Good Job With Old Methods
Can Boost Tobacco Income
Tobacco growers looking for
new ways to cut costs and in
crease net income might be
more successful if they made
sure they were doing a good
job with the old methods.
Some of these production
practices may have become so
time-worn that they fall unno
ticed from the overall scheme
ot things and are forgotten.
Reducing disease losses by
changing tobacco fields may be
one of these overlooked prac
tices. "I don't knowofanotherprac
tice of any kind that costs the
farmer so little for the gain he
receives in return," comments
Furney Todd, extension tobacco
disease specialist at North
Carolina State University.
"Crop rotation Is considered
one of the oldest and most ef
fecti ve management tools to re
duce losses to diseases and in
sects," he adds.
Todd believes there is a real
danger in 1968 that farmers
will become overconfident about
diseases and maybe even care
less in planning their control,
this could result in a sharp
increase in disease losses.
It was estimated that about
85 per cent of all flue-cured
growers changed or rotated to
bacco fields in 1967 as compar
rfinirn3
ed to 45 to 50 per cent in 1966,
Disease losses were reduced
by $3 million.
On the other hand, burley
growers generally didn't fol
low a rotation plan. Their los
ses Increased more than $100,
000. The value of rotation is fur
ther documented In results from
tests conducted by North Caro
lina State University.
In blackshank and root knot
nematode tests, results Indi
cated that a two-year rotation
involving corn or small grain
fescue gave practical control of
both diseases.
Value was increased $498 for
a corn-tobacco rotation and
$528 for a small grain-fescue-tobacco
rotation over contin
uous tobacco
The planting of disease re
sistant varieties Is another in
surance the farmer has against
disease losses. But even when
these resistant tobacco lines
are used, rotation has been
shown to save the farmer mon
ey. Four varieties resistant to
Granville wilt were tested on
rotated and non-rotated fields.
Two of these varieties had a
high resistance level. The val

JUST TAKE A LOOK AROUND.
One fancy new savings plan not only requires
90 days notice of withdrawal, but requires a
specific amount of deposit. Another requires no
withdrawal notice, but you must forfeit inter
est unless money is held to maturity date. Still
another plan compounds interest only once per
quarter. And of course, they all require large
minimum deposits.
WHERE WILL IT ALL END? ..
Right here at Southern National. Instead of
making rules for your money, we believe in
making things easier. So we've worked out a
plain passbook plan that eliminates all those
fancy rules and requirements. Here it is :
1. No minimum deposit.
2. No notice required for withdrawal.
3. Daily interest earned from day of deposit.
4. Interest calculated daily.
5. Interest compounded monthly.
6. Interest credited monthly.
7. Deposit any amount, any time.
8. Deposit by the 10th, earn from the 1st.
9. Automatic transfer from checking to sav
ings, on request.
10. Funds insured up to $15,000 per account.
11. Highest interest rate on passbook savings
allowed by law.
THE PAYOFF.
Of course, some of the fancy plans pay a little
higher interest rate than we do. But because
we post daily, compound and credit monthly,
there's really little difference when it comes to
the interest you earn. But there's a world of
difference when it comes to convenience.
Southern National's plain passbook plan. It
won't tie you down with a lot of fancy rules
and requirements.

"When you begin talking In

you can see very vividly hist
how important rotation is,"
Todd observes.
