TOBACCO GROWING
SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS MADE IN CANADA. OTTAWA. A new chapter has been written into the history of the tobacco growing industry in Canada. an enterprise which dates back to the early French settlers. The tobacco crop of 1938, amounting to 96,000,000 pounds, was the largest ever harvested in Canada, and tobacco acreage increased by 20.7 per cent over 1937. The large quantity harvested was necessary to replenish depleted stocks of old leaf and to provide for an anticipated greater demand in the United Kingdom market. The output of the tobacco manufacturing industry in Canada during 1937 was valued at 84,100,628 dollars, an increase of almost 15 per cent over that of 1936. Cigarettes formed the main item of production with 6,724,333,000 valued at 52,138,442 dollars as compared with 43,763,029 dollars in 1936. The per capita consumption of cigarettes in 1937 was 603, an increase of 22 per cent over that of 1930.
