II The government has sources of in-11||| ! formation and man power to III I analyze this information that j II scattered groups of farmers I could never have. Therefore when III the United States department of 11 agriculture finds that only a Illll given anifunt of tobacco or any III other staple crop is needed to JII supply domestic anil world mar- II kets, it would be wise for our j llll growers to heed this announce- II mcnt. And so I say that we are not II only learning about the needs of I the market but we are also learn- llll ing how to cooperate. It is my j II hope that this spirit of coopera- ] II tion will expand until each grow- J llll er in a given community w'^ 11||| play fair with hi3 neighbors and II plant only as he should plant. j|||l In such a spirit wc can win out j II in this fight for better prices. II When that is done we shall not II need compulsory cooperation llll I through such agencies as the j ! Kerr-Smith Tobacco Control Act. j Along with these new ideas in ' marketing and cooperative effort has come new ideas in growing tobacco. E. Y. Floyd, extension specialist in tobacco work at State College, says that 80 percent of the growers in North Carolina today are following the control methods advocated by the college for keeping down damage by insect pests. These pests include the larvae of the black fly in the seed bed, which destroys the young seedlings, the cut worms, the bud worms, horn worms and flea bugs. The next thing to which growers are giving intelligent attention in the control of plant diseases in tobacco. This is said to be the Dlggesi prooiem Deiure uje giuw ers of the State but they are for- II tunate that these problems are II being studied at the Tobacco ; II Experiment Station near Oxford j II and at the Central Experiment II Station at State College. Not too II much information is available II about tobacco diseases as yet but II definite progress is being made II and it is hoped that the research 11 workers will soon be able to tell II how to handle all of these plant II troubles. Some of the main ones II are: blue mold, Granville wilt, II ro6t knot and sore shank. It is II said that these four diseases II alone are responsible for thou- II sands of acres of tobacco being II destroyed in the State each sea- I son. Only partial control can be II secured now because science has II not pierced the mystery of the II causes. However, progress is be- II I ing made. Progress also is being made in II the study of tobacco varieties. II Most growers know that the II best varieties of flue cured weed II for this State are; White stem II Orinoco, Bananza, Jamaica wrap- II per, Virginia Bright leaf and 11 Cash.. Progressive tobacco men II are- now producing seed of these II varieties in large quantities and II most of them are being certified II | by the North Carolina Crop Im suit of the hundreds of field testi made by county farm agents unJ der the direction of Mr. Floyd, w?
