NOW NOTICED
IN TOBACCO
In the past few weeks we have
been having an unusual amount
of weather flecking in our tobacco
is. Weather fleck or physiolo
gical leafspot is recognized by
small, brown (early stage) to
whits spots (late stage) scattered
over the leaf surface. The num
ber of lesions on a leaf varies con
siderably from a few to several
hundred, depending upon the seve
rity of the disease. It has been
affecting mostly the lower leaves
and in many cases, they have been
completely destroyed.
Ozone has been found to be the
primary causal agent. The re
sults of research tests indicate
'that symptoms show up within 24-
48 hours after exposure to this
chemical.
A small amount of ozone is pre
sent in the atomsphere. This a
mount is greater in the upper at
mosphere than it is nearer the
ground. It is believed that under
normal conditions, there is not
enough present to produce symp
toms on tobacco. However, dur

high humidity, .it is heBeved (hat
ozone is earned downward in a-
mounts high enough' to canse in
jury on tobacco. A concentration
of 0.25 parts pef million will in

exposure.
It seems that weather fleck oc
curs most commonly when the
plant is growing fairly rapidly,
coupled with low night tempera
tures. This indicates why it has
been worse on our larger tobacco
in the county.
There is no control for weather

An important change has re
cently been made made in U. S.
D. A.'s regulations governing the
division of farm acreage allot

sey, ASCS office manager for
Madison County, this change per
mits the owner of the farm to de
termine, within certain limitations,
the amount of the farm allotment
to be transferred with farm land
which he sells for agricultural
purposes. The change gives con
siderably mora flexibility hi di
viding farm allotments where por
tion (s) of a farm are sold than
prior regulations permitted and
is more in line with the method
that moat farmers feel k
be, Ramsey said.
