In 1642 Nolaska planted two acres of tobacco and due to the Black Shank disease harvested only 800 pounds. This was in ferior in type and- quality. The reet of tt diseased and died in the field, Vhich resulted in a de cided loss. In 1943 Nc*v£" planted a reiic'v.-it v:- • nn ' not one plant • 1 dov... ITa ! • ' r wit'« ili • a disi:-- - .«o. b»t ' ' ! ■• v and quality: '■ ' :if ' - : sold for less than 42 cents per " • pound. Jack Alley experieacd the same with his tobacco. In 1942 he lost 500 plants in 2 acres, and in 1913 he did not lose a plant of the. disease resistant variety. Th : s year Mr. Alloy put two check rows of 100 plants through his field of the variety he commonly planted. Of these, 20 plants out of the hundred died. The Alleys are planning to plant the Black Shank Resistant Tobacco again next year and be lieve this to be the salvation of the crop in diseased areas. The crop this year will net them near ly twice as much as last year's. ALFALFA GROWS WELL IN STOKES COUNTY M: J: Fagg, of Walnut Cove, cut 141 bales of hay from one acre of alfalfa this year. He es "ttimated that it yielded approx imately 7 tons of hay. During the late summer and fall he pas tured a calf on the alfalfa. Mr. Fagg is convinced that this Is a paying crop and resommends It to any farmer in Stokes county. If he were to 3211 this hay he could get at least $40.00 a ton, or $280.00 for the hay grown on the acre. This nearly matches the returns from an asre of tobacco 1 and did not require nearly 30 much work. With hay at its present pric farmers are urged to p!?nt cliai fa this c\ f:o, it ie one of our. best protean f. «."'•} ? n.' can be fed ta r— hogs, per" «to*. * PASTURES I f * Vol ■"•••", a : ; Uchooi £jtud?r> ; In the swj"° v • practical br.."i ' that Moir had the best hv « ture in Stoke* swty.
