This pamphlet has been compiled to fill a need for a brief but 
comprehensive description of the various phases of the tobacco in- 
dustry. It is designed mainly for use of persons whose frequent 
requests indicate an interest in such overall type of information. 
The publication contains a minimum of statistics. For current sta- 
tistical information, reference should be made to the latest edi- 
tions of the Annual Report on Tobacco Statistics, published by the 
Agricultural Marketing Service, and the Tobacco Situation, published 
by the Economic Research Service. 
The material has been taken primarily from the publications 
listed as "principal sources" in the bibliography, and brought to 
date as required. Some supplementary comments have been added, 
based on first-hand observations and experiences.
