TOBACCO BREAKS RECORDS

iObaOtO bhEAhS hESOhDS
That the tobacco crop in the United
States in 1918 was a record-breaker
in size is apparent from the official
statistics of the Department of Agri-
culture, estimates being made on pro-
duction from conditions reported in
the different growing sections as Of
December 1st. The figures at hand,
of course, may undergo slight revision
before being passed upon as a final
estimate, but the 1918 tobacco crop is
officially placed at 1,340,019, 900
pounds, which was an increase over
last year of 90,734,0oo pounds, or z
per cent. That the growing season
was an unusually favorable one is in
dicated by the fact that this vast pro-
duction was raised upon an increase
of only 81 200 acres, or per cent
compared with the area set to tobacco
in 1917. AS opposed to the increase
of 2 per cent in the total area there
was an increase of ~ pounds, of {
per cent, in the average yield per acre
