Tobacco Plant
Situation Critical
in Chowan County
Tobacco Specialist In
County For Inspection
Last Week
The tobacco plant situation in Cho
wan County is quite critical on many
farms, according to County Agent C.
W. Overman. R. R. Bennett, tobacco
specialist from State College, visited
several plant beds last week with the
county agent. Mr. Bennett concluded
that the poor stand of plants is very
largely due to the lack of sufficient
moisture and from midge larva dam
age. Thare appears to be no differ
ence in stand of plants in the same
beds where a part of the bed was
treated with wood chemicals last fall
and the area left untreated. On the
same farm where some plants are in
dry areas and other plants in more
moist areas the moist beds have a
fair stand of plants.
Mr. Bennett believes that proper lo
cation of plant beds and the estab
lishment of a sufficient water system
to furnish a water supply for irrigat
ing the beds as well as for spraying
is a must. The specialist and the
county agent discussed plans for bed
location so as to provide an adequate
water supply and to allow rotation of
plant bed areas. The county agent
will be glad to outline these plans and
render necessary assistance to any
tobacco growers who call on him.
Mr. Bennett has traveled pretty
well over the North Carolina tobacco
area. At the present time about the
only areas with any possibility of
surplus plants is in the southern part
of the state around Lumberton and
Whiteville. Mr. Bennett and the coun
ty agent agree that in bringing plants
in from other areas it is very possible
and very likely that growers will
bring in disease and implant them in
their soils. This is. a hazard faced
and the question is whether it is bet
ter to take this chance or to go with
out sufficient plants to set the crop
on the farm this year. Plants in the
lower North Carolina area may be
available around May 1 and growers
can make contacts then if they so de
sire. Mr. Bennett is trying to keep
a complete check in the tobacco areas
for surplus plants and will keep the
County Agent advised where a source
of plants appears. j
The' tobacco committee and the pro
gram planning executive committee
with Mr. Bennett met on Thursday
right and worked out an outline long- .
range program for tobacco producers 1
in Chowan County. One member of
the committee expressed himself as
being very much benefitted by this 1
meeting and that he feels the pro
gram outlined for tobacco will be most
worthwhile to those growers who will
study and follow the recommenda
tions. "
On visits to several tobacco beds -
last week blue mold was found to be I
appearing. This is a sad situation
with tobacco plants being scarce as
they are. Unless growers concentrate
