1 Qualities. There is no single
iety that : will produce all of
s desired kinds and qualities,
re fore, there is a real need for
veral different varieties to be
nted in 1998 in order to more
!y supply the different tobaccos
--'d for the' trade today. '
here it will not cause toq much
nvenience, it is suggested that
wers plant their allotment in
o or more varieties. This will
ake a contribution to the market-
program by providing the buy
3 companies with a wider choice
t kinds and qualities. This ar
ngement will not always make
e most money for a grower but
: t the same time it might reduce
. i losses at other times. Va
i .s respond differently to dif
, rent weather and soil conditions
- 1 by splitting up the acreage
if several varieties the risk is
A.t3 to some extent. " ' '
u) Tobacco diseases are a real
oblem in this - area, especially
.ck Shank, and ; growers will
nt to select varieties and arrange
r rotations so as to avoid, if
: all possible, losses from diseases,
'ere. is -a' tendancy for growers
. want to grow some of the popu
- non-resistant; varieties since
se varieties have quality charac
istics in heavy demand by the
ying companies. However, it is
ggested- that growers hot take
ndue rink with non-resistant va
rieties..:'!. Growers who cari plant
such varieties on land that has not
had tobacco on It for several years
and if the land has not had a di
sease history on it may he able
to successfully plant such a variety.
2ven then, It is not considered too
safe to plant the entire allotment
in a non-resistant variety.
Where B non-resistant variety is
jrown, be sure to treat the plant
bed with, Methyl bromide and then
try to prevent water from running
across the beds and recontaminat
ing It ' Taking disease, free plants
to the field is-absolutely essential
"a non-resistant variety .is .used.
Varieties which carry a low level
of disease resistance should be used
cautiously also. Such varieties
should be supported by a well
planned rotation of sufficient
length to insure little If any loss
;rom disease
There is a need for the planting
f a 'some non-resistant varieties
md some Of tha varieties carrying
i low level of resistance but each
-ower should carefully study bis
ation and use such varieties on
where it appears reasonably safe
.r him to do so . 1 ' '
(4) One of the points emphasized
ver the years is that the acreage
lanted to any new variety should
t make up too high a percentage
the total flue-cured acreage the
rst year. Also, it is generally best
r a farmer not to plant his entire
lotment In a new variety the
i st year it is released. Over the
n grun, this policy vlll probably
rry less risk forindlvidual , grow
s and the overall tobacco pro
am. It will give the buying com
mies sufficient time to become fa-
i mitK vsHetv bpfnre too
t an acreage is planted. ' .
American flue-curea tobacco
ionally has enjoyed , a repu
i of superiority in flavor and
i as compared to tobaccos
i in other countries. '' This is
imp card that American
s must play to the fullest ex
?'iey hope to compete sucr

basis. This fact should

: (7) The tobacco variety seed mix
tip created severe problems in 1997
for many farmers. Such a mix, up
was regretable . and everyone is
anxious to avoid a similar situatioa
in 1958. It is suggested that grow
ers exercise every precaution Pos-
slble beginning with procurementplants.
