Burley tobacco growers in Western
North Carolina and other areas
know that wildfire and blue mold
spell trouble and reduced profits.
They know that these names identify
two diseases which often destroy
young tobacco plants in the
?eed bed. Wildfire is perhaps the
< better known in the burley growing
area but either disease is capable
of causing wholesale destruc

tion in a short time. Wildfire is
even a greater menace because this
disease may also spread later orin
the field from plants which
carried the deadly germs from the
plant bed to the field. Field infections
cause poor quality tobacco.
For this reason, even the plants
which may survive an attack of
wildfire in the plant bed are unfit
for setting in the field.. Such a
plant may appear to be perfectly
healthy and still be a carrier of
the wildfire organism.
Why Do Growers Gamble?
Why should growers take a
gamble on destructive diseases
like these when they can be controlled
at little cost? Perhaps i
is because the treatments for wildfire
and blue mold are preventativac
ratHor than nnroc Tt cppmc ?
that many growers always hesti- <
tate to use pest control measures
when the plants appear to be doing
nicely. Instead, they feel that !
they will get by somehow without
treating their beds, and some- j
times they do. However, when 1
conditions favor these diseases and 1
they strike suddenly, as they did 1
in the spring of 1949, these grow- ]
ers then would be'willing to try
almost any remedy. But that's 1
too late! ' <
According to Dr. C. J. Nusbaum, *
who spends all his time working \
with tobacco diseases at the N. C.
Agricultural Experiment Station, ,
there are no satisfactory cures for
wildfire or blue mold?only preventatives.
To be effective, these
preventative measures must be
applied before the diseases make
their appearance. This is a very
important point. In fact, it is the
key to success in avoiding serious
damage from wildfire or blue
mold. Year in and year out, all
growers would be able to produce
better plants more cheaply by
making disease control a regular
practice and enjoying the satisfaction
and profits that a wellmanaged
plant bed can give.
Different Diseases ? Different
Treatments
Wildfire and blue mold are separate
and distinct diseases caused
by two different organisms. Growers
in the burley area often confuse
blue mold with wildfire. Blue

yellowish or brownish spots, surrounded
by a light band, as does
wildfire. Instead, the affected
leaves at first take on a yellowish
cast and turn downward at the
edges . A bluish or grayish moldly
growth appears on the undersides
of these leaves. Later the leaves
or even the entire plants may be
killed, either in spots or throughout
the bed, producing a "burned
over" appearance. While both diseases
are favored by wet weather,
each one develops differently and
requires different treatment.
Methods for control will be published
next week.

QUESTION?Where is the best
place to plant camellias and azaleas?
ANSWER?Both camellias anc
azaleas will grow in full sun, but
semi-shade is desirable. Too much
shade makes the planter spindling
and open and they will develop
few flowers. Plants on norther,
exposures, or otherwise protected
from too much winter sun, esp
cially early morning sun, will generally
stand more cold than wil
those on southern exposure?
Northern exposures provide more
constant temDeraturf* conditions
Too, on northern exposures plant;
enter the dormant period earlie
in the fall and remain^ dormarv
later in the spring. Protectio;
from winter winds also helps. A'
ways place these plants on welldrained
locations. This is highly
important.
QUESTION?Is building up thi
litter a good practice in poultry
production?
ANSWER ? Many poultryme
start their chicks on two inches o
clean litter. During the fourtl
fifth, and sixth weeks of brooding
Railway System. Not only can a
traveller read the booklet and
gain a new insight into the South,
but he can mail one home or t<
a friend in a handy accompanyingenvelope.
