Research Program
Tobacco Farmers Stand
To Lose Substantial
Amount
R. Flake Shaw, of Greensboro,
executive vice-president of the North
Carolina Farm Bureau, says that “un
less something is done to further pro-,
mote ami expand our research pro
gram on tobacco, we will stand to lose
a substantial amount of the gains we |
have made to disease within the next
five years.”
The Farm Bureau official, who is
also chairman of the Tobacco Advisory :
Committee, U. S. Department of Ag
riculture, said that he has appealed to [
a House Suo-Conrmittee for an addi
tional $200,000 appropriation to im- '
plement the present research program '
on all types of tobacco, but pointed
out, “though the committee looked
with favor on our recommendation,!
they made no positive commitment.” j
The Tobacco Committees’ report |
states, “in North Carolina 15,000 acres
of tobacco planted were completely |
destroyed by black shank alone during
the last growing season. At corn
values on harvested acres, this is a
$7,500,000 loss.”
Shaw said that black shank was
not only serious in North Carolina, I
but had reached epidemic proportions j
throughout the flue-cured and burley [ i
tobacco areas, and has even extended
into Maryland and Virginia.
“This epidemic is especially difficult , s
to combat,” he said, “because it is |i
overlapping with Granville wilt and j]
nematode infestations in the southern 1
tobacco areas, and with black root ■
rot, wild fire, and fusarium wilt in
other areas.”
In the $200,000 appropriation Shaw’s
committee requested, $30,000 would be
spent on a winter breeding garden;
$50,000 would be used to promote j
fundamental breeding, pathology, and
evaluation on basic disease resistant
tobaccos at the Central U. S. Experi
ment Station, Beltsville, Md.; and the
remaining $120,000 would help finance
regional coordination in state loca
tions.
According to the committee’s re
port, “the only effective and efficient
control of tobacco diseases is through
disease-resistant varieties. Progress
has been made in developing these va
rieties, but as difficult as it may have

If men could understand how a wo
man’s mind works they might lose in
terest in them.
Since by intuition women know this
better than men, no doubt they will
go right on keeping men interested in
; them.
You may expect the unexpected any
time and anywhere.
If the house had not been turned
around on the outside, when you try to
j ease in without turning the lights on
; you will find it has been turned around
j on the inside.
Your wife thinks you do not love
| her unless you bring her candy and
flowers. When you do she wonders
what devilment yo.u hive been up to.
When you would be willing and
anxious to even pay her to speak her
mind you cannot get a word from
her.
When a woman so desires she can'
keep a secret as securely as if it were
buried seven miles deep in the ocean.
Some men owe their success to
their wives and others owe their wives
to their success.
Some women have made fools out
of men yet others have made men out
of fools.
We do not understand why a wo
man puts up with a man when often
she could get along much better with
out a man.
Men will have to reconcile them
selves to living with women without
understanding them for as yet men
have never been able to live without
them.

•NEW CORN HYBRIDS TESTED ONWUIMS
Before the new corn hybrids are recommended for use in North
Carolina, they are carefully tested at branch experiment stations and
on individual farms throughout the State. The work is done by the
North Carolina Crop Improvement Association, with headquarters at
State College. Above, workers check yields of new hybrids on the
ft. G. Foster farm near Kinston. Among the hybrids recommended
this year for the first time are Dixie 82, a high-yielding yellow com
adapted to Coastal Plain and Piedmont sections; N. C. 24 yellow,
adapted to upper mountain region; N. C. yellow, adapted to moun
tains and as early com in other parts of the State; N. C. 29 white,
suited to sections of the Coastal Plain and Piedmont; and N. C. 31
white, adapted to same regions as N. C. 29 except the lower or
southern Coastal Main.
