62 EXPORT AND MANUFACTURING TOBACCOS. 
Carolina produces far more flue-cured leaf than does Virginia, as indi- 
cated in Table XVII (p. 68). Figure 26 shows an interior view of a 
leaf factory at Greenville, N. C., engaged in the making of strips for 
export to England. 
DISTRIBUTION IN USE. 
Estimating the total average production of flue-cured tobacco in 
the Old Belt and in the New Belt at about 215,000,000 pounds annu- 
ally, it would be interesting to know how this tobacco is distributed 
in the trade according to the uses to which it is put. No figures can 
be quoted giving this information in an accurate statistical way.

However, making use of revenue returns, export figures, trade reports, 
and of general information picked up here and there, the following 
estimate of distribution may be accepted as substantially correct:
