This being the case the ig total consumption is not increasa. j ing at a very fast rate. The large I crop of last year means that | there will be a large supply on of I hand July 1, 1938. It will be neng J cessary for the 1938 crop to be ir- j reduced 10 per cent, of the 1937 is ; crop or 20 per cent, of the base e- Junder the agricultural conservation program in order to keep op production in line with consumpor tion. Change In Demand L ^ Grandfather and grandmother a used to chew tobacco and dip 0p snuff, but now grandson and ,sl granddaugghter 3moke cigarettes. ,a This being the case, it seems that 30 the logical thing to do is to produce the type of tobacco that is is I in the greatest demand. The den_ mand for cigarettes is gradually r_ \ increasing thus making the demand greater. ? \ County agents nad specialists _ j of the State College Extension ! Service have been working toward the type greatest in demand for several years and has been able to accomplish a great deal bv usintr Onrietv teufs hetter methods cultivation, and fertilization which have a tendency to grow a lighter-bodied leaf. Heavier-bodied tobacco is used for the j manufacture of chewing tobacco, snuff, and some pipe smoking tobacco. The demand for this is not so great as it was, and the following practices given will have a tendency to help produce high quality cigarette tobacco. Varieties Certain varieties have proved to give satisfaction throughout the state as a whole. Jamica Wrapper, Gold Dollar Bonanza, and Yellow Mammoth produce a cigarette type better on heavier soils. White Stem Oronoco and Virginia Bright Leaf produce better on lighter soils. However, ; any of these varietie will be profitable on any good tobacco soil with average prices of recent years. It is a decided advantage to any farmer to use certified seed, i When a grower uses certified [seed he has something that he I knows is absolutely all right. Before seed are certified, the crop is field inspected for type, freej dom from disease, and trueness jto variety by experienced agrono! mists. The seed has to be cleaned and treated and a germination i test run to determine what percentage of the seed will germin I ate before the North Carolina Crop Improvement Association will certify it.

T Plant Beds u Practices that are used with p best results toward producing d stronger plants on tobacco plant it beds should be taken into consideration very carefully. In order S to produce a good crop of to- h bacco, t tie re must be a good e: foundation for producing such a I ti crop and the best foundation is h good, healthy, vigorous plants. w These plants can be produced it by using some of the better prac- T tices which include getting a new a site, where a farmer has plant t< bed land sufficient to do so, each h year. It is advisable to sterlize p the old bed by means of steam- u ing when that can be done a prac- a tical way, or by burning as has a been the custom for many years u in some sections. It is also a good a practice where there is a short- ei age of"'plant bed land, to cover the old beds each year after the ei crop has been planted with pine p straw or wheat straw. This will a prevent any foreign weed or 1 grass seed from growing and f< taking plant food that the plants g need. n When selecting a site so ar- si range it, whether it is in the ci woods or field, that it will have tl a southern or southwestern ex- n posure. Tobacco plants need plen- j p ty of sunshine and warmth. Dur-1 p ing the growing season they will jci eet more sunshine if the Dlant 1 si bed has this southern exposure o: than they would otherwise. Inj connection with locating the js< plant beds, it is advisable when [ i? possible, to locate them near a ir good supply of water. Doing this | v wilt eliminate a lot of work and <J; time in watering the plant bed h during a dry season that might p come in the spring. j T A good, loamy type of soil has ei ! proven to be the best type of t< 'plant bed soil that can be obtain- ir ed. On soil of this type, the use|F (of two pounds of 4-8-3 fertilizer ti to the square yard usually gives ci satisfactory results, as far as (tl fertilizer is concerned. Any good tl brand of plant bed fertilizer of the 4-8-3 analysis is all right to 101 use. j hi It is the practice of many farm-1 ai ers throughout the state to put 161 their tobacco scrap in the sta- ! di bles where livestock is kept, then p apply the manure on their plant t \* beds. This practice should be i Ui avoided because it often causes bi diseases to be carried from the b( jold crop to the new plant beds rr [and from there into the field'and ;ti as a result the quality of the tobacco will not be as good as it (might have been. fe I Fertilization In The FlokJ bf j Tobacco farmers of North Caro- bi Una are becoming more "fertili- is zenninded" than ever before, li: b< O X fa th it of i t fo it jib, it Ui Inc.

