The blight wildfre or rust which
destroyed 80 many crops Of tobacco
last season and so seriously injured
many more has caused a great mon
ey loss to the farmers and viii cause
many who wish to escape or mini
mize ~ far a. possible this danger
in 1921, 10 consider the quality 81
the tobacco seed which they will sow
this year. II il is determined to SOW
any. and 60 inquire carefully as TO
when, where and by whom the same
was produced
No one seems to know the source
or cause Of this disease Some con
tend that Il was produced entirely by
weather conditions and that the dis
ease is not transmitted from the
plant 20 it, seed, while others believe
that whatever may be the source or
cause Of the disease II may be so
transmitted Therefore. in order 10
avoid as far a. 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;
and this for the reason that no one
knows to what extent il may again
appear in crops grown from such
seed.
In view Of these facts every farm
er should try TO 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.
It 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
to how to prevent it 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
1920 crop.
II 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 a number Of years
in the Burnley district and well known
throughout said section by the far
mers. is "Judy's Pride" produced
and sold by W. $. Judy Seed Com
pany. Lexington, KY. which has
made 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 70 the farm
ers only the seed produced from
their 1919 crop. Of which they have
only limited quantity left. This
will go 10 the farmers in the nature
Of first aid" and gives them an OPP
portunity 10 avoid whatever risk or
loss might result from rust and they
are offering this to the farmer
This seed was carefully grown and
saved from choice stalks only. and
the farmers can rest assured that the
use OF this seed will reduce the dan
ger Of loss from rust to the mini
