Advantage Seen In Tobacco Beds Treated For Weeds County Agent Overman !• Inspects Two More Demonstrations * County Agent C. W. Overman re ports that after visiting two other to bacco weed control demonstrations . last week, he again found excellent results. Gilbert Harrell of the Ad vance community, says Mr. Overman, found that it took him approximately six times as long to pick his untested beds as it would the treated areas in the demonstration. W. H. Winborne of the Cross Roads community had not picked his bed, I but appeared to have very few weeds in the untreated area but considerably less in the treated plots. A. C. Griffin of the Edenton com munity found that it took over ten ■ times as long to pick the untreated plot in his bed as it would the treated plots. All of these records are based on a per square yard basis. Further results are observed in treated plots as compared with un treated plots. Treated plots are na turally much higher in nitrogen and the plants are making much faster growth. Blue mold has struck all of these three demonstrations as well as practically every tobacco bed in the county. A. C. Griffin is spraying his bed and appears to have the blue mold under check now, Hajoca Exhibition In Norfolk Three Days l HAJOCA Corporation, manufac ™ turers and wholesalers of industrial, plumbing and heating supplies, with 31 branch offices in eastern seaboard cities, will bring to its local branch showrooms, 24th Street at Llewellyn ¥ Avenue, in Norfolk, a novel industrial supply exhibition for three days, be ginning Tuesday, April 26 and cc n tinuing through April 28.
