' t f ' ' t tobacco production
i i I"r. is' farm has been in
t ,1.0 fur 18 years. The tobacco
id .this field was slow , growing
off in 1960. E. M. did not expect
the same trouble in 1961 and put
the same land in tobacco. A small
increase in allotment added one
row of tobacco' in land not used
for tobacco in 1960. Early in Ju
ly the new row of tobacco was 40
inches tall while the black root rot
injured tobacco was only 4 to 8
inches tall.. . The stunted tobacco
had a very poor root system. The
plant bed roots were stubby, brown
or black, and new roots were being
put on higher up the root. 1 ' '
