n Because black shank and Gran-
^ ville wilt are now prevalent to
some extent in every major tobac
co-producing county in the State,
it will be more of a problem than
ever for Tar Heel growers to
choose the right variety of tobac
co for next year.
Tobacco Specialists R. R. Ben
nett of the State CoUege Exten
sion Service and C. J- Nuri)auin
of the Agricultural Experiment
Station say that rotation and use
of resistont varieties are the two
measures being used to fight these
dread diseases. Rotation, they
point out, helps by reducing in
festation in the soil and giving
support to resistant varieties.
The resistant varieties, all re
leased by the Experiment Station
a year ago, are Dixie Bri|^t 101
and 102, which have resistance to
both black shank and Granville
wilt, and Dixie Bright 27, which
has resistance to Granvilie wilt
only.
Dixie Bright 101 has shown
moderate resistance to black shank
and high resistance to Granville
wilt. It yields about like 400 and
Yellow Special, is of good qual
ity, and cures to a b^ght lemon
color. The leaves are spaced mo
derately wid% apart on the stalk
and are somewhat tender under
very favorable growing conditions.
Plants should be spaced about 18
to 20 inches in the drill and top
ped high; Ihe variety seems to
be adapted to a wide range of
soils and growing conditions.
Dixie Bright 102 has sho,wn
high resistance to both black
shank and Granville wilt in North
Carolina. It is .a moderate yielder,
about like Oxford 26. is thinner
than Oxford 26, and of ;high quai
ls. The leaves are spaced wide
apart the stalk. Plants should
be set about 18 inches in the drill
and topped high. Dixie Bright
102""dries easily during curing and
needs to dry rather rapidly lor
best lemon color.
The third new variety, Dixie
Bright 27, is not resistant to black
shank but has resistance to Gran
ville wilt about equal to that of
Oxford 28. A strong feeder, its
yield is greater tha nthat of Oxford
26, especifdly, on li^t soils. It is
nOt as brittle as Oxford 26 and its
leavesare close spaced.. on 4 the
stalk. Spacing of 20 to 22 inches
in the drill is advised. ^
Bennett and Nusbaum point out
that many growers,have experi
enced heavy losses with the first
appearance of block shank, in
cases where non-resistant varie
ties were being used. They urge
growers to conrider the use of a

resistant variety in communities
where black sTiank or Granville.^
wilt is prevalent even thou^ the
disease may not be in all fields
or on the farm in gueriion.
Two ""'years’ . experience has
shown that the yield and value
per acre of Dixie Bright 101 are
an improvement over many of
the non-resistant varieties being
grown at present Thus, say Ben
nett and Nusbaum, a grower may
not have to sacrifice anything in
switching to this variety and thi;S
reducing his chances of heavy
loss the first year a disease ap

Farm Questions
QUESTION: How often should
soil tests be made on a particular
field?
ANSWER: Soil should be tested
almut every four or five years.
Tliis is frequent enough to keep
the soil at the proper lime level
and allows the farmer to deter
mine if his fertilization program
is adequate for his crop rotation.
The supply of lim6,.,phosphorus,
or potash in the soil does not
change raifidly. Hence soil test
ing should be considered on a long
time basis. For example, if a soil
is low'in potash the crops will
need a high potash fertilizer for
a few years.
Complete directions for tak
ing soil samples'mpy be obtained
from any county farm agent.
QUESTION: Is it any more
trouble to produce good hatching
eggs than good market eggs?
ANSWER: The only difference
between good hatching eggs and
good market eggs is fertilization.
Therefore, if you are selling to a
hatchery and following good man
agement practices to produce high
quality eggs and you have the
right number of 'good breeding
moles, you shpiild' be delivering
eggs of high hdtchdbility to your
hatcheryman. In ’ order to have
good hatching eggs, most poul-
t^men should feed a special
breeding ration. A regular laying
mash usually does' not have the
the necessary nutrients to produce
high hatchability.
