If it is necessary to add additional nitrogen on your plant bed, use 3 to 5 pounds of Nitrate of Soda per 100 square yards. Dis solve this in 50 gallons of water and put on bed, then wash off the plants with clear water. For best results .apply 2 or 3 times instead of one heavy application. If plants are very dry, granular Nitrate of Soda can be applied by scattering over the bed without dissolving in water. Brush over the plants with a broom. Varieties . 1. Kentucky 16 has given the best results over the entire county Also, Kentucky 41-A, 35, 56, and in some cases, Tennessee ! can be used. 2. It is suggested that all farm ers visit the variety demonstrations in the county during the summer to see the results with the differ ent varieties. Cultural Practices 1. It is suggested that a hand plant setter be used in setting out plants, as generally better stands are obtained, and the plants will usually grow oft" quicker. 2. Plants should be selected and graded carefully at transplanting time. 3. Small plants should not be set out between two large plants. 4. Have land in good shape be fore setting. 5. Replant early and frequent ly after transplanting to secure a perfect stand and avoid irregular growth. Fertilization 1. It is recommended that 500 to 800 pounds of 3-9-6 or 3-9-9 fer tilizer be used where 8 to 10 tons of manure is used in fertilizing and a cover crop such as vetch, crimson clover, and rye has been used. It is recommended that from 1000 to 1200 pounds per acre of 3-9-6 or 3-9-9 fertilizer be used where no manure has been applied and a cover crop has been turned under, 2.

Ill Life begins at 40, the saying goes. Therefore who's too old to work? According to a survey by the University of Illinois labor and industrial division. Persons 45 years Of age or older are finding it easier to get work. The survey says employers are finding that workers over 45 have fewer days of .absenteeism, pro ductivity declines only gradually after the at;e of 40, older workers have few accidents and injuries than younger workers, and older workers have experience, patience and judgment. - TUBELESS TIRE "TAKES IT if The Jesuits are said to have per feeted cultivation in Paraguay of the yerba tree, from which the drink .verba male is made.

I 3. Set out tobacco 13 to 14 inches in the drill in 4-foot rows if you plan to prime it, and 16 to 18 inches in the drill using 3'9" rows if you do not plan to prime it. Dem- onstartions prove ii iarmer can make about $200 additional nio"ey per acre by priming his tobacco once or twice, depending on the season, Topping 1. Top high when plants are i pretty well bloomed out. If labor is plentiful, top in late bud stage fori maximum yield and value per acre. ; Cutting: 1. Be sure your tobacco is ripe . before it is cut. Spearing the stalk . is the fastest, and very satisfactory when tobacco is cut in good curing weather. Splitting the stalk will make it cure out faster in unfavor able curing weather. Do not cut tobacco on days when the north or j east wind is blowing. j 2. Use a tomahaw k knile for an ; easy and fast way to cut lobacco. Caring- of Tobacco From Field to Barn ; 1. Leaving cut and speared to bacco in the field for two to four days, if weather is favorable, is worth two weeks of barn curing. 2. Avoid leaving tobacco out in the rain. 3. If tobacco is frost bitten, leave out a few days for the sun and dew to leach out the green. 1 4. Do not overcrowd in the barn. Use five to six large stalks of tobacco per stick and space the sticks 8 to 12 inches apart on the tier depending on the. size of the tobacco. 5. If possible, improve your barn so as to have a modern type building with a dirt floor and 13 or more of the side boards hinged for ventilation. Have the long side square with the prevailing wind. Much work should be done on our tobacco barns in the county, since we lose many hundreds of dollars each year as a result of poor cur ing conditions in the barns, 6. Tobacco should not be crowd ed on sticks or sticks on tiers. The Cecil News MRS. J. EDGAR BURNETTE Mountaineer Correspondent Pvt. Bernard Singleton, son of i Mr. and Mrs. Claude Singleton, land Pvt.

In this destructive spike-board test one spike, under neath, has completely pierced the tire and another, right, is about half way through. But air docs not leak out of the tire. A gummy inner layer of special rubher which "surrounds" the piercing objects, then closes the hole when they are withdrawn, gives the new tin its self sealing ability. B. F.

' Grading; and Sorting ' This is one of the most im portant phases of handling tobac co. We spend much time growing, cutting, and curing it, so we should spend some time getting it graded and sorted correctly. Remember tobacco must be graded as it is grown on the stalk. Each tobacco grower should have a place to class his tobacco if pos sible, so he can class it in bad, cold weather, and he should use an ap proved light, The best way to han dle tobacco as it is classed or grad ed is to put it on sticks and take it to market on sticks. Since tobac co is controlled, there is a support price; and to get the most money out of it, it must be graded and sorted correctly, so as to secure the top grade and highest possible sup port price. Suggestions for getting the above recommendations carried out are: I. Have tobacco stops on com munity, county, and out-of-state tours. ' . 2. Cooperate with the director of the State Test Farm in putting on a Tobacco Field Day. . 3. Recommend to the Merchants Association that the Tobacco Harv est Festival be continued: 4. Hold demonstrations on grad ing and sorting of tobacco in the count v. 5. Have demonstrtaions on the rnntrol Of wildfire and blue mold and send every producer of tobac co a card telling how this can be controlled. r H a v demonstrations on weed control in plant beds. 7. Put out variety and fertiliza tion demonstrations. 8. Hold a tobacco school on cul tural practicest diseases, and in sects of tobacco. Also carry this type of information in the papers and on the radio. 9. H old demonstrations on priming and stripping Burley to bacco. ate lddi This ledirooin Group y III "' " .'
