SUGAR PRODUCT OF LOUISIANA, 1823-1880. (Bouchereau's S 88,822 The average weight of the hogshead is reckoned at 1,137 po Tobacco Crop of the United States for 1879, in the several STATES PRODUCING 'LE, showing Acreage, Production, Value of Crop in farmers' hands, Value per per acre, and Cost of Production per pound. From the Tenth Census.of the United States, 1880. at the table given above will fairly represent the question of profit and loss in the cultiva n 1879 in the various states of the Union. It will be observed that Tennessee stands mn which indicates profit. This is due to the peculiar condition of the tobacco marketat is was taken. Stocks oftobacco had accumulated, until prices coincided very nearly with tion. All other states growing tobacco for exportation produced also some types peculiarly uirements of the domestic manufacturer, which brought good prices and elevated the of prices for such states. The profitsin growing tobacco in Kentucky came from the prohite Burley and yellow wrapper; in Illinois, from the production ofthe seed leaf; in e production of sweet fillers and White Burley; and in Virginia from the production of .bright smokers," and sun-, air-, and flue cured fillers. In consequence o1the low shipping-leaf, and the margin for profit being reduced to such a low point, Tennessee, Indiana, Maryland, and other states growing tobacco mainly for exportation, show rela ed production. On the other hand, all those states which have grown types suitable for otion, have generally ascended rapidly in the rank of production. Pennsylvania, which nk in 1870, takes the third rank in 1880. Ohio passes from the fifth to the fourth, while ennessee descend from the fifth and third rank respectively to the seventh and fifth, and -om the seventh to the ninth rank. ulture of tobacco have been in direct proportion, first to its suitableness to domestic conecondly, to the amount of fertilization practiced by the growers in its cultivation. r cent. of all the product grown for market in 1879, north of the parallel of 39° 44', was aftobaceco; and eighty-four per cent. of the whole product of that class was grown north The amount of seed-leaf grown in the United States reached nearly twenty per cent. of |
