PA(;E 6, THE CAROLINA INDIAN VOICE In last week's column, we mentioned that several activi ties had been held in the county recently that were worthy of note. One of those activities included the two final stops on the Research on Wheels program. The Exten sion Research on Wheels program involves a coordinat ed effort, which is led by Furney Todd, an Extension plant pathologist at NC State University, many extension agents throughout North Carolina, and tremendous number of cooperating indivi duals who allow the agents to place demonstrations on their farms. Two farms which were visit ed during the Research on Wheels program included the Montie Oxendine farm and the Jean Barnes farm. At Montie’s farm, the test is to check the effectiveness of various nematicides which are av»..able on the market and EXTENSION SCENE by Inhn G. Richardsun Extension Chairman others which are still under going research and te^s. Upon observation of the/leni- atieide test one can actually observe the difference in per formance of many/ of these materials. Clarent^ Stockton, our tobacco agent, has labeled each of these plots and anyone is welcome to stop in and visit this test. The test is kx-ated just east of Interstate 95 and US 74. Anyone in the area can give directions to the tests. Following the visit to the nematicide test area, the many representatives from through out the United States as well as foreign countries traveled to Jean Barnes' farm in Marietta to observe a research test involving various fungi cides. Recently Clarence con ducted .two Twilight Tours for local folks to see the variations in this test which is located on severely infested black shank soil. In giving the welcome to the tour group. I shared with the participants that they were going lo ohsciv.' ilic M diamalic c^am[)lc^ of cflcci rungiciilcs ill (he :ica(nicin black shank ihcv vmild c Every individual who has lake'll tlic lime (o waK llirongli llicicsison Mrs. Bai cs' farm has seen some of he mosi di-.inuKic rcsulis lai (hey coiikl ever hope to c regard ing tai'in chemical Riiiiunil, which seems to be ■ c savior of the (iibacco indus,ry as it relates to hluc nu .1. has also shown its colors in its efl'cetive ness for preventing infection of tobacco by bliK-k shank as well. In rcvicwii g the many plots located ih .luglunil the two acre field. i e only plots which appear pc ectly normal arc the ones which had Ridomil as one vif the treat ments. In our ii lomation pre viously. Ridon'i. was being tested last year 'T its effective ness in biack -hank control when it was found to be equally effectiv in controlling blue mold. This test located on Mrs. Barnes’ farm certainly under scores the total effectiveness of this material. We. in the Extension Service, are not in the business of promoting one material over another. However, when the results of on-farm tests indicate that a material is most effective, then we surely do not have any problems in sharing this in- ,\s obac fai nicr is aware. Ridomil was ihc only material wbicb was available for effectiye blue mold control this year. How ever. (here arc a number of other materials available for cllCclivc black shank control aiul while the Ridomil has been i|uilee(Tcelivcoii ilii' test in Mariclla. wc do nol iiilcmi lt> ililiilc Ihc cITeclivcncss of other black shank control materials wliich have piaivcii themselves in their perfor mance over Ihc years. The only reason that I am sharing this information about Rid omil is (hat it is a new material and has eained notoriety as a result of its ability to control the blue mold fungus. In this test on the Barnes’ farm, another material called Galben is being tested for effectiveness against blue mold. In my discussions with Clarence Stockton, he has indicated that Galben also did a very excellent job in blue mold control during the ram pant spread of the blue mold fungus in early June. While our discussions are centered this week only on these two tobacco tests, which are associated with the overall Extension Research on Wheels program, Clarence has been conducting numerous'other I.

The variou.s tobacco tests which the Extension Service is comiiicling in Robeson County are also being conducted in several other cinintie.s by other agents, As a result of this replication throughout the to bacco growing areas of Ihc slate, the inforntalion obtained Ironi the individual tests becomes much more valuable when it is compiled and combined with all the other similar tests.

Therefore, the Tobacco Information Book let is an especially current piece of information and is •always helpful ly tobacco growers for the upcoming year. We encourage anyone who would like to review these tests, to please stop by the farms where the large Exten sion signs are located and visit these lest plots, these resear ch plots and the cooperators who work with the Extension agents in conducting these plots are only as good as the information which is obtained and the lessons which can be li .liMuigli oils PEMBROKE FURNITURE COMPANY Complete Home Furnishing Center main strret pbmbrokI Our entire Sealy Comfort Guard Collection now 25% off Save $45 to $150 per set.
