The loss to die' farmers in-the
southern part of the county from the
effects of the tobacco wilt, has as
sumed such serious proportions and
is increasing to such an extent each
year that the County Commisioners
alert to the interest of the County,
Slave induced the Commissioner of
Agriculture, Maj. W. A. Graham, to
end the Agronomist of the Dpart
nent, Prof. James L. Burgess,, to the
county to look into the situation,
cee what steps can be taken to
confer with the board of commission
era and other farmers of the county
to see what steps can be taken to
check the ravages of the disease. Mr.
Burgess lias had experience in check
ing the flax wilt that was so disas
trous in Dakota and the tomato wilt
.and kindred diseases in various parts
of the country, and conies to cur De
partment with the highest recom
mendations.
He appeared before the Board of Com;
missioners on last Monday and made j
Ja. short address, which stamped him
as a man of high order of ability and
thoroughly conversant with agri
culture and the diseases to which
-our crops are subject. While he did
:ot assert postively he could stamp
-tout the tobacco wilt, he .tated( that
much could be done to check it and
prevent the spreading of it pver the
county.
He also stated that the tobacco
crop could be greatly improved ay
Ihe proper selection of seed; that it
had been tried successfully in Ken
tucky and in other counties the value
of the tobacco crop had been enhan
ced $40 per acre by the selection of
seed. He also called attention to
the improvement in the yield of corn
jn this and other states by proper
selection of seed com and stated in
crease in the yield of tobacco would
Jae as great or greater if the seed
were properly selected. He says a lit
Jtie machine has been invented which
-will test the seed by specific gravity,
and those who have used it are
greatly pleased with it.
The Commissioners were so greatly
impressed with the value of the sug
gestions made by Prof. Burgess that
they requested him to return to
the county and make an address to
ihe farmers upon the tobacco wilt
-and kindred diseases of plants, and
-upon selection of tobacco .seed. He
stated he would be glad to come,
8ut his , engagements w-ere such he
wjould not have a day to spare be
fore February 10 or 12.
As Dutchville township is. more. af
fected than any other by the wiilt,
4he Commissioners decided to call a
mass meeting of the tobacco growers
of the county at Creedmoor on Fab.
30 or 12 (the exact day will be giv
en later) to meet and hear Prof.
Burgess. Nor more important step
has been taken by the Commission
ers in several years and we congrat
ulate them upon inaugurating this
movement.
Mr. Burgess in accepting the invita
tion said he would bring with him a
iobacco seed tester, and would on
that day test without charge all
the tobacco seed the farmers would
fcring in. So let every, farmer who
attends, bring with him his seed,
which he expects to sow this year
nd get the benefit of this offer." It
may mean much to him.
