Hundreds cf millions of dollars.
To tobacco production and harv

lions more in profits Nickels are
battling the major tobacco foes of
black shank, nematodes, wireworm
and weeds. They've supported the
development of irrigation of toba

yield more than $300. And they've
backed progress on bulk curing,
which will bring tremendous chan

this summer for the first time on a
private farm-near Laurinburg.
Nickels funds $1,164,325 collected
through 1959 - are divided lour
ways:
Extension and education, produc

and basic research.
Nickels have supported 48 pro

all could well mean the difference
between .success or failure for thou

project. It has resulted in annual
savings of $20 million because of re

All told, it's estimated tkat Nick

boosts of well over $100 million for
Tar Heel tobacco growers.
Current and future research is
keyed to farm, home, community
and market problems bath great

affect people as consumers or fam

other vital to the improvement of
major crops and livestock. And
there are many dedicated to solving
complex problems of major sup

Nickels are supporting progress in
the fields of genetics, dairy eat tie
breeding, animal nutrition, vegeta

poultry physiology, withchweed, al

breeding, cotton marketing, milk
production, soybeans and forage
