However, I many of our farmers have plant ed their crop knowing at the ; time that the equipment that they had on hand was inadequate to harvest the crop that they were planting. The land available for the production of tobacco is of major importance to our tobacco farmers, since on many of our farms, only a portion of the cultivated land is actually suitable for tobacco production; consequently, due to the concentration of the production of this crop, diseases are one of the major items to be taken into consideration in selecting land for the production of tobacco. This year the Agents have had approximately 50 fanners reporting Granville Wilt appearing 'in their various fields of tobacco. Granville Wilt is caused by 'bacterial parasites which will live in the soil indefinitely if plants susceptible to attack by the germ are grown on the land. There is no positive control measure for this disease. However, rotation ol tobacco with resistant crops will ordinarily reduce loss from this disease.

Prevent washing of soi from infested to uninfested fields 2. Avoid the transportation o tobacco stalks and trash fron infested to uninfested fields. 3. Avoid the transportation o soil on farm implements and oi the feet of animals and man fron infested to uninfested fields. 4. Grow tobacco in infeste< fields only in a 3 to 5 year rota tion with resistant or immuni crops adapted to our locality. (a) Plant tobacco in rotatioi iwith such crops as corn, swee potatoes, cotton, small grain Crimson Clover, Austrian Winte: Peas, Vetch, Cowpeas, Velve beans, or soybeans. ?(b)? Do~not plant" tomatoes j Irish potatoes, peppers, strinj 'beans, or peanuts on land infest ed with Granville Wilt. | There are other diseases foum jin our land that attack tobacco such as Root Knot, commonl; j known as Big Root, which hai a practical control by rotatioi and not planting tobacco on thi: land but one year in 3 to 5 year [and growing resistant crops. Black Shank is also a fungu organism that lives in the soi and can be controlled by rota tion of tobacco from 4 to 6 years There are quite a number o other diseases which show up ii I our tobacco, including Black Roo Rot, Southern Root Rot, Sor ! Shin, Fungus Leafspot, diseases ;and Sun Scald, and due to thi 1 diseases of tobacco found in si '! much of our tobacco land, ou j tobacco farmers should be awan of all of these factors in planninj (their future crops of tobacco, j Available capital, the fourtl ! factor, but no less important thai ( the other three factors alread; , [mentioned, should be weighei [very carefully by each tobacci (producer. A large number of ou | tobacco producers often exploi jail of their available capital o , credit prior to the time that thei harvest begins and have a diffi cult time obtaining money for thi . actual harvesting of their crop. Again proper planning cai overcome this factor by takinj I into consideration the amount o : [money that the individual pro i ducer may have or the amoun j of credit the tobacco produce: i [might be able to obtain am [using this money or credit ii '1 such a manner that the amoun [[planned in 'the beginning of thi i year is available at the timi : ;most needed. Many of our tobac to growers might easily over come this particular item provid jed they start planning their nex [year's crop at the time that the; are receiving their income fron [the present crop. [ There are many agencies in thi j field whereby an individual migh obtain available money for thi production or harvest of thei various crops. Such agencies in elude our private banking sys tern, Production Credit, Fam Security, Seed Loans, and ou private lenders.

Proper Handling :[ Got State Ahead 3 ! 1: ?;? e! North Carolina's Leader-I ship In The Sale Of FlueCured Tobacco Due To , The Proper Handling Of j _ Leaf e RALEIGH.?North Carolina's e leadership in the sale of flue-cury ed tobacco is due to the prominent place it occupies in the production of fine quality leaf and j farmers can only maintain their ^ - position of properly handling and I! preparing their crop before it is E placed on the warehouse floor, W. P Wodri nlr tnhjippn markfttinp1 t1 specialist of the State Department I of Agriculture stated recently. |! Fifty years ago North Carolina 1 ranked sixth in tobacco production, in 1888 about 30,000,000 j pounds were produced. In the j following 50 years the state has ( risen to first place in the tobacco j world, last season having harvest( ed 516,000,000 pounds from 611,I 000 acre9. The total 1938 crop J value was $114,996,213. "The problem of at least part of the present day marketing difI ficulties must be solved at the j farm", Hedrick said. "One condij tion which has created trouble in j I the selling of tobacco has been the j lack of adjustment between production and the needs of buyers. Growers in the past have based j their plantings too much on the ( prices received for the previous | year and have paid too little ati tention to the domestic consumpI tion and the export trade of the crop". | Hedrick satd that "sorting or grading of tobacco for market reI j quires more knowledge and skill i (' than any other agricultural crop i j grown."
