(taper Gives Advice On Handling Weed By CHARLES D. RAPER Columbus County Agent Tobacco curing season is here The most of you have already gotten your lugs or your first and second croppings out of the field. Up to this point you have gone to a lot of trouble and ex pense in making this one of the best tobacco croppings we have had in Columbus County at this season of the year in a number of years. You cannot afford to ii< anything at this time that would decrease the amount of mone> |>ou can get from your crop dur· ing marketing season. You stanc lo ,ost> much of your effort and money that you have put into th< crop by careless harvesting am «•iiring. Many Columbus grower! lose considerable money ant1 quality in their tobacco out ol the field. Ml the major buying eomp;in ! "'s have stated that thev wan' ripe tobacco. So. w strongly ree. lommend that you let your tnlvic jco ripen in the field this year Kipe and green tobacco can no I be cured in the same barn at thi I same time and end up with gone j quality in all of your tobacco, jrealize that you have a labor prnb lem and that you have a ntimhci ι of other problems coming Uj I every week durlnc harvestim season: but if at the same tim, there is a tendency with mos I growers to crop tobacco be fori j >t is mature and to take off toi ( many lower leave it each crop [ριηρ Thi- especially tn»r n-it! t'i" l»«t few croppings. when th market is about to open and yot feel that it is impossible for thi market to open as long as yoi j !'f»ve tobacco in the field. Immature tobacco, even thougl ,« may have a bright color 1 more Inclined to be slick an. ' papery > especially along thi midribs. for a good cure on your rip tobacco you must have uniforn leaves to start with: you deter mine the quality in the field an· not in the curing bain. You cai only cure what you put in th. barn. So. you can only expec to bring out as good quality a you put In. One of the main requirement for a good cure is good air move ment through the bam See t< it that you have good air move ment by checking to see that voi have adequate ventilation in th bottom and top of the barn am enough space between the stick so that air can pass through easl Don't overload the barn Mos : cases it will pay to limit th ' number of leaves to an averag ' of about three, depending on th size of the leaves. Put 30 to 3 jhands per stick and space th ι «ticks about ten Inches apart oi the tier pole. Another must for tobacco grow ers this year is to keep you spray and dust eqiupment read; for action. Check your fiel! every few days for signs of hori worms, bud worms or other in sects. Be on the lookout for firs signs of insect damage and b r*ady to apply treatment a once If pest appears. I realize that tobacco grower have about all the problems tha they need and you want to fin Ish curing your tobacco befor the market opens, but In 1999 think the Important thing In tc bacco production Is to produc food quality tobacco made fror ®ood ripe tobacco and let th market open when It wants tc Let s put It this way — yoa bar done a good Job so far thi* yeai So. why get In such a hurr no»· because you Income depend «*» roe fron), here on out. Wal to the fields and see that you tobacco is tip· before harvest tag. One good way to ten whetf er tobacco Is ripe or not is to sc ■ few leaves burning.
