is impressed with the results, although
he said yesterday that he would not
go all out and advise adoption of the
plan without a more widespread ex
perimentation. Should it work sat
isfactorily under a variety of condi
tions all kinds of seasons, on all
kinds of land and with various var
ieties of tobaccos there could be no
other conclusion but that it will be
a definite advancement, he said.
Mitchiner said that burley tobacco
growers use a modified form of this
principle and get tremendous yields
of tobacco of good quality. In most
instances, of course, they use stronger
land and color is not nearly so im

No-Suckering Crop
Of Tobacco Grown
At Kernersville
Raleigh, N. C C. A. ("Cy" Fulp,
Route 1, Kernersville, has introduced
what appears likely to prove one of
the most revolutionary work-saving
principles ever applied to the culture
of tobacco a solution for the sucker.
ing problem, S. R. Mitchiner. assis
tant Forsyth County farm agent, said
yesterday.
For the past two years, Fulp has
been growing tobacco without suck
ers. In 1943 he tried the plan on
a moderate scale. In 1944, he tried it
again and kept accurate records. He
found that it worked.
In his experimentation, Fulp al
lows his tobacco to button out and
then breaks off all but three or four
buttons. He then strips all leaves off
the stalk from the level to which
he normally would have topped the
plant. The result has been that the
tobacco matures a few seed pods,
matures all of the leaves left on the
stalk and makes little effort, if any
to put out suckers.
By way of determining whether he
was making or losing money, Fulp
kept figures on a field of 2.2 acres
in 1944 on which he conducted his
experiment. He harvested 3.260
pounds of tobacco, or an average of
1,482 pounds of tobacco. This to
bacco averaged cents a pound,
brought $648.09 per acre.
On another field, 3.9 acres of iden
tical soil, with identical fertilizer
and identical treatment in every way
except for the treatment of the top of
the plant, he raised 4,784 pounds of
tobacco, or an average of 1,226
pounds. He realized only $536.02 per
acre from this field. In other words,
under the new process, with substan
tially less work, he realized $117.07
more per acre.
Fulp plans to turn to this type of
culture entirely in the future.
