REVENUE TAX PAID
WHAT IS PAID ON TOBACCO MAN
UFACTuRED IN NORTH
CAROLINA.

Few people outside Of those en-
ployed in collecting internal revenue
taxes have any idea of the vast sums
of money that North Carolina con-
tributes to the treasury each year on
account of the great tobacco industry
of the State. During the fiscal year
ended June 30th, 1895, the total col
lections of taxes from this source were
S1.8Is, 1851. These figures are
slightly below the AMOUNT of taxes ac-
cruing on the entire product Of manu-
featured tobacco of all kinds for the
calendar year ended December 31st,
1894. 1t is necessary to use the figures
for the calendar year for the reason
that the reports of manufactured to-
bacco are not made up by fiscal years.
The last complete report published is
for the year 1884, and the figures used
in this article are made up from that
report.
CONSUMPTION OF RAW MATERIAL.
During the year 1894 there were in
operation in North Carolina 10 facto-
rles for the manufacture of cigars and
cigarettes, and 253 factories for the
manufacture of chewing and smoking
tobacco and snuff. These factories

close examination into the reports of
the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue shows that our
first observation is almost abso-
lutely correct. The growth of the
cigar and smoking tobacco industries
has been steady for ten years; only one
break occurring, and that was in cigar
production in 1893. In that year the
production fell off two millions, but
full recovery was made in 1894. This
close examination of the Commission
er's report shows 1898 to have been the
best year for the cigarette business,
for in that year the number produced
reached nearly nine hundred millions.
The largest production Of chewing to-
bacco was in 1891, when nineteen mil
lion pounds were produced. The aver
age for the last five years have been as
follows: Cigars, millions; cigarettes,
754 millions; smoking tobacco, nearly
so million pounds; and chewing to-
bacco, nearly 1919 million pounds.

Bright tobacco is grown i'm consfa

the universal experience of farmers
has been that it is best adapted to q
certain type of soil which is quito
characteristic and which can be recOg-
nized by an experienced grower where
ever it is seen. The soils adapted to
the production Of the finest grades of
bright tobacco are light sandy Loans

still clay subsOils, provided the clay
does not approach too near the surface
These lands maintain conditions which
are favorable to the production Of q
thin, delicate leaf which takes ON a
beautiful yellow color when properly
cured. A great deal of experiences and
judgment is necessary TO cure the plant
properly, but the operator must have

( are also very uniform
Many samples of bright tobaCes
soils have been collected 10y the United
I States Department of Agriculture
from the following counties in North
/ Carolina. Bumcombe, Durham, Hay
wood, Madison, Davie, Pitt, Granville.
and Nash. These soils to a depth OF
I IS or 20 inches contain on an average
: IS per cent Of sand, 20 per cent Of silt,
while the amount of clay varies from
/ ? to IL per cent in the best grades Of
/ bright tobacco soil
The percentage of clay in the sub
soil appears to determine the value Of
| the bright tobacco lands. The less
clay they contain the brighter the
color and the finer the texture of Of
the tobacco which can be produced bv
by careful curing. At the same time
the yield per acre on these very light
soils is spondingly small, so there
is a limit to the economical production
of the very finest e. ades of tobacco.
1t does not pay to use these very
I lightest soils, as the yield per acre a.
so small.
While the texture Of the soil and the
soil conditions tend to produce a plant
which viii have certain properties IL
properly cured and treated, stin e
requires great care and Judgment
to properly cure the crop, and the cur
ing the fine qualities OF the plant may
be brought out or not, according 60
the skill and judgment of the operator
For this reason it not infreauentlV
happens that the crop from a heavier
soil is better and brings a higher price
than crop from a medium soil, be
cause the one crop was handled with
more skill and Judgment than the
other.
MOISTURE IN SOILS FOR BRIGHTS-
There is also difference in q
number of localities of the amount OF
moisture maintained through the
season in the bright tobacco soils,
This has been found to vary from To
10 per cent. When there is less than
per cent of moisture i'm the soil it is
too dry for the crop, and, on the other
hand, where there is more than 10 per
cent of moisture present, the soil Isl
inclined to be too wet for bright
tobacco.
SOILS ADAPTED TO OTHER TYPES
The dark tobadcos, including the pipe
and export tobaccos, are grown upon
heavier soils, that is upon soils contain
ing more clay and maintaining more
moisture. The heavier shipping to
bacco soils of North Carolina, Virginia,
Tennessee, and Kentucky, contain
from go to 40 per cent Of clay and
maintain during the growing season
from Is to 20 per cent of water. As a
rule the more clay they contain the
more moist the soils are and the darker
and heavier the type of tobacco pro
duced.
There are large areas of land in
North Carolina and the adjacent States
admirably adapted to the production Of
a very fine type of bright tobacco

THE WONDERFUL WEED


THE WONDERFUL WEED
used 81, 1926 pounds Of leaf tobacco
and scraps. g this quantity the cigar
factories used 1o9,067 pounds and the
cigarette factories used 2,494, $50
pounds. The tobacco and snuff fac
tories used 29,0s4,707 pounds Of leaf,
571 ,g2s pounds Of scraps and 1,212,90d
pounds in process. BY tobacco in pro-
cess is meant that which had under
gone some part of the process of man
ufacture at the beginning Of the year,
but which could not properly be re-
ported as manufactured goods.
REVENUE.
These manufactured goods paid to
the United States in internal revenue
taxes 81 .s74, 377.21, distributing among
the various products as follows:
Cigars paid S21, 062.8 49, cigarettes
paid 1858, 565.73; plug tobacco paid
81 ,056, 137.42: fine-cut paid 1882;
smoking tobacco paid Ss424, 80, and
snuff paid $4,O9o.50. Of the entire in
ternal revenue taxes paid by the State
tobacco pays nearly 10 per cent. When
it is REMEMBERED that tobacco pays no
special taxes, but that every dollar of
tobacco tax represents production,
these figures become more significant.
PRODUCTION.
During the year of 1894 there were
produced in the State 100000 cigars
and 737, 81, 470 cigarettes; and during
that time there we're produced 1914
923 pounds Of smoking tobacco and IT.
602. 290 pounds Of plug tobacco; there
were produced about $4,000 pounds of
snuff and very small quantity of fine
cut tobacco.
In the production Of cigarettes North
Carolina ranks third among the States
Of the Union, New York produced more
than twice as many and Virginia
slightly exceeding North Carolina.
Three States, namely, Kentucky, Mis-
souri, and Virginia produce more plug
tobacco; and four States, Illinois,
MARYLAND, Michigan and New York
produce more smoking tobacco. North
Carolina produces more than 10 per
cent of all the plug tobacco IN the Uni-
ted States, nearly 8 per cent OF all the
smoking tobacco and more than ~ per
cent of all the cigarettes.
GROWTH OF THE BUSINESS.
Ihe growth of the tobacco business
(as Il relates to manufactured goods
for ten years, ending December slst,
1894. is the best shown by the following

Since he was seventeen,
Until his whole anatomy
Was soaked with nicotine.
He never once stopped smoking
Except to take chew,
And when he wasn't chewing
The air with smoke was bue.
He bought big plantation,
So well he loved the weed,
And planted every acre
With fine Havana seed.
One day, when very weary,
He laid him down to sleep
Amid the green tobacco, where
The catapillars creep.
They swarmed about and over him
With ceremony scant
And ate him-body, bones and ALL
