CROP ROTATION
IS IMPORTANT
TO TOBACCO
Bill Rice of the' Walnut Gap
Community has produced a gra
phic demonstration on how crop
rotation -affects Burley tobacco on
land infected with Black Root Rot
disease.
. Mr. Rice plowed up some new
ground, at the edge of his tobacco
field, in which to plant his allot
ment increase. Right now that
tobacco is by far the best and has
all the prospects for producing, by
far more tobacco than his other
land which has been in tobacco for
many 'years.
"It looks, this year, like Burley
farmers are going to have to go to 1
a rotation witn some crop, liKe
corn, which will not support the
Black Root Rot organism, if we
are to continue to produce high
yields of Burley as we have in the
past," Frederick E. Boss, Assis
tant Agent said.

William (Bill) Roberts, chair
man of the Madison County loard
of county commissioners, ' .this
week explained the necessity of
the 20c increase in the county tax
rate over last year's rata of $1.90.
The present rate of $2.10 waa
necessitated because of the fol
lowing items:
Be levy for Development Tax
voted on and approved in May 26
Primary. .
6c levy for county revaluation
purposes.
6c levy for needed repairs on
county courthouse. ; ?
6c levy for new County Garage.
Mr. Roberts stated that the new
county garage, to be constructed
near the Marshall by-pass, will
afford an adequate place for the.
repair of buses and also for the
storage of schoql buses. In the
past, he explained, lack of suit
able quarters made it necessary to
have t h e b u a 4 s "scattered"
throughout the county. ' .'
He also stated ' that superior
court judges had pointed out the
urgent need for 'repairs to the
courthouse and-that the commis
sioners realised, that theser re
pairs were necessary 1 to maintain
a safe and otherwise fine court
house. - - '' y,-,' i
Mr. Roberts also explained that
revaluation of : property through
out the county was dostrpd and
that ae sotm-m wiT 1 vck;vj
can be accumulated, i revaluation
of property would get underway.

FACTS ON IKE OF
MH-30 CHEMICAL
Should I use chemical sucker
control on my tobacco, is a ques
tion being asked many times a
day. Tobacco companies say, no-
tobacco farmers in the larger
tobacco areas are using MH-30 on
all their tobacco. This is not an
indorsement of MH-30. It Is facts
on what it does to tobacco the
best methods of using it akid
some of the effects a grower may
expect, says Harry G. Silver,
county agent.
If you use MH-30, be cautious,
follow instructions, do not expect
results if it rains within 6 to 8
hours after application.
WHAT MH-30 DOES TO
TOBACCO
(1) Increases YIELD and ap
pearance of thickness of leaf.
(2) Decreases filling power of
tobacco lowers nicotine, ash
and alkalinity of tobacco.
(3) Produces an immature bronz
ing of top leaves.
(4) Controls sucker growth
when properly used.
