Softball Championship Series Now Standing Even - Steven \ flCTORY ON THE FARM FRONT T MWS from tfm Afrialtvrtl txtnsnt Stnkt NEW FEUE-CCRED TOBACCO VARIETIES ARE DEVELOPED Two new varieties of flue-cured tobacco have been developed by the N. C. Agricultural Experiment Sta tion, in cooperation with the Bureau of Plant Industry of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture, it is an nounced by Dr. L. D. Baver, Experi ment Station director of N. C. State College. One of the varieties now bearing the name "No. 401," will likely add $40 to $50 per acre to the income of tobacco grpwers, as com pared with a number of other va rieties they are growing, Dr. Baver reported. Both the No. 401 variety and the No. 400, the other new variety, have some resistance to diseases, the re search leader said. The No. 400 is highly resistant to the black rot dis ease. The black root rot infests areas in the Old Belt (Piedmont area) and the No. 400 variety is not recom mended for the New Bright or Bor der belts. The No. 401 variety, however, is recommended for all flue-cured belts. Dr. Baver said. It may be planted anywhere in the flue-cured area. The No 401 variety was de veloped from a cross between the Cash and No. 400 varieties, and both of these varieties show some resist ance to leaf spot diseases. The State College official also announced that the Experiment Sta tion and the Bureau of Plant In dustry have developed a very satis factory variety that is resistant to the Black Shank disease. This va riety, as yet un-named, may be re leased for the 1943 season. "A resistant variety to Granville Wilt and Mosiac also appears in sight," said Dr. Baver. "The three diseases ? Black Shank, Granville Wilt and Mosiac?cost the tobacco farmers of the flue-cured area well over a million dollars annually." Red Clover New varieties of red clover have produced from one-fourth to one ton more hay per acre than varieties commonly used. -4> Feathers A plea to save all kinds of poultry feathers for comforters, millinery and military purposes is made by poultry specialists.
