Bright Leaf Faces
World Competition
Flue-cured tobacco, worth $363,
000,000 to North Carolina farmers
last year and comprising about 40
per cent of the blend in most popular
brand cigarettes, faces the definite
threat of reduced world consumption
unless production of high quality leaf
is maintained, it was indicated by Dr.
W. W. Garner of Washngton, D. C,
the world's most eminent tobacco au
thority who is appearing as principal
speaker at a series of five meetings in
as many state tobacco centers on suc
cessive Wednesday nights.
Dr. Garner cited three principal
practices which will assure continued
world popularity for the state's bright
leaf: '
Permanent plantbeds on sterilized
soil;
Eliminate "over-fertilization" and
the use of fertilizers containing too
much chlorine;
Continue to top and sucker tobacco
so that the leaf wiwll hold sufficient
quantities of sugar and nicotine.
"You have a type of tobacco that
has never been equalled in populari
ty," Dr. Garner declared, "and while
all the world wants this type, you
may be sure that other nations will
seek to grow bright tobacco." Manu
facturers, it was added, will reduce
