The blight Wildnrc or rust Wnlch
destroyed 50 many crops Of tobacco
last season and so seriously injured
many more has caused a great mon
ey loss TO the farmers and will cause
many who wish to escape or mini
mize "a far a. possible this danger
in 1921. TO consider the quality Of
the tobacco seed which they will SOW
this year. II IL is determined 10 sow
any, and 20 inquire carefully as 30
when. where and by whom the same
was produced.
No one seems 10 know the source
or cause Of this disease. Some con
tend that !, was produced entirely by
weather conditions and that the dis
ease is not transmitted from the
plant TO It's seed, while others believe
that whatever may be the source or
cause Of the disease il may be so

avoid a. far as possible the risk Of
The same trouble in the 1921 crop. all
farmers should avoid planting any
seed harvested from any crop Of to-
bacco raised on any field or even
near any field where the disease APP
peared. even though in a mild form I;
and this for the reason that no one
knows 90 what extent il may again
appear IN crops grown from such
seed.
In view Of these facts every farm
or should try 10 raise his plants for
this years crop from seed produced
from the 1919 crop Of tobacco, and
avoid. IL possible. the use Of any
seed from the 1920 crop
IL is the hit or miss" farmer who
is willing TO take the chance Of US
ing such seed.
Our advice is TO SOW the best seed
obtainable, for il is the cheapest and
best in the end. and take as little
risk as possible this year
We must admit that We do not
know what caused the disease during
the past year and have no theory as
20 how 20 prevent il except TO use
care in the selection Of seed.
This disease did not appear in the
1919 crop. and therefore we think
that the use Of the seed from the
1919 crop is safer than seed from the
1929 crop.
Il is quite likely that the seed from
the 1919 crop is limited in quantity
and therefore IL becomes the more
important for the farmers who de-
sire such seed TO secure the neces-
sary quantities as soon as possible
and before the supply is exhausted.
Among the well known and lead
ing brands Of such seed which has
been tested for number Of years
in the Burnley district and well known

and sold by W S. Judy Seed Com
pany, Lexington, Ky, which has
made a business for a number Of
years Of producing this well known
and tested variety.
In order TO avoid any danger Of
contributing 10 the recurrence Of
rust this company burned and de-
stroyed all the seed produced from
their 1920 crop which was cultivated
solely for the purpose Of securing
the seed.
They are now Offering to the farm
