—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Feb. 15, 1975 56 Wheat This year's wheat market is characterized by con* Untied strong export demand and a pullback in domestic demand. It now appears that exports will total 1.1 billion bushels, not much below the record of 1972*73, and year ending stocks arc expected to hold near last year's low level. But with a .more or derly export scene; the experience last year of operating with minimum stocks, and a free-flowing transportation system, the market has been far less volatile than last year. The reported cancellation in some export sales and the modification of the voluntary export reporting system do not appear to give a reason for changing the export estimate. Wheat disappearance during July-December 1974 at 942 million bushels was one of the heaviest on record, although restrained com pared to last year’s torrid rate. A sharp falloff in wheat feeding and a steadier pace of exports both contributed to the decline from last year. As a result, prices paid to farmers were less volatile and the transportation system was under less stress. But what about the second half of the marketing year’ The January 1 stocks of 1.1 billion bushels must satisfy demand until new crop wheat becomes readily available. The export pace is expected to continue heavy.

Seed and feed requirements will ac count for around 5 percent of the total. The remaining 20 percent or 250 million bushels will be this sum mer’s old crop stocks. Early indications suggest that U.S. wheat farmers may be setting the stage for the third consecutive record wheat harvest. Winter wheat producers, responding to strong prices and an open ended wheat program, in creased plantings 6 percent. In just 2 years, acreage is up over a fourth and the largest since 1953. Based on December conditions, which were generally good, a record 1.6 billion bushel winter wheat crop could result. Last spring, adverse weather and an uncertain price outlook discouraged spring wheat producers from completely fulfilling their planting intentions. This year they appear to be holding down intentions as the January report indicated a slightly smaller spring wheat acreage. The larger total wheat acreage and average weather could produce a 1975 crop of more than 2 billion bushels. But what about demand 9 With world grain stocks shrinking further, export demand for wheat in 1975-76 is again expected to be heavy. Tight feed grain supplies this summer could push up wheat feedmg and 10:30 A.M. TRACTORS: SALE BY result in total domestic use of over 800 million bushels. But even with a record demand, there would be some stock cushion. Should yields falter again, however, stronger prices and shorter supplies would cut wheat feeding and limit exports. Hard Red Winter After a fairly quiet first 6 months, HRW exports will finish with a rush. By this summer over 60 percent of the January 1 stocks of roughly 550 million bushels could be exported. Feed use of HRW has slipped noticeably, but mill grind has picked up in response to the current high spring wheat prices. The strong demand is expected to prevent any rebuilding of HRW stocks this year. Farmers seeded 7 percent more acreage to HRW this past fall and if favorable weather holds, the 1975 crop could be 10 to 15 percent above last year’s weather reduced outturn. Soft Red Winter The expansion m the 1974 SRW crop has been matched by a surge in export demand. Exports zoomed, pushing total disappearance for July- December near 200 million bushels, nearly doubled the year-ago level. Demand for January stocks of over 100 million bushels should continue strong during the second half. However, this would still leave stocks by this summer somewhat PUBLIC AUCTION FARM EQUIPMENT - FEEDER CATTLE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24,1975 AT 12:00 NOON Location Between Ephrata and Lancaster along Route 222 at Browntown From Brownstown go east toward Farmersvdle Between Brownstown and Farmersville along West Farmersvdle Road, R 0 1, Leola, West Earl Township, Lancaster County, Pa' FARMALL 350 with Torque Amplifier INTERNATIONAL 424 DIESEL with Power Steering, Front and Rear Weights and 3- Point Hookup; New Holland Hayliner 68 Baler; In ternational 1 P.R.

SRW producers continues to view sheat as a profitable part of their cropping operations as they indicated another sizable acreage increase this past fall. With help from the weather, the 1975 crop could easily top 300 million bushels. Hard Red Spring After 2 exceptionally heavy years, domestic milling of HRS has slowed this year. A smaller supply and high prices have reduced the attractiveness of HRS. With higher protein wheats commanding a substantial premium, there has been a tendency to blend less HRS with lower protein winters. Export demand has been good, aided in part by the poor quality crop in Canada, our chief com petitor in the world’s protein wheat market. HRS wheat stocks this summer could slip some from the 68 million bushels of a year ago. Farmers’ planting intentions as of January 1 show slightly less HRS acreage for 1975. Durum With durum prices running well over hard wheats, the demand for durum has slowed. The pace of durum exports has slackened and durum mill grind is down this marketing year. Mill grind appears to be running about 10 percent behind the July-December 1973 rate. For the second 6 months, mill grind may continue at that subdued pace. Seed use should expand slightly and additional export sales may push the total for the year to Storing Canned Goods How you store your home canned foods will determine their keeping and eating quality, reminds Louise Hamilton, Extension foods and nutrition specialist at The Pennsylvania State University. Before storing jars, check to sec that they are properly sealed. If the jar hasn’t sealed properly, recan the vegetables or make the around 35 million bushels. High durum prices, par ticularly in relation to HRS, were probably the basis for the indicated 10 percent increase in 1975 plantings. White wheat Demand for white wheat was strong during the July- December period, but is expected to slow noticeably during the second half. Export demand has been good, with a larger than usual share being eastern white wheat. Outstanding export sales at midyear, at around 45 million bushels, are only around half the hoped-for sales. But a pickup is expected and with normal second half domestic use, stocks this summer should total around 20 million bushels. Dry weather hin dered wheat seedmgs in the Pacific Northwest.

Check your stored foods periodically for possible spoilage. Store home-canned foods in a cool, dry, dark place where they will not freeze. If you have used a two-piece cap, remove the metal band before storing the jar. Watch out for dampness. Moisture may corrode a metal lid and eventually cause the jar to leak. Avoid storage areas which might become too warm, such as high cupboards in a kitchen or an unventilated arfca in a basement. Bacteria which were not destroyed in the canning process may grow in warm temperatures and cause spoilage. If canned food has been frozen, the food may be "mushy” but it still is safe to eat if the seal is unbroken. If a seal is broken, however, food will spoil unless it is refrigerated and used within a few days after the seal breaks. It also can be recanned or refrozen.
