MOD MmM MMSm 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 ues per acre from these two nnn 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. SOUTHERN NATIONAL THE NEWS-JOURNAL, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, varieties were $341 and $768 higher on rotated than non-rotated fields. Two varieties with I low re sistance to the wilt disease re sponded even better to rotation. On fields that had been rotated In tobacco, small grain-fescue, tobacco, the values per acre were higher by $889 for one variety .and $1,147 for another. "When you begin talking In terms of Increasing the value of an acre of tobacco by $1,147, you can see very vividly hist how important rotation is," Todd observes.
