Matheson asserted this week. In Person county, black shank has been diagnosed on 66 to bacco farms, aocording to Coun ty Agent H. K. Sanders and As sistant Agent C. C. Jackson. Last weekYrafns Tn Orange county proved a boon to farm ers a<t over the county, and especially to the tobacco farm ers whose crop had been seri ously damaged by dry, hot weather of recent weeks. PARTIALLY CONTROLLED Matheson in discussing the black shank disease, said- that it was first noted in the county about four years ago and had been partially controlled by the use* of resistant varieties Ox ford No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. However, this year, Matheson continued, on land which has been planted to these resistant varieties for several years, the resistance seems to have disap pared partially and the tobacco is diseased. black shank appearance. Black shank is similar to to bacco wilt in appearance, kills the roots of the plant and pro duces a black rotted area at the surface of the ground. Matheson said that Ralph Compton, on whose farm the disease was first noted, has ex perimented with resistant va rieties and has proved this year that to control black shank ab solutely a rotation must be car ried out, using small grain or corn for one or more years and fond wing this” with a- reaistgat.. variety. On heavily infested field*— which have been rotated one year with small grain and les pedeza—Compton has scarcely any diseased plants, Matheson related. Whi'j on other fields, how ever, Matheson continued, dVen though he planted Oxford No. 1, a black shank resistant to bacco, Compton has about 10 per cent loss from the disease. L, B.
