Tobacco Exported
To Ninety-Three
Different Nations
Exports East Year Valued
Kijudit At A Quarter
Billion Dollars
Tobacco grown in the United
States is an important export
commodity and goes to many dif
ferent parts of the world.
During HIM) our leaf wont to
i 93 different countries, adjacent
provinces, territories, and islands,
Abi ut two-thirds of these coun
tries got more than one kind of
tobacco. However, flue-cured is
the predominant export tobacco!
and, in leaf form went to 70 dif
ferent countries.
In addition to leaf tobacco a
substantial quantity of our to
barco is shipped abroad in the
form of cigarettes, which last

in unuco states tooaeco
expo: Is amounted to about 585
million pounds (farm sales
w hi)- equivalent to nearly 30
percent of the crop grown in 1950.
A little more than nine-tenths
of our exports was shipped as
leaf and most of the remainder
as cigarettes. About 3 or 4 mil
lion pounds of smoking and chew
ing tobacco were exported but
cigar exports were insignificant.
The unmanufactured tobacco
shipped in 1950 was valued at
about one-quarter of a billion dol
lars and ranked next to cotton
and grain in importance. The val
ue of United States exports of
manufactured tobacco products in
1950 was nearly an additional 48
million dollars, with cigarettes ac
counting for 94 percent of the to
tal.
Flue-cured tobacco exported in
1950 both as leaf and in cigarettes
is estimated at about 465 million
pounds (farm sales weight) and
accounted for four fifths of total
tobacco exports. Burley exported
both as leaf and in cigarettes is
estimated at about 60 million
pounds a iltle more loan 10
percent o the total Fire-cured
ranked next accounting for about
6 per cent while the remaining 4
percent was split in roughly equal
shares among the Maryland, Dark
air-cured and cigar types.
Although our tobacco goes to
many different countries, about
three-fourths of the leaf and prod
ucts combined went to continental
Europe, the United Kingdom, and
Ireland. About one eighth went to
Asia, 5 percent to Australia and
New Zealand and about 4 per
cent each to Latin America and
(All lea. The United Kingdom and
Ireland tic-counted for a little
more than 3U per cent of the total
and this was practically all leaf
tobacco.
About 9a percent ot the United
States tobacco going to Continental
Europe, went as leal and the rest
was mostly cigarettes. Of the to
tal going to Asia 85 percent, as
cigarettes. Nearly all of the Unit
ed States tobacco going to Aus
tralia and New Zealand was leaf
but around 1 million pounds of
manufactured chewing tobacco
was shipped to Australia. United
States tobacco going to Africa is
split about 75 per cent unmanu
factured and 25 percent in the
form of cigarettes. A substantial
portion of the unmanufactured
tobacco going to Africa is in a
semiprocessed form known as
Black Fat. This is mostly dark-air
cured leaf which is dipped or
steamed, treated with some min
eral fat and subjected to pressure.
About three-fifths of the United
States tobacco going to Latin
America is in manufactured form.
Approximately 50 percent goes as
cigarettes and 40 percent as leaf,
while the remaining 10 percent
was mostly manufactured sniok

United States tobacco has been

| Economic Recovery Program for
11 hs countries of Western Europe
lit the X I 4 years ending June 30,
1951. the purchases of about 440
million dollars wortTi of United
States tobacco were approved by
EC A Its importance as a con
sumption item of the peoples of
Western Europe and its role in the
collection of govt rnment revenues
wen reeogiozed. The evils arising
from black markets, which thrive
on scarcities of tobacco, were re

several countries prevented en

United States tobacco exports
during 1951 are expected to be
larger than in 1950.

County Agent

j an Agricultural Foundation Pro
gram putting 5 cents a ton on fer
tilizer and feeds.
Jn our breeding program we
need a little more assistance than
the State can give us at present
Tobacco; As you know we have
Dixie 101 and 102 and Oxford 1.
They have be n developed as
Bi.a k oi-iimk and resis
tant varieties. These are good va
rieties and have saved the tobac
co j:r w-’is millions of dollars hut
they still need some more breeding
work. Dixie 101 and 102 grows
too tall find is somewhat brittle
and easy to bruise. Oxford 1 does
not make quite enough pounds
per acre and of course the leaves
in the above varieties are not
broad enough, especially in some
years.
Coin: We have our hybrids N.
C. 27 end N. C. 17. They are good
hybrids and have brought up the’
average yield from 18 bushels per
acre to last year of 37 bushels
yield and have done untold!
amount of good in our over-all j
corn production and livestock I
program, but as you know. too. I
The stalks develop a weakness j
alter the corn stalks are dry and
just before harvest time the stalks
break over in the field, and they
are not as resistant to weevils as
we would like to see them, and j
that can be corrected by further!
breeding work.
Peanuts: The peanut has been
for the last five years, consistently
giving low yields and it is hoped
that by the next two or thre«
years, farmers will be able to get
some of the new hybrid seed that
has been developed, and farmers
who want to get good seed will
be able to do so, as in the case
of corn, cotton and tobacco.
Cotton: We need further re
search and testing of poisons that
; have and will be developed later
! on.
i 1'cuJtry: Further development
of the poultry industry in the
| production of eggs and broilers.
Faim Machinery: Further de
velopment of dusters and sprayers
; in order that insect control can be
| better handled in tobacco, eoiton,
ieea r. ' ’'h peanuts and other grops
and could mention quite a nun
bei of other things.
One hundred percent ol this
money will be used for research
to help farm people. The average
farmer will contribute about 30
to 40 cents. No one will contribute
a nickel unless the referendum
is approved by a 2-3 majority vote
on November 3, 1951. It is vol
untary, and anyone who wants his
money back can get it by making
application for it. This money will
supplement State and Federal
funds appropriated for •research.

duction of farm commodities us

ble to vote, regardless of age; that
includes the wives or husbands of
such indivivduals. 4-H and F. F.

Polling places will be set up in
all townships at the regular P. M.

Dream Is Coming
True For Farmer
The dream of a young Negro
farm couple of Wake County is
coming true.
The Russell Judds of Route 1,
Holly Springs, have been tenants
for several years. But they have
made the most of their opportun
ities, saved part of their income,
and “recently were able to buy
a small farm and build a new
home on it.
W. C. Davenport, Negro county
agent in Wake for the State Col
lege Extension Service, says the
i home is built of cement blocks and
has six rooms. It is located on a
dirt road and is of modern design. 1
I When Judd decided to buy a
farm, he found a small one that
he liked, although it didn't have
a dwelling on it. It had a good to
bacco barn and carried a three
acre tobacco alloiment.
To get a dwelling on the place,
the young Wake farmer made ar
rangements to borrow some mon
ey from a bank. He had enough
to start building but had to get
extra funds to complete the job.
The dwelling has now been
completed, and two good crop
seasons have enabled the Judds
to meet their obligations.
County Agent Davenport says
this only one of many examples
of how the Negro farm families
of Wake are making the most of
their opportunities to raise their
nvui standard of living
Big Increase In
Prize Fighl Cash
One of the notable business
booms of this year has occurred
in — of all things — the prize
fight industry. So far this year
some 1,500.000 fight fans*through
out the nation have spent $5,000,
000 on admissions. This is two and
a half times as much as fight fans
laid on the line over the same
period of 1959. Of course, this at
tendance rate is still well below
: the record achieved in both 1946
and 1947, but the bigwigs of box
ing ait cheered by the sport's re
vival from last year's slump—thi
lowest point in its history.
