S'? fSj i' FOUR NEW TOBACCO VARIETIES ' - X 8$ TO BE AVAILABLE TO GROWERS Hue • cured tobacco growers Jttve a large selection from which to choose the varieties they will plant in 1971. The list includes four new varieties that will be available for the first time. Information on 17 varieties, including the new Coker 411, Georgia 1469, McNair 135 And Speight G-41 lines, is being made available to growers by North Carolina 1 State University through county extensiotiagents, other agricultural workers and information media, i Dr. John Rice, head of NCSU ■' variety testing, said the infor mation was compiled' from tests located , at five research farms in the state. The established varieties NO 2326 and NC 95 were used as a basis of compar ison. Dr. Rice pointed especially to that part of the data that relates to disease resistance, comment ing that limiting losses to the major plant ills continues to be one of the important produc tion factors in the flue-cured area. “With all varieties in the last yielding over 2,000 pounds per acre and since most of these were tested on normally disease free-land, farmers with limited rotations and disease problem fields should consider disease resistance in selecting varieties for 1971,” Dr. Rice said. The diease resistance ratings for black shank for the four new varieties were high for Coker 411 and modeate fur the other three. opeigiu was raiea nign for Granville wilt resistance and the other three were rated high for fusariutn wilt resistance. Ga. .... 1469 and Speight G-41 were al so rated resistant to root knot nema+oies In the five tests conducted in 1970, the average yield per acre of the 17 varietes ranged from 2,035 pounds for McNair 30 to 2,312 for McNair 135, one of the new varieties. The test information includes value per acre and dollars per hundred pounds. McNair 135 gave the highest value per acre in the combined test at $1,759 per acre. Speight G-7 ranked the'highest in dollars per hun dred pounds with a value of $77.85. In other categories of .‘valua tion, each of the four new variet ies had a relatively low number of ground suckers; the number of leaves per plant was fairly consistent with all 17 varieties, varying from 18:9 for NC 2326 to 22.5 for Coker 258; al variet ies tested had a tendency to flower within 60 days after transplanting; with NC 2326 be ing the earliest at 52 days; sugar content of all varietes was with in an acceptable range of be tween 12 and 15 percent; and the four new varieties were dose in their range of nicotine with the limits of 3.28 per cent for Ga. 1469 to 3.79 per cent for Coker 411. In addition to the 17 variet ies, 33 advanced breeding lines were also tested in 1970. These ncluded 10 new breeding lines Women have been known to show their true colors — when they run out of cosmetics.

In the variety evaluation pro gram, both regional and state wide, eight tobacco manufactur ers have participated in the chemical, physical and smoke evaluation. '< Representatives of the com panies, «dong with commercial and public tobacco breeders, as sist in the determination of those varieties that are most accepta ble. “This close participation by developer and user of new va rietes is an effort to mease only acceptable varieties for do mestic and foreign buyers,” Dr. Rice said. “The evaluation pro gram is an attempt to maintain U. S. tobacco at a quality level tat has made it desirable on the world market.” He explained that flavor and aroma of the smoke of new va reties are evaluated by panels in this and foreign countries. Any varieties which genetically may have an off-flavor are elim inated from the program at an early date prior to release. Pinted copies of the Tobacco Research Report containing va riety data will be published in late December. Copies may be obtained at that time from the Crop Science Department, N. C.

Mastic Worms Are Here to Stay for Fishermen Who Recognize Their Uses »y Jim wwn i It hasn't been many years since I ran into a fisherman us ing the first plastic worms I’d ever seen. He was fishing for foluegiHs in the time-honored tradition with cane pole and bobber. Instead of a tomato can full of red wigglers, he had a bag of strange looking rubbery crit ters which, to my astonishment, he said were imitation earth worms. Holy mackerel, I thought, is nothing sacred? He threaded one on a hook, plopped it out, and sat back ex pectantly. I watched open mouthed, but he never had a bite, and I must admt that I felt better. After all, fish might not be overly intelligent, but they ain’t that dumb, and those early bogus garden hackles didn’t catch many fish. Fishing with plastic worms has come a long way since then. Now’, they are mostly reserved for largemouth and smallmouth bass, and they catch plenty of both. In fact, if you asked 10 seri ous bass fishermen in the state to name the one Jure they couldn’t do without, eight of them would quickly pick the plastic worm. .&vcii so, apparently a lot of casual fishermen don’t use worms regularly because they don’t know how. Also, over, the past few years — largely be cause of the rapid growt of tour nament bass fshing —the tech niques have been refined. Here are some recent tips on worm fishing I’ve picked up from sbme experts. Although a lot of successful anglers like to use spinning tac kle and 8-14 pound test line when fishing with plastic worms, the tournament anglers almost invariably use stiff cast ing rods with free-spool casting reels loaded with 20-pound test line. Before they tie on a worm, Wednesday for Douglas Ronald Moore, 29, Lenoir County native, son of Mrs. G. J. Smith of Kins ton route 2, who committed sui cide in Georgia early Monday. William A. Jones Funeral services were held Monday for William A. Jones, 67, of the Moss Hill Community, who died Saturday. Horace S. Howard Funeral services were held Wednesday for Horace S. How ard, 57, of the Ervin Crossroad section of lower Lenoir County who died Monday Morning. :■ r-' ONE HIGH STANDARD v.

The egg sinker beats the pinch-on split shot because it doesn’t crimp the line causing fish to break off. Most bass fishermen rig their own worms, and the pre ferred types vary from angler to angler. You most often see two basic types. One older, but proven, meth od is to string a six- to eight ■irich soft plastic worm on a a/0 Id 5/0 weedless hook, sticking the point of the hook in the head affid running the worm up the hook until the shank is cover ed, then pushing the point back out again. A newer method is to thread a worm on a similar size hook that isn’t weedless, the differ ence is that you don’t run the hook quite so far into the worm’s head before bringing the point out. Then you turn the point and bury it back in the worm, thus making it weedless. Although most rig these worms to run straight in the water without twisting, some fisher men put a “bend” in the worm which causes it to twirl in the water. They use swivels to keep from twisting the line. The straight worm, without swdvel, is most popular. The favorite colors seem to he, purple, translucent green, blue, black and red roughly in that order. The technique is to cast out and let the worm sink to the * num r Aw Mm bottom, then retrieve slowly by lifting the rod tip and taking up the slack. In years past, when you got a strike, instantly gave the fish free line and let him run with the worm until he had ether swallowed it or your pa tience evaporated. Many modern worm fisher man prefer tq merely lower the rod tip when the fish strikes and wait until the fish takes out the slack in the line. Then they hit him hard with a stiff rod to set the hook. You may miss some smaller fish this way, but not many big ones, and you. won’t kill the fish you don’t plan to keep because they’ll be hooked in the mouth or lip rather than the gut or gills. Finally, keep hook points raz or sharp. A small auto point file is perfect for this. Admittedly, this is sketchy coverage of the subject, but maybe you’ll find some informa tion of value. From now on in to the winter months, bass fish ing should be generally good. And if another fisherman asks you if you’ve got worms, don’t be offtended. Show him a big bass. Sll YOUI LOCA& U i.
