TALK PROBLEMS OF
TOBACCO GROWING
Tobacco Research Commit
tee To Meet at Triton,
Ca, June 24-26

Problems concerned with the pro-
duction of flue-cured tobacco in the
weed-grOwing states of the South will
be threshed out at the annual meet
ing of the tobacco research commit
tee to be held at Triton, Georgia, June
1926, according to announcement
from N. C. State College, Raleigh.
C. B. Williams, head of the agro-
chairman Of the committee. Other
North Carolina members of the group
are: E. Y. Floyd, tobacco specialist at
State College; DR.. r. F. Poole, plant
pathologist at the North Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station; and E. C. Moss, SUI
perintendent of the tobacco expert
ment station at Oxford.
Chief among the problems to lie
taken up, said Chairman Williams,
are insects and diseases of tobacco,
and fertilization recommendations. In
all of these discussions, the North
Carolina representatives are expected
to take a prominent part, since this
State produces approximately 70 per-
cent of the nations flue-cured crop.
Other important problems to be
discussed will be boron deficiency, ap-
plication of potash to control leaf dis
eases, comparative merits of different
nitrate carriers, fertilizer placement
as it affects yield and quality, effects
of previous growth of different woods
upon yield and quality, and tobacco
rotations.
While at Triton the group will make
field trips to tobacco plots at the
Georgia Experiment Station where
they will study the results of expert
mental work carried on, Williams
stated.
The plant pathologists at the meet
ing will go into thorough discussion
of blue-mold, the leaf diseases which
threatened at one time this year to
curtail tobacco production in North
Carolina.

man and mans response. The Bible
tells the story of mans search for and
discovery of God. Always man has
been envelCped in an atmosphere of
God. But the Bible does not prove
anything and does not argue.
Some kind of faith, the bishop de-
clared, is imperative "He that cometh
to God must believe" in the words
of the text. Even the atheist has a
faith; he believes there is no God.
The Christian says, Il believe in
God" There must be an assumption
in life, and there is abundant evid-
ence that a majority of the people
are trustworthy. There is mystery in
life, and a man can see and COM
prehend mysteries without perfect
understanding, he can also accept
God with the mystery that attaches
there. There must be faith that God
rewards all who have faith in him.
When one has discovered God to be
the truth, he stands in the faith Of
God

TOBACCO CROP CUT
BY LONG DROUGHT
Conditions Reported Even
Worse in Other Belts
Than Here

A six-weeks drought, broken only
by two thunderstorms of little con-
sequence, continued to hold this sec
ton and indeed a large section of the
southeast, in it's grip today, increas-
ing the seriousness of the tobacco
crop situation almost to the point of
alarm. One of the best known tobacco
planters in the county said here today
that if rain did not come within a
week or so, the size of this years
crop probably would be cut from %
TO 40 percent.
1t is not so much a matter of ulti-
mately making a crop, as there would
be time, insofar as time alone is a
factor, for that roefore harvest, but
many farmers have put out most of
their CROP and there is serious danger
whether or not it will live if rains are
much longer withheld And what is
perhaps even worse. so many plants
have been v'ifh6i avn from seedbeds
for such planting as has taken place,
and the drought has so withered the
remainder that shortage of sprouts
becomes a possibility if it should be-
come necessary to replant on large
scale
Growers perenially fear a wet June
for tobacco. But with the crop so far
behind, they are rather DESTROYS of
plenty of rain during the next three
or four weeks, believing that, after
what has passed "wet" July would
be the thing to be feared this year.
What they think would be near ideal
would Ihe generous, though not too
many, showers in June, compare
lively dry July and needed showers
during August just before the curing
season gets under way. That would
bring favorable growing conditions
for the making of this years crop
provided plants shall be sufficient to
take care of the rest of the planting
and such re-planting as may be need
ed
Virtually all planting that has been
done lately has been with the neces-
sity of watering operations, and thro-
nghout the county frequent watering
of plantbeds has become necessary tC
prevent the unset plants from wither.
ing or dying. Where planting has not
been finished, many growers have
concluded to await rains, believing
letter results in the long run can thus
be obtained.

ACRE PAYMENT ON
SOIL PLAN GIVEN
Average Rates for Entire
State Announced by
Dean Schaub

Average rates of soil-conserving
payments for each county in North
Carolina under the 1896 farm program
were announced today by Dean I. o.
Schauio, of State College.
The soil-conserving payment will be
made for taking land out of soil-de-
pleting crops and putting it into soil
conserving crops, the dean explained.
The rate for cotton and tobacco has
been fixed at five cents a pound on
the average production of the land,
while that for peanuts is 1 IA cents
a pound.
Other soil-depleting crops are CLASH
fled together under the same rate of
payment per acre, which depends up
on the productivity of the land on
each farm.
The average rate per acre for gen.
eral soil-depleting crops in the United
States is $40. The average rate for
each county varies above or below $40
in the same proportion that the aver
age productivity of the land in that
county varies above or below the av-
erage for the United States.
In the same way the rate for each
farm will be set above or below the
county average rate according to pro-
ductivity of that farm in comparison
with the average productivity Of the
county.
The general productivity of individ-
ual farms will be icased on the av-
erage yields of the principal soil-de-
pleting crops other than cotton, to-
bacco, and peanuts.
The rate per acre for general soil
depicting crops in Vance and nearby
counties is as follows: Vance, $6.4O;
Warren, 500 1-2; Granville, 81;
Franklin, $6.40.
