Ottawa—For the third successive year, Canadian tobacco production in 1939 set a new high record. The harvest of 109,846,000 pounds from 91,035 acres was 8 per cent greater than the crop of 101,394.600 pounds from 83.575 acres in 1938. The greatest expansion was in the area planted to Hue-cured tobacco, particularly in Quebec. Increases were also shown for hurley tobacco in Ontario and the pipe varieties in Quebec, while there was a decrease in the area planted to cigar leaf.
