PUBLIC OPINION. The pressure of public opinion rather than legal "crack-downs'7 will be relied upon to prevent undue price, increases. This does not mean, how ever, that officials will not cloeely watch increased prices of certain supplies, including paper, ootton tex tiles, steel, coal, drugs, chemicals, building supplies, machinery and equipment, hides and leather, and non-ferrous metals. FARM IMPLEMENTS. Manufacturers of farm implements have been asked not to increase the prices of farm machinery at this time. OPA Administrator Hender son believes that assured prices of major raw materials and a favora ble demand justifies the request al though wages and other cost ele ments may have advanced. VISITORS. High-ranking naval officials of Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, J Peru, Mexico, Columbia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Paraguay have ac cepted an invitation to visit the United States. CONFERENCE.

Crop Rotation Helps ;jl Curb Tobacco Diseases * yj ; At the start of another tobacco growing season in North Carolina, L. T. Weeks, Extension specialist of N. C. State College, calls to the at tention of farmere the results of ex periments and demonstrations prov ing the value of crop rotations in controlling disease outbreaks. "Rotating crops is probably the oldest way of trying to keep down tobacco disease, and certainly it is | the most common," Weeks said. "However, really effective disease control can be accomplished only by , intelligent rotation adjusted to specific disease-control problems. In other words, just hit-or-miss rota tion for amy and ail tobacco troubles I wont do. Different diseases call for I different crop rotations." The specialist cited as an example that bare fallowing is no help at all in clearing up soil infestation with Granville wilt. To control that di sease the land, after a crop of to bacco, needs to be cropped to corn, velvet beans or soybeans, cowpeas, small grain, or grasses. The U. S. Department of Agricul ture reported that tests on GraiMHe I wilt at Creedmoor in Granville Coun ty showed the value of the tobacco {crop in various rotations raised from nothing with continuous tobacco, to ' $120 an acre for tobacco after red top and $129 for tobacco after corn. "On the other hand," Weeks said, "bare fallowing is very effective with root knob disease. Sofl infested i with root knot jx reduced most rapid ly with such crops as peanuts, velvet beans, small grains, crofcalaria, sad native weeds. "The practical application of those findings are obvious. If root- knot is the problem, rest the land and allow it to become covered with na tive weeds. If Granville Wilt is the trouble, cover it with brab grass." L ? 1 Far?niCTS Can ^ \ A seed shortage is eminent in the United States, and A D. Stuart, seed specialist of N. C.

Circular, Published --- ? ? Moat of the trouble* of tobacco growers are as old as the crop itsel*. However, two comparatively new diseases have appeared m North Carolina tobacco fields to further plague farmers. They are Gran ville Wilt and Black Shank. To meet the demand for informa tion^on the control of the two dis eases, Howard R. Garriss and Don E. Ellis, Extension plant patholog ists of N. C. State College, have pre pared an Extension circular (No. 247) which is entitled: "Granville Wilt and Black Shank of Tobacco. Copies of the publication are avail able free to interested citizens of tile State, upon request by name and number to the Agricultural Editor, State College, Raleigh. Granville wilt is a root and stem disease of many common agricultural crops. It was first observed on to bacco in this State in the vicinity of Ofedmoor in Granville County about 1900. Since that time the dis ease has. gradually spread and is now present, at least on a limited num ber of farms, in proctkally every county in the State where flue-cured tobacco is grown. Black Shank was first observed on tobacco in North Carolina near Walkertown in Forsyth County, about 19?0. It is also a root and stem disease. The .disease has spread rapidly in Forsyth County addhssmade its appearance in local areas in practically all -of the coun ties . in the Old Belt In 1986 the - ?

County, which is in the New Belt. Since that time it has spread ap proximately 20 farms in the Win terville area.
