1t Is aa established fact that there
are greet areas ID the United States
not now growing tobacco which have
the soil, climatic and other conditions
suited for growing valuable tobaccos
and which for the welfare OF American
agriculture should supply the demand
of the manufacturers One Of the most
important phases Of the development
of these undeyeloped sections is the
production of varieties Of tobacco
adapted to their soil and climatic con
ditions.
The change Of seed from one tobacco
growing region to different soil and
climatic conditions, particularly from
the south 70 the north. Is likely to re-

by using self fortified seed. and uni

CURL LEAF.

Spraying For Control Of This Disease
Of the Peach.
A very important complication must
be considered In spraying for blight
control. This is the occurrence Of an
other peach disease, the curl leaf. The
effects Of this trouble are too well
known in California to need descflp-
ton. The control Of the disease Is
very successfully accomplished by
spraying in February or March, Just
before the buds unfold, but a time
which is too late for blight prevention.
Treatments Given.
In the experience Of 1905 the one fall
spraying controlled both dlseases-a
most satisfactory condition. In the
spring of 1907, however. very viru-
lent attack OF curl leaf occurred, es-
pecially in the lower Sacramento val
ley, while the blight fungus proved
somewhat less active than in the pre-
vious season.
The result Of this attack is plainly
shown BY the results Of spraying viz,
that the November or December applI-
cation did not entirely hold the curl
leaf in check, although as successful
as before with the blight Conse-
quently some orchards sprayed prop
erly and successfully for blight were
badly injured by curl leaf. while 9th
ers sprayed later were protected from
curl leaf.
All that had been expected OF the
blight treatment held good when its
effects were differentiated from those
OF the other disease, but the necessity
OF two sprayings rather than one for
the positive control OF both diseases
has become evident
Prune II possible before spraying,
but do not delay the work on account
of pruning.
It is recommended by the California
experiment station TO spray again for
the prevention OF curl leaf about Feb.
