The world's largest tobacco pro
ducing belt, the Eastern Belt, wal
begin sales on Tuesday, August 2S--
The market opened in 1959 on
August 18. This year's delay is
opening has been brought about by
the late transplanting season which
saw farmers transplanting tobacco
from two to three weeks later than
normal because of big snows and
excellively cold weather which hit
the entire tobacco producing area
this year.
Tobacco plant beds were damaged
to the extent in some areas that new
beds had to be sowed in March.
Despite the late transplanting,
however, tobacco matured rapidly
after transplanting. Here in East
ern North Carolina farmers expert
enced for the first two-thirds of the
growing season the best weather
conditions known to many older far
mers. However, excessive rainfall cam
with tropical storm Brenda, causing"
considerable damage to the one
third of the crop in the field over
the Eastern belt at the time. After
Brenda left too much rain continu
ed to fall and some tobacco was
lost in the field because it ripened)
too fast and farmers did not have
sufficient barn room to handle the
flood of tobacco coming off the
stalk.
Despite this excessive rainfall
toward the end of the harvest sea
son, farmers in general report a
good crop of tobacco.
Official crop reporting services
have estimated the 1960 crop, as
late as August 1, at 22 per cent grea
ter than the 1959 tobacco crop.
The 1959 weed crop was probably
(eontlnuea an ftacJO
tained from this classification
J
of"
fas
roots could be very beneficial
planning an effective control pro
gram, states Ralph Sasser, Assis
tant County Agricultural Agent.
Diseases caused by nematodes
are costing flue-cured growers more
money than any other tobacco dis
ease. In 1959 root-knot and other
nematodes reduced the value of
the crop an estimated 1.8, a loss
of over 7 million dollars.
Root-knot, meadow, and stunt are
the three groups of nematodes that
attack tobacco. Root-knot nemat
odes are considered to be the most
important and are a threat on prac
tically every farm in Duplin Coanty.
Quite often all three types of nema
todes are found in the same field.
This makes it advisable for you to
consider all three problems in plan
ning your control program. There
fore, you need to study the problem
in each field and plan a control
program based on your findings
Such a program should consist of
plowing out tobacco stubbles im
mediately following harvest, plan
ning a good rotation for tobacco,
and fumigating if needed. Many
farmers are using soil fumigant
when they don't need it. Thus cost
ing money in material, labor and in
a number of cases injury to the to
bacco plants, resulting in a diseas
ed yield. On the other hand, many
growers who are not fumigating
should be because of the extremely
high nematode count in their tobac
co fields.
