business and with the cooperation of state tobacco 

 associations and both the state and federal governments, 

 the science of tobacco farming and marketing has 

 evolved more and more into a united effort to produce 

 a more refined crop much more efficiently. 



Tennessee's fine tobaccos make a strong contribution 

 to the U.S. tobacco industry. From tobacco for cigarette 

 manufacture to tobacco for snuff, chewing and smoking, 

 to that exported, helping our balance of trade, the 

 industry in Tennessee has long been, and for a long time 

 to come will be, a strong part of the commerce, agri- 

 culture and industry that make up the "Volunteer 

 State."
