Tobacco Disease Losses On Decline
Tobacco disease losses were
low In 1962. According to esti
mates, tobacco diseases reduc
ed the value' of the 1962 crop
by 3.3 per cent. Brown spot
caused more damage, while
losses to black shank and ne
matodes decreased.
The fight against tobacco dis
eases Is a continuous one. Many
of the organisms which cause
disease can live tn the soli for
years even In the absence of
tobacco. Others can live in to
bacco crop residues and still
others can be blown by the wind
for many miles. The best way
to control tobacco diseases lsto
plan and follow a complete <!pn
trol program.
Each year we are bothered
with plant bed diseases. The
Methyl bromide treatment giv
es excellent control of both
nematodes and black shank.
Blue mold, anthracnose and
damplng-off remain a threat to
plaYit production although losses
w?re light in 1962. Any of the
fungicides containing ferbam,
rlneb, or-uianeb, applied as dust
or spray, glyes satisfactory
control.
Black Shank and 0*anv tile Wilt
In the field can be Sortrolled
by the usfc of resistant Nine
ties plus crop rotation.
Diseases caused by nematode#
$tUl represent a production ha
zard In growing flue-cured to
bacco. Control Is complicated
because three types of nema
todes are Important parasite*
of tobacco-root knot, npeadow,
and stunt -consisting of seven
or eight species. The most Im
portant Is the root knot nema
tode. This Is the one which
causes galls or swellings on the
roots.
A nematode control program
shouM consist of two or three
practices on every farm: Where
- the population is low, use of
winter management practices
and crop rotation should take
care of the problem; where the
population ? Is high, a soil fuml
gant should also be used.
Rotation of tobacco with ne
matode-reslstant crops long
has been recognlxed as one of
the best and most practical
'methods of control. Results
from a long-range crop rota
tion experiment conducted at
the Oxford Research Station
show that rotating tobacco with,
certain x crops Increased acre
value from $120 to $921.
In planning a rotation, use
only crops that are resistant
to one or more of the three
types of nematodes which at
tack tobacco. Select a crop that
will reduce the particular ne
matode problem that Is causing
most damage at the present
time. These alternate crops
should be changed from time to
time-rotate the rotatlon-ln or

grain, weeds, fescue, peanuts
and* Rowan lespedeza are some
of the better crops to use In a
rotation. * .
Length of rotation Is Impor
tant. Best results are obtained
with a long rotation- two to three
years between 6fpf>s of tobacco.
However, adequate control can
be expected with a two-year
rotation (one alternate crop be
tween crops of tobacco).
More and more Franklin
County farmers are using Fes
cue tn their tobacco rotation.
Personnel of the Franklin
County Extension Service and
Soil Conservation Service think
that this Is probably the best
crop to use in a tobacco rota
tion.
Where tobacco Is to follow
Fescue this year, the sod should
be torn up as soon as weather
permits. D14<rthoroughly before
turning. This causes the Fes
cue residue to be mixed
throughout the top soil and gives
easier management during cul
tivation.
Off The Record Comments
, By T. H. Pearce
Of course I didn't plan to
mention It again, but speaktng
of that High School picture that
my old buddy uses over his
column - well, I wouldn't go so
tar as to say that picture Is
old, but It ybu will glance up at
the top of this column you will
see a picture taken In my young
er days," which should prove
once and for all that that pic
ture of old Clint Is a little out
of date. ,
The reason that I say this
proves It, Is that this likeness
of me was actually taken after
that shot of Old Clint: ru have
admit that 1 look a little
older now than In the picture
therefore It seems reasonable
that he might have changed just
a little.
Yon may wonder how I know
that Clint's picture was taken
fUsl. 'Well, jwju Jte, tlwn li?
always been a story told In my
family about the 'Jay of the
"big mlx-up". That was the
day the picture was taken.
Mr. Brady the photographer
(that's Mathew Brady) was sup
posed to come to my parents
home to' take a picture of me
promptly at 12 noon, but he
didn't get there uhtll late In the
afternoon. Of course, when he
got there sg late he had to ex
plain that he got all mixed up
In his appointments. He thought
he was supposed to be over at
the Loulsburg Male Academy
to take Clint Fuller's gradua
tion picture at noon. So he got
there and found out he had con
fused the two appointments.
This being the case, he had to
watt for the Fullers to dress
Clint.
So you see, he actually took
that picture of Clint before '
this one was made. .
Pll teach that old boy to talk
about my wrinkles.
You may rernember that some
time bacK I got. a letter from
that "CoM Tar Heel," who was
in school up in Michigan. Well
T-meant to mention that I heard
from her again.
This time it seems that she
caused quite a bit of confusion
'and consternation in the dining
hall bp there. Seems that she
went into the cafeteria one day
and as it happened she decided
that she would try a pieceojv*
two of chicken for her luncTuT.
of course she knew that it wasn't
cooked like chicken is suppb$?d
to be, but being hungry she had*,
to eat something so she figured'
she might as well try some.
She told the character behind
the eowwtep that cho Wanted a ?
couple of pieces of dafk meat.
Now any fool knows thatchick
en comes in dark meat and white
meat depending upon the parti
ocular section of the* b^d from
whence it comes, -tftft of course
you would also do well to re
member that yankee stalk funny,
therefore they expect every One
else to talk the same way.
The man behind the counter
ask^d her waht she said. She
repealed that she wanted a
couple of pieces of dark meat.
She noticed that his mouth
kind of dropped open and he
got an even stranger than nor
mal expression on Ms face.
Thinking that perhaps the cold
Weather had formed ice over
his ear drums and that he* was
deaf, she repeated her request
in a louder voice, with the
result that a number of near
' by diners also stopped eating
to stare at her.
