UffISCTCOIT TWO PAGE FOUR No NW Chemical Sucker Controls For '64; Growers Urged Use Present Ones Tobacco growers should count on fighting suckers this summer ■with essentially the same chemi cals that they have had avail able for the last several years. Henry Marshall, a researcher at North Carolina State, says grower interest has been aroused by several recent reports on new Chemicals that are being develop ed. “These chemicals are still in the experimental state,’’ Marshall said. “None will be available for general farmer use in 1964.” Only one new chemical, Periar, has been granted an experiment al label for use at the farm level during the summer. It will be applied on a trial basis to a few selected .farms under super vision throughout the flue-cured area. Available chemicals will be MH-30, a growth inhibitor, and TSC-350 and Bayol N-350, two forms of mineral oil emulsion. Marshall says the challenge for growers in 1964 is to keep up the trend they have estab liAed toward better and better use of present chemicals. Growers seem to apply the chemicals with more concern and more skill each year, he said. Some growers did not get good control of suckers last year, how'ever, because of dry weather. Some of these growers, Mar shall is afraid, may be to go to a higher rate of appli cation this year. “But I think this would be wrong,” he added. “A higher rate will not do any better than the recommended rate in a dry year. You just can’t get MH in a flopped tobacco plant.” Suggestions for using the chemicals are the same this year Merry HiU News] By Mrs. Ethel Winborne I — Miss Frances Cowand, Mrs. Bill Cowand and Mrs. Living ston White spent Sunday at Ocean View.

One of • the most important points for a • grower to remember in applying ■ MH-30 is to let the tobacco fill out in the top and mature as ■ much as possible before treat > ing. I Treatment should be applied r early in the morning after ex • cessive dew is gone from the upper part of plant. Plants i should not be treated when they I are wilted from hot, dry weather ’ or from too much moisture. Growers should not use more . than one pint of MH-30 per 1,- 000 plants. At least 20 to 50 i gallons of water Should be used 1 pet- acre. 1 The effectiveness of MH-30 may be cut substantially if a heavy rain occurs four to six hours after application. A final point that growers | should remember is to let MH -30 trea“ d tobacco become well ripened oefore harvest. Up-stalk tobacco treated with MH-30 will usually need to stay in the field from one to two weeks longer than if not treated. If a farmer plans to use one of the oil emulsions. Marshall says it should be applied in the early flower stage. The emul sion must run down into each leaf axil since it kills suckers by contact. It is suggested that growers use about one teaspoonful of emulsion per plant. Two gallons of emulsion mixed with an equal amount of water will treat about 6,000 plants. Treat in clear, warm weather. But avoid extremely hot days or the hottest part of the day when the temperature is 90 degrees or higher. daughters Amelia and Kathy and Carolyn Johnson spent Sunday 'at Virginia Beach with Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Holland.
