Profits Drop When Leaf Count High Tall tobacco thickly planted In the row may make the most Impressive looking tobacco field but not necessarily the most profitable. Studies of topping height and plant spacing at North Carolina State University have produced results which emphasize the Importance of number of leaves per acres. The acre with the highest leaf count isn't always the most profitable. Or. Bill Collins and S. N. Hawks, extension tobacco spe cialists at N. C. State, say that a per acre leaf count of over 120,000 leaves may result in diminishing cash returns to the grower. In three years of tests, re sults show that where leaf num ber per acre was varied by changing spacing and height of topping, as the number of leaves per acre increased, yield and value per acre increased. However, the market price per pound and net price per pound decreased. However, the market price per pound and net price per pound decreased. "The net price per pound decreased faster than the gross price, suggesting that the ex tra yield was costing more than it was worth," say Hawks and Collins. Here is what tests showed in 1966 and 1967. A leaf count per acre of 92,700 leaves had a gross value per hundred pounds of $68.54 and a net price per hundred pounds of $34.47; 115, 900 leaf count, values of $69.31 and $34.68; 120,000 lerf count, values of $68.61 and $34.79; 139.000 leaf count, values of $68.82 and $33.96; 160.000 leaf count, values of $68.86 and $33.81; 180,000 1erf count, val ues of $68.18 and $31.19. These figures show that the net price was almost constant up to a leaf count of 120,000 leaves. Beyond that, net price decreased. This reflects the higher cost of handling that extra leaves. As the leM num ber per acre goes up, the ave rage size oi the leaves de crease, and the weight per lerf Is deceased. "Labor efficiency Is Increased as the weight per leaf Is Increased," the spe cialists point out. Nobody knows for sure, but North Carolina tobacco grow ers are suspected of growing too many leaves per acre to realize maximum net returns. The leaf count generally Is es timated at around 140,000 to 150,000. "Even though many of the present varieties have the po tential to produce a high num ber of leaves," Hawks and Col lins observe, "It seems most economical to top these varie ties from 18 to 20 leaves per plant and change leaf number by spacing variables." The point Is, there Is little use to have a high leaf count per acre If all leaves over a certain number are going to cost more to grow, harvest and cure then they are worth. Ieasy-up j concrete!
