FIGURES GIVEN ON
 TOBACCO INDUSTRY

Washington September 5.-(Special) A bulletin by the department of com merce is being cited by reformers who have banded themselves together to prevent the growing of tobacco. as req son for its plan to renew it's former activity on an increased scale imme- diately prior to the beginning of the December session of Congress.
 That cigar, and cigarette smoking is on the increase is proved by official figures. It is demonstrated that where as the exportation this year of the 1919 tobacco crop exceeded exportation for any previous year, home consump- tion was greater. Especially does the cigarette habit grow, although there is no appreciable diminution of the snuff-dipping and tobacco chewing habits.
 The Anti-Tobacco League will follow the tactics of the Anti-Saloon League and demand an amendment to the con stitution. It will attempt to prove that cigarettes cause more insanity than whisky ever caused.
 The bulletin contains statistics which may be surprising to those not fully conversant with the industry. In 1919, according to the bureau of crop esti- mates, there were 1901, 200 acres plant ed in tobacco, while the production from the crop of 1918 amounted to 1.439 OH, 900 pounds. There were inn ported during 1919 leaf tobacco and tobacco products to the value of $S6, 4S5,035. while the exports of leaf to- bacco were valued at more than $250. 000,000. The combined production of cigars in registered factories and in bonded manufacturing warehouses was 7,629, ,000,0 000 of cigarettes approxi- mately 100000, 900, and of chewing and smoking tobacco and snuff, 427,- 000 900 pounds. There were 16,211,- 769,00Os cigarettes exported during the year. leaving 39000 000 900 factory made cigarettes for consumption in the United States, The exports of leaf to- bacco during 1919 amount to 765, 913, 1894 pounds, greatly exceeding those for any prior year. The revenue collected during the year amounted to $205, ,00O,- 900. Of this total North Carolina con- tributed $67,14o,00O, New York s34,- 596,0o0, Virginia s12,664,000, Pennsyl- vania $12,012,000, Missouri $10,S68, 000, Ohio $10.s59, 900. and New Jersey s10.- 226,000.
