A moderate increase in domestic
consumption ol American tobacco in
1940. with a substantial reduction in
the export market, was uidicated re
cently by the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics in its annual outlook re
port on tobacco
Production of American tobacco in
1939 reached a new high of 1,654.200.
000 pounds. The total supply on hand.
3 795.500.000 pounds, also was the
largest on record.
Flue-cured tobacco comprises 1
958.500.000 of these 3,795.000 pounds
on hand. Domestic consumption of
this type is expected to increase
somewhat but a sharp drop
ports in 1940 was forecast.
Supplies of flue-cured and Burley.
which normally make up more than
75 percent of the American tobacco
production, are the largest on record,
and excess of 1939 production over
prospective disappearance will result
in burdensome stocks in 1940,? -the^
Bureau stated
For most other types tin 1939 pro
duction is fairly well in line with the
expected disappearance in 1940. and
stocks a year hence are not expected
to be excessive in relation to consum
ption ?

control program in 1940 will go a long
way toward correcting the unballanc
ed situation In flue-cured tobacco."
Export* m 1940 may he greatly re
duced because of the war In Europe,
the Bureau said, but foreign con
sumption of American tobacco may
be mauitained at about the 1939 le
vel by withdrawals from slocks of
American leal abroad
The 1939 flue-cured crop exceeded
the annual disappearance of recent
years by more than 200,000.000
pounds, and as a result, domestic
stocks a year lienoe will be materially
larger than at present. Qrowers hive
voted In favor of the marketing pro
gram. however, and. If yields or the
1940 acreage are average, production
would total about 660.000.000 pounds
The 1939 production was 1.012.200.000
pounds
Stinks of flre-cured tobacco are low
but are adequate for the present rate
of disappearance, the Bureau said
Exports are at a low level and are
likely to be further reduced by the
war Production of dark air-cured to
bacco has been closely in line with
disappearance and stocks do not ap
pear excessive.
Supplies of Bur ley tobacco are ab
normally large and are expected to
result In further increased stocks by
October 1, 1940 A moderate increase
in the domestic consumption may be
expected during the next year because
of expanding cigarette consumption.
Exports of burley are relatively un
tnpnrfant
Tlie outlook is for some increase in
the domestic consumption of Mary
land tobacco in cigarettes and short
filler cigars, but some decrease in ex
ports The net result may be a slight
decrease in total disappearance
Cigar consumption is tending up
ward as a result nf improving hind,
ness conditions and this trend is like
ly to contlnut at lease into 1940, the
Bureau nuld Prowpeetive disappear
ance of cigar types in 1940 would be
met by an acreage in 1940 about equal
to that of 1939.
Roosevelt Message
To Congress Holds
Hope For Farmers
(Continued from page one)
this nation still believe that such
choice should be predicated on cer
~tam freedoms which we XlitTTR are"
essential everywhere. We know that
we ourselves will never be wholly
safe at home unless other govern
ments recognize such freedoms.
The trade agreements act should
be extended as an indispensable
part of the foundation of any stable
and durable peace.
Even as though these trade agree- j
pmcnts we prepare to cooperate irt a'
world that wants pace, we must
I likewise be prepared to take care of
ourselves if the world, cannot at
tain peace.
In the light of continuing world
I uncertainty. I am asking the Con
gress for Army and Navy increases
which are based not on panic but on
common sense.
The only important increase in
any part of the budget is the esti
I mate for national defense. Practical
ly all other important items show a
reduction ... I am asking the Con
gress to levy sufficient additional
taxes to meet the emergency spend
ing for national defense.
^Phc fact of unemployment of mil -
lions of men and women remains a
symptom of a number of difficul
ties in our economic system not yet
adjusted.
May the year 1940 be pointed to
by our children as another period
when democracy justified its exist
ence as the best instrument of gov
ernment yet devised by mankind.
