90 cigars consumed for every man,
woman and child in the United States,
says a Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The information upon which these
figures are based was gleaned* from
the annual report for the fiscal year
1902 of the commissioner of internal
revenue, recently issued by the United
States treasury department at Wash
ington. The estimates are made upon
the receipts from the sale of revenue
stamps for lhe payment of tax on
domestic and imported manufactures
withdrawn from warehouses for con
sumption.
In order to place it more readily
within the grasp of the reader, if the
entire number consumed in the year
were placed end to end they would
reach a distance of 490,465 miles, which
is more than 19 times the circumfer
ence of the earth.
Tile average yearly increase in the
number consumed for the past five
calendar years is 573,233,161, or more
than half a billion a year. If the
present rate of increase continues, teu
years lienee, in 1912, the people of this
country will be smoking at th« rats of
12,000,000,000 cigars annually.
As enormous as the number may

cigarettes ulone is estimated at the
approximate number of 2,653,176,130.
From this souroe the government real
ized in tax $2,687,139.55.
The number of pounds of tobacco
and snuff, wlrk-h does not inalude ci
gars and' cigarettes, produced last
year was 298,048,339 and 17,671,136, re-
spectively, making « total of 328,464,-
428 pounds. Deducting the amount ex

the amount imported, 373,47» pounds,
gives 315,719,475, which represents ap
proximately the number of pounds of

United States last year.
in the fiscal year 1901 the production
of toliacco and snuff was 320,019,531

The increase in the quantity of to

proved popular, »ays a Washington
report, and applications for assistance
have far exceeded the ability of this
bureau, with its limited number of
trained foresters, to answer them.
During the season just passed the
bureuu has accomplished more than
ever before in putting small wood lota
under forest management and in
teaching the farmer how properly to
treat his timber.
A great deal of wood is consumed
every yeur on the farm for fuel, posts,
poles and other uses. Ordinarily the
iaruidr cuts what he needs without
thought as to whether he is lessen.ng
the power of his forest constantly to
yield its supplies. The result is that
lhe forest becomes poorer and poorer
every year and less able to furnish the
wood its owner needs. The skill the
farmer exercises in the manugem.',it
of his crops is not of the kind that
enables him to manage properly his
timber. II« needs tffs services of a
