 Twenty-Five thousand acres are yearly planted with tobacco in Connecticut, giv- ing steady work to 1o.0o0 men and inter- mittently to many more. It is estimated that $4o,e00;eoe are invssed and the farm value of the crop is more tho $1S,000, 900 yearly-the largest, ca ah crop in the state
 The station has just sent to growers circulars of information describing wi d fire which has got foothold Tn the to- bacco district of the state. It did serious damage in 1920 and if weather conditions favor it in, 1921 and unless great care is taken now. to avoid the spread of this disease it may prove disastrous in 1921. The station urges growers not to use seed plants from those farms. where 1t appeared last year. On farms where 1t appeared. new seed beds should 1 be made or the old ones should be thor oughly sterilized and treated as described in the circular The disease is carried by contact, with affected plants, one the hands clothes or tools and also with the seed from diseased pods. Directions art given for steriiizing the seed. but 1t f. better to use seed gathered before the ais
