Tobacco Growers Urged to Guard Against Plant Disease Burley tobacco growers in Western North Carolina and other areas know that wildfire and blue mold spell trouble and reduced pro fits. They know that these names identify two diseas es which often destroy young tobacco plants in the seed bed. Wildfire is perhaps the better known in the burley growing area but either disease is capable of caus ing wholesale destruction in a short time. Wildfire is even a greater menace be cause this disease may also spread later on in the field from plants which carried the deadly germs from the plant bed to the field. Field infections cause poor quality tobacco. For this reason, even the plants which may survive an at jtack of wildfire in the J plant bed are unfit for set- medium and heavy duty models in the GMC 1950 truck line. Additional models this year will include new series in the 1 Yi and 2J/£-ton ranges, new middle-weight six-wheelers and new lighter Diesels. In addition, GMC will feature increased horsepower in its light and medium duty engines, as well as many cab, chassis and engine advancements. THE YANCEY RECORD ting in the field. Such a plant may appear to be perfectly healthy and still be a carrier of the wildfire organism. Why should growers take a gamble on destruc tive diseases like these when they can be controll ed at little cost? Perhaps it is because the treatments for wildfire and blue mold are PREVENTATIVES rather than cures. It seems that many growers always hesitate to use pest control measures when the plants appear to be doing nicely. Instead, they feel that they will get by somehow with out treating their beds, and sometimes they do. However, when conditions favor these diseases and they strike suddenly, as they did in the spring of 1949, these growers then would be willing to try al most any remedy. But that’s too late! According to Dr. C, J. Nusbauni, who spends all his time working with to bacco diseases at the NrC. Agricultural Experiment Station, there are no satis factory CURES for wild fire or blue moId—ONLY PREVENTATIVES. To be effective, these preventative- measures mustbe applied before the disease make their appear ance. This is a very import ant point. In fact, it is the key to success in avoiding serious damage from wild fire or blue mold. Year in and year out, all growers would be able to produce better plants more cheaply by making disease control a regular practice and en joying the satisfaction and profits that sf well-manag ed plant bed can give. Different Diseases— Different Treatments- Wildfire and blue mold are separate and distinct diseases caused by two dif ferent organisms. Growers in the burley area often confuse blue mold with wildfire. Blue mold does not pro duce the round, yellowish or brownish spots, sur rounded by a light band/ as does wildfire. Instead, the, 1 affected leaves at first take on a yellowish cast and turn downward at the ed ges. A bluish or grayish moldy growth appears on the underside of these lea ves. Later the leaves or even the entire plants may be killed, either in spots or throughout the bed, Ask your county agent for instructions for treat ing seed beds to guard ag ainst these Diseases, Presbyterian News There will be a District Youth Rally at Hot Springs Sunday afternoon.
