40 EXPORT AND MANUFACTURING TOBACCOS. 
A considerable proportion of the rich, fat leaf suitable for the 
Bremen trade and for export to England is also found in the Lynch- 
burg district. Dark Virginia leaf or strips from this section are gen- 
erally spoken of by Englsh dealers as Lynchburgs. _ 
Good, rich leaf suitable for snuff stock is also obtained from the 
Lynchburg district in considerable quantities. 
About 5,000,000 pounds of plug for export is manufactured yearly, 
principally from Virginia dark-fired leaf. Most of this plug is manu- 
factured at Petersburg, Va., and much of it is marketed in Australasia. 
DISTRIBUTION IN USE OF THE VIRGINIA DARK-FIRED TYPE. 
Accurate figures of a statistical nature are not to be obtained as to 
the exact final disposition of the dark-fired tobacco of Virginia or, 
indeed, of any other type. 
Table VI shows estimates based on general information of a private 
nature obtained from members of the tobacco trade.

OLIVE-GREEN OR BLACK STEMMING DISTRICT. 
Along the northern border of this dark-fired section in Virginia, 
just south of the James and Rivanna Rivers, is a stretch of country 
in which production is rather scattered and in which a modified type 
of firec tobacco is produced, known as olive-green or black stemming 
tobacco. The aggregate production of this type of leaf is about 
2,000,000 pounds yearly, divided among the counties about as shown 
in Table VII.
