44. EXPORT AND MANUFACTURING TOBACCOS. 
Production is most concentrated in Montgomery and Robertson 
Counties, in Tennessee, and the southern portion of Christian, Todd, 
and Logan Counties, in Kentucky. The Clarksville district extends 
into six other counties in Tennessee, all bordering on Montgomery or 
Robertson Counties. The distribution of production of this type in 
Tennessee is estimated with approximate accuracy in Table VIII.

The tobacco produced in Muhlenberg, Caldwell, and Lyon Counties 
is of a mixed type, and can not be classed strictly in either the Hop- 
kinsville, Henderson, or Paducah districts. It is buffer territory and 
the lines dividing the districts, as shown on the map, are somewhat 
arbitrary, but are the best approximations practicable. Muhlenberg 
County is buffer territory between four districts, the Hopkinsville, 
the Stemming, the Green River, and the One-Sucker or southern 
Kentucky districts. Most of the tobacco grown in Muhlenberg is 
produced in the southern and western portions of the county and 
most of it is at least lightly smoke-cured by open fires. That from 
the southern portion finds its way to market mainly through the 
Hopkinsville district and that from the western part mainly through 
the Stemming section. The northeastern part of Muhlenberg is 
largely given up to coal mining and but little tobacco is Bandivese | in 
that section. Muhlenberg tobacco is designated by some as the 
Greenville type, from the name of the county seat, which was formerly 
an important center for the manufacture of the so-called Greenville 
plug. The total production of tobacco in Muhlenberg County is 
244
