Chowan Farmers At
Tobacco Field Day
Friday of last week several Chowan
farmers attended a Tobacco Field Day
at the Upper Coastal Plains Experi
ment Station near Rocky Mount. At
the experiment station the farmers 1
were told by Dr. W. E. Colwell that it;
is more important now than ever to
produce high quality tobacco. Since
approximately 1 acre out of every 3
acres of full cured tobacco which is
planted in North Carolina is intend
ed for export, it is only natural that
the buyers insist on high quality. Mr.
R. R. Bennett, Extension Tobacco Spe
cialist urged the group to sort the to
bacco carefully as this kind of tobac
co will be taken by the Tobacco Stabi
lization Corporation much better than
the unsorted tobacco.
Several tobacco harvesting machines
were observed in action and each one
seems to work very well. Each har
vesting machine, of course, had its ad
vantages and its disadvantages. To
'bacco harvesting machines will prob
ably come in wide use in North Caro
lina within the next few years.
