According to the North Carolina Crop Reporting Service, both acreage for harvest and pros pective yields per acre are some what below last year’ levels. Pro duction of burley tobacco is expect ed to total 18,130,000 pounds—on ly slightly below the 18,620,000 pounds produced last year. This year’s estimate of 581,000 acres of flue-cured tobacco for har vest is eleven per cent below the 653,000 acres harvested last year. Flue-cured yield is forecast at 1, 349 pounds, compared with the rec ord high yield of 1,499 pounds har vested last year. A succession of spring freezes greatly retarded growth of tobacco in plant beds and delayed trans planting to fields. After plants were set to the fields, recurring cool weather and lack of adequate iaiinan cuiiuiiut-u to Hamper to bacco growth so that it made little progress before the last of May. Rains in early June were benefic ial, but by mid-June dry soils and high temperatures were stunting plant growth. Size of plants in relation to age was unusually small on July 1 and much of the earliest maturing crop was “buttoning out” before stalks had produced the desired number of leaves. Rains fell throughout the flue cured area during the past week and the condition of the crop im proved over that which existed on July 1. The yield and production forecast for North Carolina by types, a of July 1, is as follows: Type 11 (Middle and Old Belt): Type 11 production is estimated at 266,725,000 pounds from 227,000 acres for an average yield of 1,175 pounds. This is 67,325,000 pounds or about 20 per cent less than the 1955 crop. The crop is less advan ced in this area than in Types 12 and 13, with much of the crop transplanting and reset during the dry-hot weather the first part oi ty, was a visitor here last week.
