THE sHIFTIiG TOBACCO AREA.
Great Difference Made in Forty Years
in the state Crops.

Within forty years there has been
much shifting in the tobacco producing
area of the country, Prior to 1859 Nir-
ginia was the greatest tobacco produc-
ing state, the annual yield being 122,
00O0O0 pounds The present yield Of
Virginia is, approximately, only 10000
900 pounds per annum. Succeeding the
civil war Kentucky took first place in
tobacco and holds it, with an annual
yield of upward of 2250O) 900 pounds.
New Mexico produces the smallest crop
only 1900 pounds Indiana produces
just about as much now as it did in
1888, but Wisconsin has Increased its
output from $1,000 to 20,00O,0OO pounds,
and bids fair to rank among the high
producing states.
Illinois has reduced its crou about
one-half, and Michigan has droT ped
from $4,000 pounds in 1855 to 10000 in
1897. 1t was long believed that tobacco
could not be produced on prairie soils,
but Kansas, which produced only 10000
pounds i'm 1879. now produces, approXi-
mately, 10000 pounds. or more than
throe times the original production. In
North Carolina and Florida there is a
steady increase in the tobacco area.
