Paducah and Maysville, Ky., are the most important market towns 
for this district. Murray and Fulton, Ky., and Martin and Paris, 
Tenn., are also receiving centers of importance. The Paducah dis- 
trict is often spoken of as the ‘‘ Western district,” the terms being 
synonymous. 
DISTRIBUTION IN USE OF THE COMBINED CLARKSVILLE AND HOPKINSVILLE AND THE 
PADUCAH TYPES. 
The general character of the tobacco produced in the Clarksville 
and Hopkinsville district and in the Paducah district is substantially 
the same. The strong red clay subsoil is much more prevalent in the 
Clarksville and Hopkinsville district than in the Paducah district, 
which runs more to gray or yellow. Differences in soil naturally 
cause some differences in the character of the tobacco produced in 
the two districts. That from the Clarksville and Hopkinsville dis- 
trict is as a whole richer and darker as well as finer in texture than 
that from the Paducah district. 
The really fine grades, such as plug wrappers either for domestic 
use or for export (principally to Canada), are obtained almost entirely 
from the Clarksville district, as are also the fine Austrian and Swiss 
types and the finer Italian grades.
