TOBACCO IN INDIANA
WORTH $3,325,OOO
BY GEORGE c. BRYANT
written for the United Press,

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 2S.-Tobacco
is one Of the most important OF the
minor crops produced in some of the
southern counties of the state.
In Clark, Dearborn, Floyd, Franklin,
Harrison, Jefferson, Jennings, Ohio,
Ripley and Switzerland counties the
bulk of the burly type of tobaccos is
grown and in Crawford Dubois, Greene,
Perry, Pike, Spencer and Warrick
counties the main part of the one suck
er type of tobacco is produced, while
in Randolph county a small amount OF
cigar type tobacco is grown.
A few other counties produce a
small amount of tobacco, but it is more
for home use than for the trade.
The burly and one sucker type are
used in the manufacture of chewing to
baccos and for snuffs Some cigarettes
are also manufactured from the burly
type.
Much of the one sucker type is ex
ported to Europe and Africa in a par
TALLY manufactured state, when quite
heavy demand exists for it.
OF the tobaccos harvested during the
hurley type on which were produced
past year, 1000 acres were of the
1855, 900 pounds; $500 acres were Of
the one sucker type, on which were
produced 6,425,000 pounds, and 100000
pounds of the cigar type were produced
on about 500 acres.
The latter crop is practically all solo
at Dayton, Ohio, and Dale and Boon
vile are the principal markets for the
hurley and one sucker types.
The approximate value of the entire
crop this year is $3,325,000.

theatre. The film was made in winter
time with the Yosemite Valley for its
settings and never before have the
pristine glories of nature been reveal
ed>so appealingly.
Frozen cascades, of gigantic altitude,
huge waterfalls and huge snow slides
all contribute their moiety to give
festival of beauty for nature-hungry
eyes.
Not only in the matter of the seen
cry is "The Cave Girl alluring. The
plot combines the usual adventure, ro-
nance and thrills, winding up with
sensational rescue on the edge of a
waterfall. Teddie Gerard in the title
role, is the lady who is saved from
such horrible fate and Charles Mere
dith is her rescuer. He is also the
