Extension Research On Wheels Visits Keeter Farm Tuesday
Extension Research on
Wheels visited Warren
County on Tuesday morning
where W. P. Jones, chairman
of the Warren County
Board of Commissioners,
welcomed the group prior to
its visit to the Emory Keeter
System Control Tobacco
Test near Warren Plains.
The test carried a high
infestation of black shank,
L. B. Hardage, County
Extension Chairman, said,
adding that a good percent
of the tobacco in this field
was lost to the black shank.
Hardage described the
test as an outstanding tobacco
demonstration; two varieties
being used. Many
different chemicals and
rotations are being used to
control disease and Hardage
said it shows what can be
done with diseases if a good
system is followed.
Hardage said that people
from all over the United
States were on hand to see
the test as were a large
crowd from Warren County.
"Thanks," he said, "to all
the Warren County people
who were present to show
their interest and support to
this important part of the
tobacco disease program of
the N. C. State Extension
Service plus the local
Extension Service.
"A special thanks ^o the
Keeter family who actually
do the work in the
demonstration and will keep
each plat of tobacco, each
pulling separate all through
the harvest. It is a real
pleasure to work with such a
program as this."

Research on Wheels to
Warren County was part of a
four-day tour covering eastern
North Carolina, beginning
