Long-Time Plans for Burley Tobacco
Growers as Recommended by Committee
* Increase net income from Bur
- lejMky —-
•_T. Producing quality that will
meet current demand, increase
volume used in cigarettes, and
gain in foreign trade.
' A. Space 14”-18” in drilling S'/i
--4 ft. rows, top early and some
lower, transplant fairly early to
increase body, oil, aroma and
flavor
B. Work to shift the qualities
desired back to the lower leaves
in middle and down stalk tobacco.
Recently the most sought after
qualities are in the smaller low
er yielding leaves at the top of
the stalk.
C. Use quality producing varie
ties. Ky. 16, B-21, B-2.
D. Control insects by using the
recommended insecticide. Do not
use arsenic of lead.
E. Improve curing.
P. Let tobacco get ripe before
cutting.
G. Avoid the use of excessive
manure because of the reduced
burn and wet tobacco caused by
chlorine. Do not exceed 16 tons
an acre.
H. Improve yields especially oh
those farms falling below the
county average and particularly
where low quality is produced
along with low yields.
A Provide good uniform plants
at the right time (May 10-June 10)
B. Transplant fairly early in
well prepared soil and set the
plants properly with plenty of
water.
C. Use wireworm control insec
ticides if needed. Broadcast treat

Tbi* season, see for yourself how a pre-plant soil treatment
with D-D soil fumigant pays off in bigger yields. D-D soil,
fumigant is available from your local pesticide dealer.

—D. Use resistant varieties where
l needed. Wildfire—B 21, Black
> shank B 11A and BUB.
I E. Have soil tested and use the
rates and analysis of fertilizer
needed. *
111. Plant Production:
i Improve the quality and supply
of plants available at the best
part of the planting season. (May
! 10th-June 10th). Provide" enough
, plant bed space to set allotment
at one pulling. I
A. Sow at least 100 sq. yds. for
each acre. Fertilize plant bed
with 4-9-3 at the. rate of 1-1 % lbs.
r
per square yard.
D. Control the quality of plants
by preparing a smooth, well pul
verized seedbed ,at a good loca
, tion, close to water and regulate
the stand by sowing the right
amount of seed and provide wat
er at-' seed germination time. Pro
per stands can be expected with
a teaspoonful of seed per 100 sq.
yds., if beds are properly watered
at seed germination time.
C. Control Wildfire by using
either a resistant variety or. the
use of recommended fungicides. 1
Apply Streptomycin sulfate when
first true leaves are formed and
once a week thereafter and after
rains.
D. Control insects by using
10% DDT.
E. Prevent blue mold by using
fermate at the recommended rate.
IV. Field Fertilization:
A. Have soil j tested and Use
rates and analysis needed: Gener
ally, 90-110 lb. N; 70-flO lb., P 205
and 90-110 lb. K2O. Part of this
' may be supplied with manure.
With no manure use, 1200 lbs.
1 8-8-8 per acre, with 10 tons manure

’ use 1200 lbs, of 4-8-10 per acre.
I Insist on tobacco fertilizers. Do
f general crop fertilizer.
V. Planting Dates: Set plants
f early, May 10th-June 10th for
highest yields. Set crop Within a
2-3 week period. Avoid late plant
ings.
VI. Harvesting:
A. Priming The yield can be
increased by priming once or
twice, depending on the weather,
, rind cutting the balance. Increa
ses of 200-400 lbs. per acre can be
expected.
B. Cutting Let the tobacco
get ripe before harvesting, qual
ity is better, yield is higher and
curing is easier. Excessive nitro
gen delays maturity. ’
VII. Curing: Provide curing
barns with vertical hinged venti- *
latorsfor at least 2-5 to 1-2 of
sidewall surface. Remodel old
barns' to provide ventilation arid
weather protection.- Build new
barns on high ground with one
of the long sides facing the direc
tion of prevailing winds. Adjust
the ventilators to control the rate
of drying and protect against fog
and high humidity. Quality and
weight is lowered if tobacco is
not dried properly and if exposed
to too much moisture.
VIII. Stripping and Sorting:
Strip and sort and market to
bacce properly and in the right
order (case) for highest returns.
If the crop is well prepared, the
grocer is in the best bargaining
position. Grade under flourescent
light. Keep grades separate and
market accordingly.
IX. Marketing:
A. Be present when your tobac
co is sold.
B. Make a record of the pounds
falling in each government grade
as an aid in evaluating the effect
of your cultural practices and as
an indication of the quality of
tobacco being produced.
C. Keep up with the quality
being produced in other types of
tobacco that compete with burley.
I This will help indicate the difec- 1
tion or trend in demand.
