94 TwENTY-FlEST BlENNIAL RePOET 



as of August 31st, as none of the new crop appears be- 

 fore September 1st. After consultation with, the to- 

 bacco dealers and warehouse men, the tobacco grown in 

 the State was divided into Burley, One-sucker, Unfired 

 Dark, Fired Dark and Green Eiver tobacco. The four 

 last named are usually classed as ' ' Dark tobacco, ' ' but in 

 this report they are kept separate, and the number of 

 pounds and the average price for each class is given 

 separately, and then totaled and averaged. 



It is impossible to ascertain definitely just how much 

 money the 1914 crop of tobacco brought, as all of the 

 crop has not yet been sold, and it is possible that part of 

 that sold for dealers was grown by them, and a part of it 

 bought by them and shipped, appearing for the first time 

 on the market in dealers ' hands. The value of each class 

 as sold for growers is as follows : 



Burley tobacco $21,825,496.51 



One-sucker tobacco 631,163.28 



Unfired dark tobacco 359,544.92 



Fired dark tobacco 438,031.57 



Green River tobacco 1,120,404.87 



Total $24,374,641.15 



Again, some of the crop was shipped out of the State 

 or sold directly to the manufacturers. Of the 1913 crop 

 sold for growers there is a value of : 



Burley tobacco $158,354.46 



One-sucker tobacco 2,532.24 



Unfired dark tobacco 4,230.35 



Fired dark tobacco 57,462.07 



Green River tobacco 3,147.60 



Total $225,726.72 



Should there be as much of the 1914 crop in the hands 

 of the growers at the present time as was held of the 1913 

 crop, we would have a total value for the 1914 crop of 

 $24,600,367.87, to which must be added the value of the 

 tobacco iLeXd by dealers, and tliat which was sold without 

 passing through the tobacco warehouses. A much larger 

 portion of the Burley tobacco passes through the ware- 

 houses than of the dark tobacco. It is safe to estimate 

 the value of the entire 1914 crop of tobacco at from 

 $30,000,000 to $35,000,000.
