The ;1 rentage of moisture varies ac- 1 ling to trade requirements but 11 amount of moisture should uniform throughout each hogs- t d, particularly for export. If t ds are very large it is diffi- s to redry tobacco and with o e hands excessively large and c ?rs very small the tobacco a not be redried to a uniform ! c entage of moisture.

Perhaps John Smith feels that g his tobacco yield could be stepped (P up if he were to change his fer- ; c tilizer. Or perhaps he would like ia to try a rotation, or a new ro- to tation. Without research conduc- 1< ted by trained workers, he would c have to enter blindly upon the '< work, and trust to luck that he j to would hit his mark. ,? Maybe, if he were lucky, he would get definite improvement | to the first year. Chances are, how- c ever, that it would require years ; h to achieve the goal he was seek- j0 ing. ;U Such fumbling and groping 5 have been eliminated largely jw through test plots set up in vari- j to ous tobacco-producing section of j P the State. At these places, plant |lf insects and diseases are studied j d closely; rotations are scattered |d about to determine which crops I alternate best with tobacco; fer- j n ! tilizers and fertilizer placement |11 are probed: cultivation practices Si are experimented with; and doz-I" ens of other details concerned |T | with the growing of d crop which je ' brought North Carolina farmers iCl , nearly $120,000,000 last year are j studied. | to ' The work is carried on by; specialists of X.

BTUD I JOE WAI ARN Hand Should To 20 Leaves ind makes difficult proper redryng of tobacco. "Tobacco containing bits of otton twine, used for stringing eaves, is undesirable as foreign natter must be removed before he tobacco is manufactured," the ipecialist declared. "The removal if bits of twine is a tedious and xpensive operation after tobacco las been pressed into hogsheads mt can be easily and cheaply emoved by farmers as the saves are being tied into hands. "Tobacco growers should meet he requirements of the tobacco rade and prepare tobacco for ale in uniform, uncapped hands f 16 to 20 leaves each and take are to remove all bits of twine nd other foreign matter. Tobaco prepared for market in this ,-ay is more attractive to buyers nd usually sells at the highest rices consistent with quality and larket demands." Any number of crops are roated with the golden leaf in two nd three-year rotations to deermine their adaptability to the ask of making or maintaining ood tobacco soil. Corn, cotton, eanuts, wheat, and oats, all rops that rob the soil of valuble plant N food, are employed in esting. Then, the soil-building :gume crops, such as soybeans, rotalaria, vetch, cowpeas, and ispedeza, are alternated with he tobacco to show their effect n yield and quality. On another part of the test arm, fertilizer experiments are onducted. Here the scientists ave watched the effect of time f application and the amount sed. Maybe a rate equivalent to 00 pounds of a 3-8-6 fertilizer as applied at transplanting [me, and the same amount aplied 10 days later. Perhaps the ist application was made 26 ays later in the form of a sideressing. All of these things the research len watch closely. Results are ot always the same, so the ime test is tried several times 1 other sections of the field, hen the experiments are repeatd year after year to make sure onclusions reached are correct. Finally, results that have been jund feasible are passed along j the thousands of Tar Heel toacco farmers. The vastness of the work is learly reflected in the improved uality and better yields of North Carolina tobacco. uHrajBfaHJBfajgraiHJHreragjaEja 1st SAL pening VNES LEA HESTER HOOKS PRUITT .TER PIERC fOLD VAN LOl THl f We j LE Market supplies of truck crops available and in prospect for | early summer continue smaller I than a year earlier, but supplies i of new potatoes are larger, says 1! the U.
