Current data on various divisions of the tobacco industry in Wiscx)nsin 

 have been derived from publications of the United States Department 

 of Agriculture, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture and its Crop 

 Reporting Service, and the Internal Revenue Service. The Director of 

 the Wisconsin Food and Tobacco Institute at Madison, Anthony E. 

 Madler, provided valuable information. Publications of the Tobacco 

 Tax Coimcil ( Richmond, Virginia ) were another useful source. 



Sources of historical data were bulletins of the Wisconsin State De- 

 partment of Agriculture, of the University of Wisconsin Agricultural 

 Experiment Station and University research bulletins; Wisconsin, A 

 Guide to the Badger State, Federal Writers' Project of the WPA (1941); 

 S. Chapman, Handbook of Wisconsin (1855); "Statistics of Manufac- 

 turers of Tobacco . . ." J. R. Dodge and "Report on . . . Tobacco," J. B. 

 Killebrew, both in Report on the Productions of Agriculture (Tenth 

 Census) (1883), and the Wiscor^sin Magazine of History. The quotation 

 on p. 11 appears in the Magazine, vol. XVII, no. 1 ('1933).
