BLUE MOLD NOTED
IN VANCE COUNTY
Not Yet Serious But Wealth
er Is Conducive to To-
bacco Disease

Blue mold, that dreaded tobacco di-
sease which has played havoc to so
large an extent in Georgia, South
Carolina and Eastern North Carolina
belts this spring, has finally reached
Vance county, though as yet in no
alarming or devastating proportions.
]. w. Sanders, county farm agent,
said he had received reports from the
northern part Of the county that blue
mold had appeared in tobacco plant
beds and fears were felt there by the
growers that it's ravages might be-
come serious.
The county agent said the weather
for the past few days had been favor
able to the spread of the plant disease.
The heavy rains have dampened the
soil to considerable depth, and were
accompanied and followed by cool
weather, both of which conditions are
conductive to propagation of the di-
sease.
While other earlier tobacco belts
have been suffering from blue mold,
plants in this section have not been
far enough advanced to fall prey to
the blight. It had been hoped that
weather conditions would prove so I'M
favorable that the county might es-

SOIL PAYMENTSAT
SLOWER PACE NOW
Considerably More Money
Due Farmers Here from
AAA, However

Soil conservation payments for far
mers in Vance county who cooperat-
ed in the movement last year have
slowed down somewhat from the pace
at which they were received here from
Washington week or two ago, &C
cording to J. w. Sanders, county
agent and crop control director for
the county. With some $4,000 sent in
already, checks from now on are ex-
pected to come comparatively few at
a time, Mr.. Sanders said.
Some $500 growers here cooperated
under the AAA soil conservation pro-
gram in 1885, and. were due to receive
an aggregate amount of approximate
ly $4,000.
This money, coming at this time, is
helping many growers in the financ-
ing of their 1887 crops, and removing
the necessity for them to obtain loans
from other sources of credit. More
over, the soil remittances are, not
loans, but outright payments that do
not have to be paid back in the fall,
OF at any other time.
Farmers who require credit, how
ever, are finding several sources avail
able to them, including the banks, the
production credit association and Fed
eral seed loans.

been patient at the hospital here for
the past five or six weeks. Death was
due tc complications.
