Tobacco Dise
Carried Or
Intensive Experiment Is Being
Carried On Within
Three-Quarter Acre Plot
Of Ground
MANY STUDIES ARE
MADE ON TEST FARM
Three Methods Recommended
As Remedies For
Blue Mold Are Being
Tried Out At Experiment
Station
A three-quarter acre fenced plot
of ground west of Highway 15-A
about nine miles south of Raleiglf
might appear to speeding
motorists to be a chicken run, but
in truth it is a highly important
piece of land from the standpoint
of the future of North'Carolina's
great tobacco crop.
It is not valuable land from a
realty standpoint; in fact it is
wormy, or at least it was before
experiments were started on it
in 1936.
Slow driving motorists note
from the sign bordering the highway
that it is the McCullers Tobacco
Experiment Station, a cooperative
project of the North
Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Station at State College, the U.
j S. Department of Agriculture, and
the State Agriculture Department.
It is used primarily to
study the effect of crop rotations
cn the control of tobacco
I root knot, a disease which annually
takes an enormous toll
of the leaf crop. However, many
ui uie uuici viuti wuttcuu pto|
duction problems are under investigation
there.
K. J. Shaw, a graduate of
State College in the Class of
1933 and now an agent of the
Division of Tobacco and Plant
Nutrition, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, is in charge of the
experiments. J. L. Rand is foreman
of the project and remains
on the farm while Shaw commutes
to and from his office
on the State College campus
where he analyzes the results
of tests.
FARM LEASED IN 19S6
There are 22 acres in all on
the farm, but many of the studies
are centered around the threequarter
acre plot. The farm was
leased in 1936 after its owner had
found it comparatively unprofitable
for the production of fluecured
tobacco because of the
heavy infestation of nematodes,
the little worms which cause root
knot disease. At least, that is
what the first year of the experiment
showed. The owner
knew something was wrong with
the land, and the first year of
the test was devoted to proving
the infestation of nematodes.
Then a three-quarter acre plot
on the heaviest-infested area of
the farm was measured off for
intensive worn and fenced to
keep out animals. It was divided
into 12x12 foot sections by sinking
creosoted boards ten inches
in the ground. These boards keep,
the soil from shifting from one
..ntUn +/ ? onAfkor Qnrl mivino'
9CUUU11 vvs aiivuivi , u>>v4 Q
of soil from one box to another
is further eliminated by complete
hand-cultivation.
Previous investigations in other
states with various methods of
root knot control has shown crop
rotation to be the best. The purpose
of the McCullers experiments
is to expand these investigations
and show experimentally
what crops can be used most
successfully in a rotation for the
control of root knot disease in
tobacco.
Fourteen different crops were
planted in 1937 within the boxes,
with several check plots of tobacco,
and some boxes were unseeded
and kept clean of all plant
growth. The crops planted were
velvet beans, corn, cotton, sweet
potatoes, oats, soybeans, crotalaria
spectabilis, vetch, herd's
grass, lespedeza, peanuts, and
even weeds, with combinations of
oats and weeds. Four boxes, widely
scattered, are used for each
crop.
PROMISING PLOTS MOVED
The rotations showing the most
promise with respect to control
of namatodes are moved to onetwentieth
acre field plots, where
the results are even more conclusive.
These field plots are
divided by roadways covered with
grass, and by peanuts to prevent
shifting of infested soil.
During the past year results
of two-year rotations were obtained.
Shaw said peanuts, velvet
beans, crotalaria and oats produced
the best results, but he
was quick to point out that one
year's results are by no means
conclusive since weather and other
conditions are likely to have
a great influence on the rotations.
Two-year rotations will be continued
during 1939 and the first
of the three-year rotations will
be grown to tobacco. Four-year
rotations and additional results
from two and three-year rotations
will be possible in 1940.
Variety tests are also being
conducted at the McCullers Station
to determine which are most
resistant to nematodes. From 50
to 75 varieties, including many
imported from foreign countries,
are being grown each year and
some are showing fair resistance,
but they are not true flue-cured

