Tobacco Notes MONDAY TUESDAY IT TAKES All KINDS OF MEN TO MAKE AN ARMYj AND AIL KINDS OF WOMEN TO LOVE THEM! Of ^ rt>s- lOVf :E IS A NEW KIND OF DRAMA SO TENDER...SO NEST, SO MOVING ...IT BECOMES THE MOST IM- jNG ROMANCE YOU WIU TAKE TO YOUR HEART I OKiurtJOJ "Moc* MAXWEH ANDERSON S iKiurtJOJ "MO'n MAXWCli E EVE OF piM iAXTER • WIlllAM EYTHE MICHAEL O^HEA By J. B. SNH’KS, County Agent It is evident from observation and reports that I have heard that it has been unusually hard to get a stand of tobacco this year. Many farmers report that they have had to set three or four different times this year and still have poor stands. The tobacco, as a whole, is very irregular and with very few uniform stands. This being true, tobacco farmers will have a very hard job in priming and cur ing their tobacco. Several re quests have been made to the county agent’s office recently in regard to the treatment for to bacco bud worms. The best known remedy is thoroughly mixing 2 lbs, arsenate lead with 50 lbs. of corn meal. About one peck of the mixture is sufficient to poison one acre. A small pinch of the mix ture should be placed in the bud of the tobacco in the morning while the dew is still on. This treatment should be repeated every ten days or more often if we have rainy weather. A few cases of black shank, sore shin, and stem rot have been reported but these diseases are be ing held down to a minimum due to the dry weather. 'The county agents office will be glad to assist any farmer who has tobacco disease or Insect problems upon request.
