a resolution introduced by Sena

an unfriendly gesture toward

this case Britain is apparently
planning to settle new, rather
than old, debts.

Una’’ tobacco 'plant beds, ia no
longer the frightening and^ deadly
enemy of flue-cured leaf growers.
Plant disease scientists hafe
found effective means of curbing
Its progress through the magic
of chemicals, say Don E. Ellis
and Howard R. Garrlss, extension
'plant pathologists of State Col
lege. '
Demonstrations conducted In
various tobacco-growing sections
of the state earlier in the year
proved the effectiveness of para-
dlchlorobenzene and red copper
oxide as economical and benefici
al agents in halting the disease.
Under a wide range of local
conditions, the demonstrations
showed a uniformly high degree
of success. Complete figures were
kept on 28 demonstrations in 13
counties.
Ellis and Garriss reported that
plants were pulled from the treat
ed beds on an average of B.4 days
earlier than from the untreated
beds. At the time of the first
pulling, an average of 3,474 more
plants were secured from each
100 square yards of treated beds
than from the untreated. For the
season, an average of 12,929
more plants were pulled.
When paradichlorobenzene, or
PDB as it is sometimes known,
was used, narrow plant beds were
recommended and used in a ma
jority of cases. These beds were
5 feet 8 Inches wide. However,
wider beds were used to some
extent and gave good results
when tightly constructed and
when sufficient cross pieces were
provided to support the heavy
cover.
Treatment, in most cases, was
started after blue mold first ap
peared and was continued until
the disease was controlled.^ Where
the red copper oxide spray was
used, applications were usually
started before blue mold appear
ed and continued until danger
from infection had passed.
