Disease Control Measures Save Farmers Many Millons, (Continued From Page 1.) | Blue Mold (downy mildew) is I j the most serious of the several ! diseases which attack tobacco, North Carolina's No. 1 crop. Each year the disease necessitates the J expenditure of approximately [ | three million dollars by North I Carolina farmers in the seeding! I of excess bad area to produce an j j adequate supply of plants, the I plant pathologist stated. Even though additional beds are plantj ed, during certain years, notably ! 1932 and 1937, the disease may [ be so severe as to greatly delay, transplanting and thereby lower both the yield and quality of! the tobacco crop, amounting to' several million dollars in losses, j he explained. TWO METHODS advocated J Red copper oxide spray and i benzol fumigation are the two j methods of blue mold control ad-1 vocated by the Extension Service, j they having shown promise exper- j (imentally. Summarizing the re- j suits of 13 benzol and 17 red cop-! per oxide demonstrations last' year, Dr. Shaw said that success- j ful control was obtained in a I higher percentage of the fumigation demonstration than the spray demonstrations. The summary of the 13 benzol' demonstrations shows that (1) ' plants were pulled from the treated beds, on the average, five j days earlier than from the un- j treated beds; (2) almost twice | ' as many plants were drawn at { the first pulling from the treated than from the untreated beds; and (3) almost twice as many plants were pulled during the season; from the treated than from the untreated beds. The benzol treat-, ment gave complete control of the! disease in all cases except one., and that was where the amount of benzol used was not sufficient to build up a methal concentra- i ; tion of the gas in the bed. The summary of the 17 spray j demonstrations shows (1) plants j were pulled from the treated beds,' ! on the average, 2.4 days earlier j than from the untreated check plots; (2) slightly more than j twice as many plants were pulled | from the sprayed beds at the first pulling than from the unsprayed j I TOBACCOJ f SELL TOBACCO IP J ?AND EA II Paul's Quit 11 PAUL CALDIS, Prop.. lesale Dist iliable Mer -INIBUS BRUNSWICK Ve are proud of the opportunity w< part in the development and econoi section.
