a two-thirds vote is required to
bring them to the floor. A ma

Senate to recall a bill from the un

Other legislation acted on this

A bill to declare May 20, 1775

was killed by the education committee.
A recommendation was unani

Several bills to provide free tu

who agree to teach in public
schools intended to help relieve
the teacher shortage went to a

! growing Turkish tobacco here, but
there still is much to find out and
I to make sure that what is thought
I to be the truth really is correct.
Test growths of Turkish will be
; carried on for several years yet be
fore a real market is opened and
widespread growth is encouraged.
At the present time there is a
limited market offered by four to-
bacco companies who are helping
' sponsor the experiments. Dr. Paul
j Gross, head of the department of
chemistry at Uuke University, is
co-ordinator of the experiments,
with his department, the federal
and state departments of agricul
ture, and their experiment stations
working together to determine
whether a marketable aromatic to
bacco can be grown in the United
States under conditions that are
profitable to the grower.
The first tests were carried out
in 1941, when eight farms each
planted one-quarter acre of Turk
ish tobacco, near Chatham. Va,
and Oxford. N. C. Growings have
j spread to other areas in the pied
' mont and mountain sections of
those two states and South Caro
lina, and plans announced for
1947 by F. R. Darkis of the Duke
chemistry department call for from
40 to 45 agres of-Turkish, on-135
farms, including three new counties
in North Carolina, Wilkes, Watau
ga, and Alexander.
Turkish is found to thrive on
poor soil the poorer the better.
The leaves are small, which require
Ihat plants be set much closer to
gether than hurley. The general
rule for planting aromatic is from
live to six incnes apart, in rows
20 inches apart. This requires ap
proximately 55 to 60 thousand
plants per acre, as compared to
from five to eight thousand burley
plants. Manure is considered to be
the best fertilizer.
Not only does the planting of
aromatic require much more labor
than domestic types, but since the
leaves mature over a long period
of time, and are only one-tenth the
size of burley leaves, it takes con
siderably more work to harvest
the crop.
Dr. Luther Shaw of the USDA
has charge of all tobacco work at
the Mountain Experiment Station,
which grew three-quarters of an
acre of Turkish in 1945, one-half
acre last year, and will plant an
other half-acre this year. Two main
objectives of the growings here,
explains Howard Clapp, director of
the station, are to determine the
best dates of planting, and the ef
fects of phosphate as a fertilizer.
Last year, with four persons do
ing the hand work, three plantings
were made: on May 13, May 27, and
June 10. Each plot was tested with
4, 8 and 16 phosphate at the
rate of 1000 pounds per acre.
Although emphasizing that re
sutls so far "are not conclusive,"
Mr. Clapp reports that they see lit
tle difference in the crop accord
ing to dates of planting. They also
got best results with 4 and 8
phosphate than with the stronger
type.
Priming of the leaves started
July 5 and lasted until the middle
of September, requiring six to
nine trips to each plot of tobacco.
The leaves are pulled when still
green, and strung on small twine
by needle. They then are suspend
ed between sticks and left to wilt
in a cool humid place for 36 to 72
hours. After wilting, the leaves are
cured in the sun from 5 to 15 days,
which dries out the water and turns
them yellow, red and brown.
The cured leaves then are sent
Mosquiios

be drained and kept away through
out the breeding season.
On large lakes or ponds, such as
Lake Junaluska, the most effective
control measure is fluctuation. If
the water level of a lake is lowered,
about 18 inches, for from six to
eight hours once each week, then
raised to the normal depth, this
frees the vegetation around the
edges of water. The mosquito lar
vae are pulled away from the mar
ginal vegetation, on which it feeds,
and it is left stranded on the lake
bed or is carried away by the cur
rent. Filling in small puddles and
similar breeding places is another
standard practice. Another of the
best methods is the use of larvi
cides liquid poisons which may be
poured over mosquito breeding
waters. One larvicidal agent, Mr.
Livingston points out, is not effec
tive for all types of larvae, and the
type of mosquito to be killed must
be known to select the right one.
Another factor to make larvicides
effective is to cut down the weeds,
grasses and bushes in the places
they are used.
The sanitarian reports that two
types of Anophelene mosquitoes
have been found in the Waynesville
area. One of these the Anophelene
Quadrimaculatus, is the vector of
malaria. It does not sing, and bites
only at night, any portion of a hu
man or animal body that is un
protected. It prefers to breed in.
clear ponds or lakes or sluggish
streams; and contrary to belief will
not breed in tin cans, rain barrels
and mud holes. Oil, paris-green,
and a 2 solution of DDT are ef
fective larvicides for this type
mosquito. However, since special
equipment is required, it is advised
to first check with the health de
partment before using this control.
There are one or more members
of the Culicine family also here,
the biting nuisance who feeds day
i or night, sings when in flight, and
attacks any part of the body. Their
favorite breeding places arc tin
cans, rusty drums, flower pots, rain
barrels and gutters. Complete
drainage is the best control meas
ure, and if rain barrels or other
water containers are necessary
they should be screened with No.
14 mesh screening or with cloth.
Oil is the best larvicide.
Another mosquito found here is
the Ades Egypti, the vector of den
gue and yellow fever. It prefers to
live near humans, and ferocious
ly attacks the ankles, usually pass
ing up other portions of the body.
It will live in houses, breeding in
flower pots, tin cans, broken bot
tles, rain barrels, or cavities in
trees and stumps. Control meas
ures ve the same as for the Culi
cine group, with the addition that
flower vases at home should not
be overlooked.
There are only two means to
cope with the adult mosquito.
Screening is recognized as the
most effective, but must be No. 14
mesh wire as a larger mesh will not
prevent their entrance. If adults
are present in the home, then
spraying is the only alternative.
The walls, ceilings, under the beds,
all dark corners and places within
the home should be sprayed with
a 5'c solution of DDT. A pressure
type sprayer is recommended for
DDT.
Disease is spread by a man-to-
mpsquito-to-man transn
mosquito bites tin. mani
ly known as the host, wfo
laria and thus acquimi
site. It then bites tht se4
woo contacts uu- parasite
mosquito.

to the Oxford experiment station,
the central point for all aromatic
tobacco. There they are graded,
compressd in bales of from 75 to
125 pounds, sewed in burlap cov
ers, and stored for two or more
years to permit developmnt of the
aroma. It then is ready to blend
with other domestic types for a
wholly American cigarette.
On the half-acre grown here last
year was 543 pounds, or an average
of 1,086 pounds per acre. All that
is grown under the authorized ex
periments can be sold at 75 cents a
pound, which showed an income
per acre here of $814.50. Through
out the area in which the experi
ments were carried, an average of
1,202 pounds was produced per
acre for an income of $901,50.
Although this income compares
favorably with burley, the larger
amount of labor involved in grow
ing Turkish indicates that it is
more suitable for a large family
with small acreage; where a poor
piece of land can with proper
supervision be made a good
source of family finances.
