In two districts alone they are annually raising 2l.000.000 pounds of tobacco, and in third they have set out 200 900 acres of cotton. They have also mulberry plantations. and are now rais- ing cocoon silk by the hundreds of mil lions of pounds. They are planting tea and expect to compete with the Chinese in the Russian markets.
