PLACE ORDERS FOR
TOBACCO SEED NOW

Tie blight wildaower or rust which
destroyed 50 many crops Of tobacco
last season and 80 seriously injured
many more, has caused great mon
cy loss to the farmers ard VIII cause
many who wish to escape or mini
n1izc as far * possible this danger
in 1921, to consider the quality of
the tobacco seed which they will SOW
this year. il it Is determined to SOW
amy. and to inquire carefully a. to
when. whore and by whom the same
was produced.
No one seems to know the source
or cause Of this disease. Some con-
tend that 1t WAS produced entirely by
weather conditions and that the dis
ease is not transmitted from the
plant to its seed, while others believe
that whatever may be the source OF
cause Of the disease it may be 80
avoid as far rs 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 amy field or even
near any field where the diSea.e APP
peared, even though III mild form
| and this for the reason that no one
! knows to what extent it may again
appear in crops grown from such
seed.
/ In view Of these facts every farm
! eT should try to raise his plants fol
I this years crop from seed produced
! from the 1919 crop of tobacco. anc
! avoid, if possible, the use of any seed
from the 1920 crop.
1t is the "hit or miss" farmer who
Ia willing to take the chance of us
ing such seed.
Our advice is to sow the best seec
obtainable, for it is the cheapest anc
, 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 a:
to how to prevent it except to usC
care in the selection Of seed.
This disease did not appear in the
1919 crop, and therefore we thinl
that the use Of seed from the 1911!
crop is safer than the seed form the
! 1920 crop.
1t is quite likely that the seed from
the 1919 crop is limited in quantit!
and therefore it becomes the more
important for the farmers who desire
such seed to secure the neccSSar!
quantities as soon as possible and be
i fore the supply is exhausted.
Among the we'll known and leading
brands of such seed which has bccI
tested for q number of years i'm The
BWIey district and we'll known thru
out said section by the farmers. l.
"Judy'S Pride" produced and sold b,
w. S. Judy Seed Company, Of Lex
ington, Ky, which has made Il bust
ness for Il number of years of pro
ducing this well known and testc,
variety.
In order to avoid any danger @
contributing to the recurrence of rus
this company burned and destroye'
all the seed produced from their 1922
crop, which was cultivated solely 70
the purpose of securing the seed.
They are now offering to the farm
ers only the seed produced from thei
1919 crop, of which they have only
limited quantity left. This will go t.
the farmers in the nature ia "firs
aid" and gives them an opportunit.
to avoid whatever risk or loss Nigh
result from rust, and they are offer
ing this to the farmer.
This seed was carefully grown an
saved from choice stalks only, an
the farmers can rest assured that tn
use of this seed will reduce the dan
ger of loss from rust to the mini
mum.
