Bulletin Explains Control Methods For Blue Mold Blue mold is one of the most serious problems of tobacco grow ers of this and other states. To provide a better understanding of blue mold, also called “downy mildew,” and to describe effec tive methods to combat it, a re port has been compiled coopera tively by representatives of Duke university, the agricultural ex periment stations and extension services of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, and the N. C. Department of Agriculture. ' This report is contained in Extension Circular No. 229, en titled “Blue Mold of Tobacco and Its Control,” which is available for free distribution upon request to the Agricultural Editor of Sta te College, Raleigh. The circular lists the symptoms of the disease, both in seed and I For I Prompt I Attention!

Three methods of treatment are listed: (1) by benzol (benzene) fumigation, (2) by paradichlor benzol (P. D. B.) fumigation, (3) by sprays. In explanation of the difficulties encountered in controlling blue mold, the report says: “Treatments used for dis eases of other crops were not en tirely satisfactory when applied to tobacco, and therefore, new methods of procedure had to be devised. Thq grower should bear in mind that the methods outlined here are the best avail able at the present time and that if improved methods appear they will be made available.” The first outbreak of blue mold on cultivated tobacco in the Un ited States occurred in 1921, when it was noted in Florida and Geor gia. For some unknown reason it did not again attract attention un til 10 years later when it reap peared in Florida and Georgia and spread rapidly into all to bacco producing states east of the Mississippi River except Wiscon sin. o Women Form 111 Groups In War On Hidden Taxes Waynesville The campaign of women in North Carolina to “expose and combat hidden tax es,” moved steadily ahead today with the announcement that Na tional Consumers Tax Commis sion units already have been or ganized in 111 communities throughout the state. The drive by North Carolina women, joining others in a nation wide crusade afhinst hidden tax es, started on October 25 with the formation of a Waynesville unit. Asheville, Bryson City and ■ Canton women set up groups | soon after and the movement spread rapidly throughout North ' Carolina, stated the report made | public by Mrs. William T. Han inah, of Waynesville, NCTC state director. | “Within a month, women in 90 cities and towns in the state had organized crusade units, and ii is expected similar groups will grow up in er'ery community,” said the report. “These units join with 2,500 already active in the nation.” The NCTC is described as a non-political organization seek ing, through local women’s study groups, to inform the public of its hidden tax burden and to war on harmful, unnecessary taxes. The organization has national headquarters in Chicago. n LABORATORY The new U. S.