types.
Another possible influence on
root knot disease is being checked?that
of soil temperatures. A
soil-recording thermometer was
j obtained last year and it makes
| a constant chart of soil temperatures
at tnree, six and twelve
inches depth. It may be possible
to correlate soil temperatures with
the severity of nematodes, Shaw
explained.
OTHER STUDIES MADE
The study of root knot diseases
is not the only work of the McI
Cullers Experiment Station. NaI
turally, the processes in conducting
these tests makes it possible
to investigate other problems of
tobacco culture.
For instance, the three methods
recommended for blue mold control
in Extension Circular No.
229?by fumigation with benzol
or paradichlorobenzene, and by
spraying?are being tried out in
the plant beds. The soil for the
plant beds is sterilized by steam.
This method is too expensive for
the average tobacco farmer unless
a cooperative unit is obtained,
but it is valuable on the small
experimental area because the
plant beds do not have to be
moved from year to year and
water is always available in
droughts.
Other investigations include disease
control measures through
fertilization placement, transI
nlanf inp- dates and the ridfe vs.
flat method of cultivation.
The work of the station was
expanded this spring when another
plot was boxed for intensive
study of Southern root rot.
"This station is an ideal place
for tobacco disease studies",
Shaw concluded. "It is principally
Norfolk, sandy loam and fine
sandy loam soil, which is more
subject to root knot than heavier
soils."

would bring fame and fortune to |
the person who accomplished it." |
One day in 1885 a student C
heard this, but instead of letting t
it travel through his head, as the f
others had done, he gave it some ft
real thought. This young stu- ti
dent's name was Charlie Hall.
He talked to the professor after
class and the professor told I
him some interesting things I?
about aluminum. Scientists had
made aluminum for years, but it (
cost a great deal. In fact, pure f,
aluminum was so scarce it sold j
for $400 a pound. Its value rank- j
ed with silver and gold. Made in- j
to ornaments, it was worn as d
| jewelry. i ii
Napoleon III knew its posslbili- i a
ties, and commissioned his most e
learned chemist to work out a I
j new way to manufacture it. The;
j chemist, after a time, perfected j
a process which brought the' p
price down to $16 a pound; a tre- h
mendous leap forward.
Young Charlie Hall graduated c
that year; and. instead of loaf- ii
ing around, as some of the other!
students did, he rigged up a lab-I (
oratory in the family woodshed j
and started to work. He read
everything he could find on the j ?
subject, studied the French ex- f <;
periments. He put every cent he I d
had in equipment and experimen- j
| ted night and day. Failure. Tried >.
I time after time. Failure.
One day while arranging an
! electric light globe in his wood- ,"
shed laboratory, an idea struck! r
j him; why not combine the ingre- j
j dients by means of electricity.' c
Obstacles popped up; electric js
power was not plentiful; batter- ?
ies weak. But he finally got a J n
satisfactory electric current. To
this he added a mineral called'
"cryolite." He let the current,
pass through for two hours, then j ^
dipped into the molten mass with j S
an iron spoon ana aiscovereu a
miracle: there were half a dozen
globules of pure aluminum. Ex- s
cited, he dipped some of the glo- s
bules in the iron spoon and raced a
to his professor's house as fast y
as he could go, knocked at the
door and shoved the spoon at the i
professor, crying: "I've got it!"
Sure he had it. He had a pro- ^
cess that was to revolutionize a
certain features of American in- v
dustry. He had a process that: r
[ was to make him fame and for-1 p
I tune. He reduced the price of
aluminum to twenty cents a v
pound. He started a company
which became the Aluminum
Company of America, one of the a
giants of American business. v
When he died, he left ten million s
dollars to Oberlin College.
Other boys had heard the same r
words as Charles Martin Hall, n
but Charles had vision enough to a
see their possibilities: and he
had enough power, ambition' find t
persistence to transform his vision
into a reality.

Do You Know The ?
Difference betiveen [j
A Person-to-Person and a
Station-to-Station Long Distance Call?
The first important difference is in the cost. Station-toStation
service is about one-third cheaper than Person-toPerson
service.
A Person-to-Person call is one where you ask to be
connected with a particular person at a distant telephone.
Timing of a Person-to-Person call does not begin until the
person you want is brought to the telephone.
A Station-to-Station can is one wnerc you mereiy as* 10
be connected with a distant telephone. After the called telephone
answers, if you wish, you may then ask for some particular
person, but the charges on a Station-to-Station call
begin when the distant telephone answers.
Also, the rates for most Station-to-Station calls, after 7
P. M., are about forty per cent less than the day rates, while
rates for Person-to-Person service after 7 P. M. are reduced
approximately thirty per cent on calls on which the initial
day Person-to-Person rate exceeds 50 cents.
For rates and other information, look in the front pages
of your directory, or ask the long distance operator.
