It was announced that Mr. Byrd was to be here last week but cir cumstances prevented his coming. ior the season. The dust or spray application should be applied twice weekly un til the plants are ready for trans planting. Sprayers which develop 150 pounds pressure should be used. Wheelbarrow and bucket type sprayers are especially suited for spraying tobacco plant be'.s. For best efficiency, sprayers should be equipped with 25 to 30 feet of pressure hose and a 7 to 9 foot spray rod extension. Compact motor-driven sprayers are suited to the larger farm operations. For dusting a hand powered crank tje duster equipped with 1 or 2 extra joints of pipe are preferred.

This was done by intro ducing into the medium in which the bacilli were grown, foreign sub stances similar to vitamins in struc ture but not in function. By inter fering with vitamin metabolism, these substances or analogs, in hibited the growth of the bacilli.
