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.

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."

New Tobacco Disease
? 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

disease was. found on one farm in
the vicinity of Winterville in Pitt!
County, which is in the New Belt.
Since that time it has spread ap
proximately 20 farms in the Win
terville area.
Crop rotations and sanitation are
the most reliable forms of cOntrpl
for both Granville Wilt and Black
Shank. ? '
