Richmond tobacco and other crops show higher yields than the ten year average in 1936. Henry M. Taylor reports favorable late September weather offset early month rains. Tobacco output is estimated at 104,384,000 pounds, 5 percent above September and 9 percent above last year, with per acre yields lower due to disease and pests but total acreage about 12 percent larger than 1935.
