J. McCrary of the Big Branch community is oft to a good start with his Turkish tobacco demonstration. Mr. McCrary is planning to grow one and a half acres of romatic tobacco this year, and he has been very successful in pro ducing an abundant supply of healthy, disease-free plants. In growing these plants, Mr, McCrary followed the same prac tices used in producing burley plants, and he states that the aromatic plants grow faster and will be ready to set several days before burley plants that were seeded at the same time. Tommy Woody of the Iron Duff community is conducting a burley obacco demonstration that should provide some valuable lnforma ion as to the value of soil fumigation for nematode control. Soil samples from this held showed a high nematode count, and he field was divided into equal plots with recommended soil fumigants ised on three plots, and the other was left as a check plot without :reatment. Tobacco on all plots will receive the same treatments >therwise, and will be kept separate until marketed. Several farmers who have had trouble from nematodes will be >bserving this demonstration throughout the season.
