82 EXPORT AND MANUFACTURING TOBACCOS. 
Local buyers are stationed at various points in the producing 
territory. The principal shipping points are Hurricane, St. Albans, 
and Milton. For the sale of the 1910 crop a loose-leaf auction ware- 
house market was established at Huntington, W. Va. West Virginia 
Burley for the most part had previously found its way finally to the 
Cincinnati or to the Richmond market. In quality West. Virginia 
Burley is fine and smooth and produces some fine twist and cigarette 
wrappers and good cutting leaf. The yield, however, is rather small, 
the lay of the land being hilly and the soil rather thin and not highly 
improved as a rule.

Missouri, principally in Platte and Clay Counties, has recently 
been coming to the front as a producer of a very good grade of Burley. 
The annual production is uncertain, but it is estimated at upward of 
3,000,000 pounds for the three years preceding 1910 and is probably 
8,000,000 to 10,000,000 pounds for 1910. Up to about 1880 Missouri 
had produced almost entirely dark tobacco of the Yellow Pryor type. 
Some was fire cured or coal cured, but the larger part was air cured. 
The longer, coarse tobacco, constituting the bulk of the Missouri 
crop in the old days, went principally to England and Ireland. The 
finer, lighter bodied tobacco produced on the hills and Missouri River 
bluffs was used largely in domestic manufacturing. The principal
