98 EXPORT AND MANUFACTURING TOBACCOS. 
siderably and are of course subject to agreement, but it is under 
stood to run from about 25 to 30 cents a pound. In former years 
prices were much above this and carottes sold for $1 a pound. 
BRAZILIAN TOBACCO. 
In the western part of Williamson County, Tenn., in the vicinity of 
College Grove, Triune, and Allisona, there is a small section that has 
for a number of years produced a few hundred thousand pounds 
yearly of what is known to the trade as Brazil smoking tobacco. 
Locally this is thought to be the best of smoking tobaccos. It is 
mostly put up in granulated form. Its popularity has waned in 
recent years except locally, and very little has been grown in the past 
few years. Under the influence of the high prices even for the low 
grades of Burley, the attention of growers has turned mostly to 
experiments in growing the Burley type. 
Brazilian tobacco, in general appearance and habits of growth, 
resembles Cuban tobacco more than any of the manufacturing or 
export types which we have described. 
RESUME, WITH STATISTICS OF ALL TYPES. 
Table X XVII is in the nature of a résumé of the actual production 
of tobacco in the United States in 1909 as estimated by the crop- 
reporting board of the Bureau of Statistics of the United States 
Department of Agriculture. The division into types does not in 
every case follow that laid down in the preceding pages of this 
bulletin, but it is sufficiently similar to enable any reader to fit the 
two aoe: without difficulty. | 
The most important modifications in deccitea tion are the grouping” 
of the Stemming and the Green River districts together as one 
district, calling them the Henderson or Stemming district. No 
mention is made of a One-Sucker type or district, but two of its 
component parts, the upper Green River and upper Cumberland sec- 
tions, are mentioned as separate districts. The southern Indiana 
section of the One-Sucker district is not specifically mentioned, but 
it is included in the production mentioned as ‘‘scattered”’ at the 
bottom of the table, which has been slightly rearranged to make it 
conform better to the purpose in view. The price averages of two 
dates 5 years apart, December 1, 1904, and December 1, 1909, have 
been added for comparison as a matter of general interest. The 
actual total production of each type was not made a matter of special 
record at the earlier time.
