1The quantities given are unstemmed processing-weight equivalent of all kinds of tobacco used. 
Stemmed leaf and scraps, etc., used in manufacturing have been converted to unstemmed equivalent 
at the ratio of 3 pounds stemmed to 4 pounds unstemmed. 
Compiled from reports of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. 
In studying tables 33 and 34 with reference to weights of the leaf 
tobacco and other materials used and the weights of the manufactured 
products shown in table 35, the following important differences should 
be considered: 
(1) In the manufacture of chewing and smoking tobacco the stems 
of the leaves are removed, although in table 33 the tobacco is reported 
in the unstemmed form. In the manufacture of snuff the tobacco 
is dried and ground, stems and all. 
(2) In the manufacture of chewing and smoking tobacco large 
quantities of licorice, sugar, and other materials are used, but they 
are used to only a small extent in the manufacture of snuff.
