Figure 2— Production of Tobacco in the Tri-State Area, by Types, 1924 



The production of tobacco in the tri-State area is largely concentrated in the central and 

 south-central part of Virginia, in the north-central and eastern part of North Carolina, 

 and in the northeastern part of South Carolina. With the exception of some sun-cured 

 and dark-fired tobaccos in Virginia and a small quantity of Burley tobacco, most of the 

 production is of the fine-cured types.
