COUNTY AGENT SEES NO CUR T AILMENT OF PLANT ING TOBACCO MAY BE INCREASE Bark To Farm Movement May Cause Even Greater Produc tion, He Says by V. C. Taylor, Co. Agent There have been a number of requests to me to express my opinion of the outlook for tobac co in Surry couty this year. In talking with farmers from prac tiically all sections of the couuty I have come to the conclusion that there will be practically no difference in the acreage planted In tobacco this as compared to last year. There will be a de crease in acreage planted by far mers who were farming last year However I think that this will be offset by a movement back to the farm of people who have been -working in town. This movement back to the farm may cause a slight increase in acre age in tobacco, however it will be very small, if any. If there is an increase I do not think be over 5% v On account of the low price of tobacco last year, and the price of fertilizer this year being prac tically the same, there may be a tendency among some farmers to reduce the amount of fertilizer used per acre. This would be a .serious mistake, as a reduction in amount- of-fertilizer- ' per acre would likely produce a low er quality of tobacco, which would bring-a lower price. This year farmers should use every possible effort to produce a good quality of tobacco as there will be an Increase in the acreage in tobacco planted this year, and | where tobacco is grown for the first time, in sections where they have been growing cotton, it will more than likely be a low grade |of tobacco. This of course would cause the low grades of tobacco to sell low again next year. Therefore let me urge every far jmer who plants tobacco to use a I good high grade of fertilizer, 'and use from 800 to 1000 lbs. jper acre and make every effort to make a good quality of tobac |co thisyear, because-good tobac co has always sold for a fair ['fertilizer bill this spring, then . price. If you want to reduce the i fertilizer bill this spring, then cut the acreage accordingly, and plant the remaining arceage to corn or hay crops, of a legume for soil improvement crops. There is no profit in tobacco that sells at ten cents and below, lets 1 produce just as little of this quality of tobacco as possible this year. In order to produce good to bacco It is necessary to have good plants, therefore they should be given every care in the bed. Should the flea beetle attack the plants in the bed, following poison should be used one pound of Paris green with 5 pounds of arsenic of lead, use at the rate of 1-2 lb., per square yard as a dust. Or if a liquid spray is preferred use 1 1-2 to two tablespons of the above mix ture to 3 gallons of water. The number of sprays will depend on the rainß etc. Cover the plants well with the spray. The above mixture has been found to control the flea-beetle better than any other mixture, there fore do not use substitutes.
