Committee Suggests
Tobacco Fertilizers
Recommendations for the fertiliza
tion of flue-cured tobacco soils in
1942 have just been announced by
the Agronomy Tobacco Work Con
ference, of which C. B. Williams, N.
C. State College agronomist, is chair
man.
Each year a committee of out
standing agronomists of North and
South Carolina, Florida, Georgia and
Virginia meets to study tobacco fer
tilization and to pass along suggest
ed improvements to the leaf growers
of their states.
For the heavier or more product
ive soils, the committee recommends
a mixture of three per cent total ni
trogen, 10 per cent available phos
phoric acid, and six to 12 per cent
potash, to be applied at the rate of,
800 to 1,000 pounds to the acre. Rec
ommendation for lighter or less pro
ductive soils is the same, except that
the pohsphoric acid content is eight
to 10 per cent.
Where the tobacco has a tendency
to be rough or of poor quality, the
agronomists suggested that the ni
trogen be reduced to two per cent.
For such conditions, two per cent to
tal nitrogen, 10 to 12 per cent avail
able phosphoric acid and six to 12
per cent potash is suggested. Rate
of application remains at 800 to 1,000
pounds to the acre.
Williams said experiments have
indicated that potash has an im
portant influence on yield and qual
ity of flue-cured tobacco. So the
committee suggested that when less

WARS ARK FOLLOWED BY
SUC H AS THIS:
Only great-grandparents can re
m fern bey this picture of the long ago.
July 2, 1806. the Wilmington Dis
patch featured destruction in the
South as pictured by a correspond
ent of the Chicago Tribune. Although
the Wilmington editor had seen, read
and written much concerning devas
tation ..and poverty, he was astonish ?
id by the conditions reported by the
Chicago paper.
The Tribune's reported related
what he experienced investigating
conditions in the famine stricken re
gions where the Civil War had
wrought total destruction, lie ap
proached a rural cabin, and observ
ed several children sitting around ill
clothes that were, only an excuse for
undergarments. Two women with
"emaciated countenances" were pick
ing wild vegetables.
Determined to hear their story, he
approached . one of them with a
frinedly request, "Madam, could you
accommodate me with dinner?"
The woman answered, "Clod knows
I would not turn a traveler away."
Tears began to Trickle down her
'"gfcr,
cheeks as she continued, "But there
has not been an ounce of meal in
the house for five days; we have
lived entirely upon boiled greens
with neither salt nor pepper."
"How many children have you?"
"Throe." she answered, "and this
lady has two more; all are small, as
you see. We have no. way to live. We
cannot even get seed to plant our
garden. How we are to live, God only
knows."
To avoid a second shock that day.
the Tribune's correspondent passed
up the other huts; but he met a fee
ble old woman, who was carrying a I
half bushel of meal.
"Madam, are you nit too old to be
carrying such a load?"
"I have toted it eighteen miles," |
was her reply. The old lady explain
ed that both her sons had been killed ,
in the war. and that one of her
daughters-in-law had died. This left
four children under nine years of
age; and to keep them from starv
ing. she had brought this food 18
miles.
Another interview was with a wo
man who was seeking relief from the
place at which rations were dealt
out to the pi>or."
The inquiring reporter questioned.
"Do you get enough here to relieve
you?"
"Yes. sir, enough to keep us from
dying. We get a little meal, nothing
else. Meat we do not expect; we are
glad to get enough food to keep us
from dying."
This could easily be a picture of
Europe today. Has it been said. "His
tory repeats"?
CARD OF THANKS
Since it is impossible for me to
thank-every one personally, I wish
I to take this opportunity to express
I my sincere appreciation to each and
every one who so kindly rendered
their service in every way to me in
my recent illness at home and at
the local hospital. I especially want
to thank every one and Dr. Brown
