Tobacco Produc
tion Increased
Production ot flue-cured tobacco I
in the United States more than
doubled since 1921, according to gov
ernment estimates. Flue-cured to
baccQ is used chiefly in the manufac
ture of cigarettes and the gain in pro
duction of this type of tobacco is the
result of the increasing numberj ot
men and women who are reaching toi j
"igarettes. The ev?r-g rowing popu-'
Parity of the cigarette is attributed by J
authorities in the industry to the
fact that people are paying more at- 1
tention to their Adam's apples and
are using cigarettes from which cer- f
tain harsh irritants present in all i
tobaccos have been removed by mod-!
ern methods of manufacture such as |
the toasting process including the '
use of ultra violet rays. According to
government records, production o(
flue-cured tobacco last year amounted
to more than 870,000,000 pounds as !
compared with only >72,000,000 lbs.1
in 1921. Produclon in 1930 set a new
record for flue-cured tobacco, the next .
largest being about 760,000,000 pounds
ill 1929.
