To Grow More 1 Aromatic Leaf ; > North Carolina farmers will probably grow more aromatic, or Turkish tobacco this year than ever before, according to R. H. j Crouse, tobacco specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Ser vice. All indications point in that direction right now. ( Mr. Crouse says that most of t those who produced the small leaf s crop in 1957 are planning to do l more of the same this year. In . most cases they are increasing their acreage. (There are no gov ernment controls on the produc tion of aromatic tobacco). Average returns for family la bor used in the production of aro matic tobacco range from $1 to $1.50 per hour where all recom mended practice* are used, saya the specialist. In recent months be has received many Inquiries from farmers in eastern North Carolina concerning the production of this crop, but Mr. Crouse explained that there are no varieties which produce satisfactory quality on the coastal plain's deep sandy soil. He recommends production of aromatic tobacco only on the well drained clay soils of the Pied mont and mountain areas. In these areas the crop doe* fine? but requires expert atten tion. H. E. McCollum of route 4 Reidsvlllc. for example, did a good job with hi* first crop la*t year. He harvested 1,471 pounds from 1.38 acres which aold for 11,365.(0. And Wray Carter of route i Reids ville harvested 716 pounds from' .7 acre which brought $707.46. In Stanly County most growers will increase their acreage ac cording to their labor aupply, says Mr. Crouse. Vaude Hartsell of Lo cust is making plans to produce nine acres; and Homer Talley of ; route 2 Stanfield, will produce i four or five acres. ttrorite singer is Elvis Preslay, and his favorite movie star is Rock Hudson. The activities he ha* partici pated in are vanity dub, basket ball for two years, FFA, Senior play, annual staff, and a bus driver. He said hi* plans lor the future are Joining the Navy.
