AMBWCAS GROWKR3- ^ACTE DIFFICULT PROBLEMS Americail tobacco growers arc laced with difficult problems due la rapid ? changes that have taken place in market requirements?- For several j ears there lias. bfeh a tendency/ both, at ? home arid abroad for cigar-tte consumption to outrun the consump tion ol pipe, vhewing, cigar and swii* tobacco This tendency, which fa ei liected to continue, has prod-iced sharp contrasts in the position oC various groups of tobacco nioductn.

Attention to the lorekm marke* .tuation is imperative, saja . the department, because more than on?-third ol the tobacco crop of the United States is exported -annual!;. In 1J2B the amount of unmanufac tured tobacco exported totaled 478. 768.738 pound;., or : 1 tier cent 6i the total United States crop. Mm' ?of our exported tobacco goes ft Western Europe and the Orient, with 6r e.i . .amain a lid Chipa constituting the most important markets. . Among changes in foraign tobacco growing which the department ad vises American producers to note are the following: fSapldly mcreaums, ? pro3lic.tion of cijar tobacco in Porto Rico continued high production til Italy; some, decline of production u? the Balkan countries and ui pare, of Central Europe: and a gradual m crea.v in British countries atnexpect preferential tariff. There is a tendency, says the- de partment, for foreign governments to Increase rather than to tlLinmtali handicaps to Americas export trade in tobacco, by means of tarifts and other restrictive measures. Foreign market c'ontitlons are particularly serious for . the producers of dark fired: Kentucky arid Tennessee and dark Virginia tobaccos American grower:, have largely depended on loreittn markets in the !>ast for "the disposal ot Ihese types. In 1828. however, only. I30.000.t)00 pound* o' dark .tired Kentucky and Tennessee lea! were nr abroad, compared with 151,000.000 pounds in 1923.

J 2 per cent more than in 1929. and' the total disappearance of this type for the y'ear was greater than in any previous year There is every prospect, moreover. that the demand for cigarette to bacco will continue to aurea se. drear. Britain increased its takings ot American cigarette tobacco in 1926, and so did China is spite o? that country's war disturbances.
