LATE DEVELOPMENT
IN BLUE BABY CASE
Sixty-eight Jones County to
bacco growers exhibited a keen
interest in tobacco plot demon
strations that were reviewed
Saturday morning under direc
tion of County Agent A. V.
Thomas and Extension Tobacco
Specialists R. R. Bennett and S.
N. Hawks. Most interesting sight
viewed by those on the tour
were test plots of 8213 ^nd 8259
strains which are found to be
resistant to both Granville wilt
and black shank.
County ‘Agent Thomas says
the good growth of these strains
of tobacco in fields infested with
these, two4 diseases comes just in
time^ since he has already had
Mix fields reported to his office
that have both black shank and
■granville wilt. Similar tests plots
are being viewed today (Wed
nesday) in Lenoir County, and
findings there, according to
County Agent Joe Koonce, are
similar to those uncovered in the
Jones County tour Saturday.
The 8213 straiii is not quite as
heavy as the 8259 but it seems
to be slightly better in quality.
Both varieties carry an average
of 18 to 20 leaves per stalk and
both are broad leaf types.
In Jones county these new
strains can be seen in test plots
on the farms of W. R. Bender,
C. S. Killingsworth, E. V. Scott,
Rom Mallard, F. W. Pollock, and
Logan Green.
In Lenoir County test plots are
located at W. 1* Hardy*, J. V.
Hill*, J> C. Langston’s and Wil
