Leaf spot-.dis cases of tobacco, which take a heavy toll in North Carolina each season, may . be controlled by treating the seed with a formaldehyde solution before planting in. the seed bed. , G. W. Fant, plant' disease specialist at State college, finds that 1 angular leaf spot and wildfire are two. of the most serious of these leaf diseases of tobacco and he gives a serios of six suggestions which - may be used together . to help , in controlling the troubles . ' V, - "i ' ;'' ' ..- ; First, he states, where the crop has been troubled with leaf spot diseases in previous years, select a new loca tion for the plant- bed on Jand that is well ' drained. Second, treat the seed before planting with a formalde hyde solution prepared by mixing one tazlespoonful of, the chemical with one pint of water. This solutkmmay be placed in a glass jar and the seed dipped in, using a cheese cloth sack or bag. The seed , must be kept in the solution for exactly ten minutes after which they are - removed,:-washed thoroughly and dried. s Next, it is wise to either boil the old ' plant bed covers .or buy new ones. Fourth,, only the best plants which arc free from any leaf spot should be set in the field. ( Five, remove from the field and burn any plants showing " signs - of mosaic or "calico" so that 1 leaf spot 'troubles will no J be spread.. . . . And, finally, Mr. Fant states that several of the more common tobacco diseases are known to live over in the soil from one season to the next. It is therefore important that a ro tation of crops be practiced on the to uv.u -u.- - iui "is -'auvisaoie irom the standpoint of fertility of the land as well as . for disease control .
