^Repairs Plan * Often Mentix WASHINGTON _ Every* body talk* about it But few know just where the MasonDixon Line runs, and fewer still how it came about. in popular American parlance, the Mason-Dixon boundary divides North from South ?an assumption based largely oji the mistaken belief that during the Civil War it separated the Confederate States from the Union. In fact, the line was drawn to end an early colonial land dispute. It extends, from east to west, between Pennslyvania and Maryland, with a shorter branch reaching southward between Maryland and Delaware. All three states were on the Union side. K The old border is again in the news because of plans to restore its markers for a 200th-anniversarv celebration in 1963.

This temperature is just right for plant bed fumigation Successful production of the flue-cured tobacco depends upon an ample supply ol strong healthy plants, available reasonably early in the trans planting season, free of dis eases. When small spindly or unhealthy tobacco plants art used to set a crop, a pom stand often results; plants be come an easy prey for diseases and insects, thus production costs go up and profits gc down Hence, tobacco plant production is one of the most important phases of tobacct culture The use of calcium cyana mide and calcium cvanamidc plus urea as tobacco bed soil treatment to control weeds has mad" a possible reduction in labor cost. Moreover, it ha< enabled growers to locate plant beds on the most desirable sites available While these treatments have been success ful for many growers, other* have encountered weed control failures, poor stands, stunted plants and root diseases. These beds have become a breeding ground for disease organisms Numerous cases have been re ported where field infestation' of root knot or black shank have come from infested plant beds Various chemicals were used to control weeds and the above mentioned diseases in the plant bed Of all the mater ials used. Methyl Bromide ha? been the most outstanding Ac cording to research done bv our Tobacco Research Station Methyl Bromide Gas will hut definitely give excellent con trol of weeds, nematodes and black shank diseases in the plant bed. when applied cor rectly. To treat 100 square yards ol tobacco bed soil, you will neec 9 pounds of methyl bromide gas.