The percentage I potash j will as also increased. The additional, will otash seems to produce a more mu? niform growth with less disease ing nd better quality. This year we of re recommending for general and se a 3-10-6 fertilizer and this kno nalysis is especially recommend- G i for sandy loam soils. ave However, on some of our heavl- tobi r soils it is possible that higher to < ercentage of potash is profitable stal nd for these types of soil a 3- shoi 0-8 is recommended. In these rich >rmulas two-thirds of the nitro- higl en is derived from water-soluble j not mterials and one-third from in-1 stal aluble materials, phosphate all as Jllling iruiu auper[muspila(.c tiiiu t uug ie potash being derived from gin. uiriate of potash, sulphate of t tobj otash. In the 3-10-6 formula, 1.4 top er cent, of the potash, 1.6 per fori int. sulphate of potash magne- moi la, and 3 per cent, from sulphate f potash.

In some cases, and especially a lighter soils, the use of sulpate of potash is recommended [ s side dresser at the rate of ) to 100 pounds per acre. This , epends upon the percentage of otash used In the fertilizer i hen planting the tobacco. The j 1: se of a side dresser gives to- , ; icco a more rapid growth and a jtter uniformity and develop- | lent during the stage It is mairing. Rrepnration And Cultivation * It is well to prepare the land a P :w weeks before planting the toicco, especially the disking and f eaking. As a general thing, it advisable to apply the fertl- f ser around a week to ten days ;fore planting on heavier soils. & n some of the lighter soils & here leaching more likely to ike place during the heavy rainill, it is not advisable to apply ihe fertilizer that far in advance ; ' plantings; just a few days be- fljj re planting is sufficient. ? Tobacco should be kept on a d or ridge at all times during ? le growing period. In order to > this, it is necessary to put it i a good ridge when planting, tie process that has proven most itisfactory in preparing and ieping tobacco on a good ridge to lay off the row with a tonewall plow using large fronts 1 it and then apply the fertilizer this furrow. After applying the rtilizer take the same plow and > back ar.d open the row, throwg the fertilizer well up on the loulder.) of the furrow. Then ike a turning plow with a meum or large wing, depending on le type of plow, and make a jod size ridge. At each cultivation, work the ill toward the tobacco. By doig this the tobacco can be kept n a good bed during the entire rowing season. This is advisable for the fellowig reasons: First, it gives the lant more growing space; sejnd, it is an advantage to have le tobacco plant on a bed in Iverse weather conditions, wheter it be wet or dry; and third, vming bum 10 uie luuuccu |)ia 11 l t each cultivation causing new x>ts to come out from the stalk, 'hich will help to take the plant xxl from the soil, thus producig a better quality and type of >bacco. Three types of plows are necesiry to follow this ridge method f cultivation as it should be one. For the first cultivation, a iree-hoe cultivator should be sed. The cultivator does not ush much soil but it does loosen p the soil around the plant and Ives it a thorough working, 'hich enables the plant to grow lore rapidly than it would if the oil were allowed to remain cornact. By the. time the second culvation is necessary the tobacco nould be large enough to use a tonewall plow with small attachlents, pushing the soil toward j le tobacco. At the third cultlvaon the Stonewall should be sed again with larger attachlents. Usually with normal weather ondltion four cultivations is all hat is necessary and the fourth ultivation should be done with turning plow with a middlezed wing and a 14-inch sweep ttached to the back of the dng on the plow. This will enble a reasonable amount of soil > be pushed around the tobacco! lant and will not coven leaves to he extent that any considerable amage will be done. After each p and if the soil is of a com- ture is one pound o t nature, it is advisable to to five pounds of an this with a turning plow with j Apply at the rate ery small wing.
