentative
1974-75 supplies are lower than the previous season
for fire-cured, dark air-cured, cigar filler and wrapper,
but about the same for binder tobaccos.
DRW —An Active Issue for Poultry Feeders
Although the Food and Drug Administration has not
yet announced a decision on the use of dehydrated
poultry waste (DRW) as a feed ingredient, California
has announ9ed proposed standards for use. A recent
USDA report concluded processing and feeding of
dried layer waste is economically feasible for
operations of 50,000 or more caged layers.
A New Jersey publication indicated a 30,000 bird
operation could pay for. the drying equipment needed
in 2-3 years with DRW selling at $125 a ton for fer
tilizer or worth $B5 a ton if fed to chickens. California
producers have successfully used natural drying
methods to reduce moisture below 30 percent in 1-5
days, making it an easy-to-handle fertilizer.

Cooperatives Get a Boost
In a recent issue of the Federal Farm Credit
Newsletter, the editor said that an ever-present
burden ag cooperatives have had to bear is to answer
young farmers who ask what the coops have befcn
doing lately for farming. Recently, the item said, there
have been a number of responses - not the least of
which was to continue selling fertilizer to U.S. farmers,
thus resisting the temptation to sell at higher prices
overseas.
This was pointed up recently by the Chairman of the
Senate Agriculture Committee, Senator Herman
Talmadge, who commended Gold Kist, the supply
coop serving his home state of Georgia, for continuing
to serve farmers’ fertilizer needs while many com-
panies were pulling out of the market and selling at
higher prices overseas.
“What Gold Kist did wasn't an isolated example. It
has been duplicated many times over the past year by
cooperative suppliers of fuel and fertilizers. And it will
continue as long as farmers need production inputs,
and consumers need food," says Kenneth D. Naden,
president of the National Council of Farmer
Cooperatives.
Butz Says Canners Can’t Can Without Cans
Steel company executives were told in a letter from
U.S Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz that canneries,
especially on the West Coast, are going to have
problems unless the steel companies increase sup
plies of tinplate. Butz said that unless more cans are
manufactured, some crops, particularly California’s
ACIIDDDKIIir amount of ash leftover
jUKrKIJiIIU can be used as clean landfill

tomato and fresh peach crops, might be left in the
field.
The can shortage is especially acute in California,
Butz said. Until this year, California canners imported
25 percent of their tinplate from Japan, but this year,
Japan has cut back on these shipments.
Enough cans will probably be available for the
peach crop, which will be put up in the next few
months. But tomato canning will run into the fall, and
this is the crop that would be most seriously affected
by a can shortage.
