More Than Here. (By I nitrile Buddotar) Haidar Ashan. 28-year old Tu-k A Ish tobacco expert studying tho growth of American tobacco, to id tn an Interview while in Goldsboro last week of interesting differences of cultivation and curing processes between Turkish and American ,o j bacco. The young Turk is the only stud ent from,his country studying tobac-i co conditions at American universi ties After public school, he a* - I tended a college where he sludi •d j pathology before enrolling at the Turkish Institute of Tobacco. He yea* sent to America upon a govern ment scholarship to State Collegj, which he says is known as a "fa mous agricultural college” in Tur key. At present he is studying un-1 dcr the tutorship of Dr. Wolfe at Duke University for his master's degree. » r Meanwhile Asnan travels me ru ral sections gathering literary and pho>oRraphic material for his the* > \ on "Blue Mold." and making regu'ar reports to his government. Besides his scholastic aehiv--: ments. Ashan is an excellent a'h lcte He is six feet and one inc.l 8tail and weigh 170 pounds. In 1931 he won the United Bankar.s Stales championsh.p for high jumping with a leap of 5ix feet and three ir.chej. In Turkey he was a decathlon star, which mcar.s that he car. shire i'l ten track events. He has not con tinued extensively his athletics in this country, but he is assisting it coaching I>ukc's soccer team. According to the tobacco expet, agriculture in his country is govern ment controlled A quota is set by government agricultural expert!, with farmers given acre allotmen’s. Farmers secure seed and plants bred fn experimentation stations main tained by the government. When the finished product is brought to the warehouses, deduction is made for seed received from the govern merit grant of aid Ashan is of the opinion that the farming situation.jn Turkey is highly successful, and that being governmental!}' controlled, to bacco markets are not Hooded with tobacco that sends the prices dowi to too low a lcvcL Assistance is received by farmers through exper; enced experts who have studied cf ricultural problems. I - r P m Turkish tobacco seasons corres pond with American seasons, the success of the crop depending upon how noon tobacco is planted, trans planted. and cured “Putting in to bacco” is a careful and painstaking process. Each leaf is selected by hand, put into bales, and taken to the government warehouses, where the average receipt per pound is b tween it and SO pounds. Two huu. dr«4 millions of pounds are export ed to America and Europe yearly, at about $2.00 per pound for the bv.l grade. Though the average price p;r pound of tobacco is much higher in Turkey, Ashan said, the process of growth and cure is much more dif ficult. The basic difference lies iu the "soil, Turkish soil requiring Ult'a or no commercial fertilizer to raise the small, aromatic leaves desired Sb* Turkish farmers. The PH of Turkish *oit ij Qtd or 7 as compare i to the or S pH of American soil. Farmers rely almost solel; upon sheep manure for fertilisation. All Turkish tobacco la sun cured, as curing by* 'lrc <s believed to de stroy the aromatic elements. Placed on portable wagons, the tobacco is left to dry in the sun for 30 days. Whin rain occurs, the tobacco 1* rolled under shelter. Pathological diseases, such as blue mold, are uncommon, though the to bacco moth that attacks Turkish tobacco in storage causes consider able dsmage. There la howover, sotn* appearance of wildfire, ro it rot and mosaic virus. I Other principal crops of model a Turkey Include wheat, corn, cottir., grmp«* ««»■ nuts and opium.
