Tobacco Diseases Spreading to' ;
New I'ieids
Jar.ies F. Bu'.lcck, Agent o;"
the U. S. D. A. here this week
!
Ito inspect tobacco fields found
, that fro m a few fields discovere
Ito be infested with GranvilU
Wilt a few years since, this
j trouble has spread to new lands.
The same thing can be said re
j garding Black Shank, Southern
jHoot Rot and Root Knot. Bul
jlock stated that Leaf Spot anc
I Black Fire, known generally a£
; deficiency diseases, probably ar
[worse than usual because of thi
' unfavorable season.
Fortunately, though serious,
these di&eases are still limited to
a small number of local farmers I
and the annual loss resulting
from these is much smaller than
in many sections of the state.
Bullock suggests A hat farmer.-
who find their tobacco infested
i with Black Rot, Sore Shin, Gran
| Ville Wilt and Root Knot, should
•by aH-raeaas adopt crop rotations
'as a means of controlling these
| troubles. He says: "To continue
'to plant tobacco on fields known
to be infested with ths&a dis
eases simply means that the
trouble will bet::.me worse an
the losves sustained year afttr
! year v/ill become greater." "H
--1 recommends thtii tobacco be fol
lowed by rye. seeded with Rad
on !Hrr:k' Gra>s > and suggests
.hat the rye may be either hav
vesl:d or allowed to fall down
on the land for sol improvement
he secotd year, after which the
"tan j shoal d remaju in Redtop the
third and fourth yea 11. Then r.
may safely go ba-Jk to tobacco.
;Ht says: "This fnui year rota
j '.ion will greatly reduce disease
trubbles and if carried out over
a period of years v.Y.I check the
di&exse anil produce higher
I quality at a lower cuss."
! Bullock also suggests planting
tobacco early and using fertilizers
with a higher perce&tteige of
potash hi proportion to the ni
trate. He says that practice
will prove favorable in seducing
I leaf spot troubles. Late jpbintinge
, show more leaf spot.
Bullock took occasion while!
! I
here to compliment local fanners
ion the large amount of line
tobacco found In every section
,of the county. He snya that on
every farm visited, even those
|in which disease troubles were
I most pronounced, he found fields
lof high quality tobacco and
I took .occasion to compliment
several of the growers on the

;To Consider Farm Organization
