Tobacco Specialists
Of Opinion Flea Bug
Damaging Leaf Crop
(Continued from front page)
bought at any drug store or feed
and seed store.
The experts making the study
were E. G. Moss, director of the
state tobacco experiment station,
Oxford; W. A. Shands, director
tobaccco insect study at the sta
tion, and Dr. R. F. Poole, plant
pathologist. State College. They
came into this section of the state
Saturday morning and covered
most of the better tobacco grow
ing counties yesterday and today.
The seriousness of the disaster
is indicated in the urgency with
which Congressman Hancock and
Doughton appealed to the special
ists to make their study and the
quick response they received.
None of the three experts ex
pressed an opinion on how far the
crop of tobacco would be cut.
However, Mr. Brumfield stated
that conceivably the crop could
be cut as much as half arid that
the remainder of the crop natur
ally would not be up to normal
inasmuch as it would be brought
to maturity under such abnormal
conditions.
They visited the farm of J. A.
Oough, six miles south of Elkin,
this afternoon and found tobacco
growing normally on his farm
which had been sprayed accord
ing to the formula given above.
Mr. Moss stated that the Oough
farm had the best crop of tobacco
he had seen since he left the ex
periment station.
It was indicated that other
sprays could be used satisfactor
ily, either as a liquid spray or a
dust spray. One part of paris
green and six parts of hydrated
lime (ordinary slaked lime) used
used as a dust will do the work.
Rotenone (one per cent) can also
be used at the rate of about five
pounds to the acre and is regard
ed as thoroughly effective. The
state specialist at State College al
so has literature which discusses
the problem at length.
With the view of bringing the
problem under control as quickly
as possible, a series of meetings
has been arranged in Yadkin
county for Thursday, June 17,
which will be attended by Dr.
Luther Shaw, plant pathologist
and J. o. Rowell, entomologist, of
State College. The meetings
Thursday will be held at the fol
lowing places at the times indi
cated.
D. E. Whitaker Farm, Center,

All farmers are invited to at
tend these meetings and hear the
discussion of problems relating to
their chief money crop.
