Winston Salem, N

Wins.on-Sa N. C M1[ 7 INSTON-SALEM is one of the
 WW chief centers of the tobacco
 manufacture of the United States. It make cigarettes by the mill- ions day and ships out trainload of chewing and smoking tobacco every 24 hours. It makes more plug tobacco than any other town in the country, and it pays tobacco taxes to the amount of almost $S,000,000 per annum. Just now the factories are running at their full to supply the extraordinary demands on ac- count of the war, and the same Is true of every tobacco center in the United States.
 But few people realize the extent of our tobacco industry. It brings in to the farmers more actual cash than we get from our gold mines. The crop yields them something like S1O0,0o0,000 year, and the taxes upon it drop into the United States treasury more than S10,0O0 an hour, day and night year in and year out The industry employs about 100000 hands. It pays out in wages $1,00O,000 a day, and the product, including the manufactures thereof, is more than S4000O0,000 per year.
 Our total production of tobacco annu- ally amounts to more than 1,000,0Oo0oO poun0S. We make enough to give lo pounds to every man, woman and child in the United States We produce about two- thirds of all the tobacco used by mankind. Our chief competitors are found in the countries of Europe. Russia grows one-fourth or one-fifth as much as we do, and the product of Austria Hungary and Germany in normal times is in the neighborhood of 100000 pounds which is far less than the amount they consume. It seems strange to speak of tobacco as an element of warfare, but 1t appears to be necessary to the men in the trenches, and those who have contracted the habit of using 1t lose their nerve whom 1t is not supplied. Our exports have greatly increased since the war in Europe began, and this increase will be still greater now that we are sending our own troops to the front
 As 1t is now. our exports of tobacco are moro than 100000 pounds every year, and this includes cigars and cigarettes valued at millions of dollars. We are now making 5000 00.00o cigars every 12

and little more than 50 years later the crop of Virginia and Maryland was worth in the neighborhood of $2,0O0,00O. The use of tobacco became fashionable in all the courts of Europe. It spread rapidly. to Africa and Asia, and today there is hardly a place on this big, round world where the nasty weed is not smoked, chewed or snuffed.
