leaves, stalks, or trash because there
is a possibility of infesting the new
Dcd with a disease that might live
over on the oi tobacco.
Seeding the Bed
Usually one tablespoonful of re-
cleaned seed to each 100 square
Yards of bed space is sufficient to
give a uniform stand. The seed
should be mixed with cottonseed meal
dry sand, ashes, or fertilizer for sow
ing. An even stand is more likely
tc be secured if one-haf of the seed
is sown in one direction first and
the remaining seed sown across the
bed IT right angles to the first SOW
ing. After .he seed is sown, the bed
should be packed by running a light
roller over it, tamping it with a board
attached to the end of a short pole
or by tanping i. with the feet. Roll
ing or stamping is not advised on
stiff heavy soles. A better stand will
be secured on this type of soil if the
seeds are whipped with q brush
broom made from some plant, such
as dCgwood.
ProtcctiOr of the Beds
1t is essential to keep the bed rs
warm as possible. In order to do
this it will be necessary to construct
the cover for the bed tightly. Usual
y boxing the bed with planks allow
ing them to extend approximately 6
inches above the surface of the soil
is very satisfactory. Before at
taching the canvas to these boards
ie-o .1xYic HI ~, %<1I,
the bed at>12 to Is feet intervals, or
place small forked sticks at inter
walls over the bed to prevent the
canvas from sagging. Place the
cover over the bed and anchor it
Gl,ss-y around the edges. Another
satisfactory way to cover the beds
! is to r ace a thin layer of we'll
threshed oat or wheat-straw over the
| bed and allow the canvas to rest di-
roct.y on the straw. The use of
poles or planks is not necessary in
this c7se. The cover can be anchor
ed around the edge of the bed by
means OF forked twigs or pegs. Do
not allow the straw to pile UP in any
one place on the bed, but scatter it
; uniformly over the bed, usirg from
20 to % pounds per 100 square yards.
This method of covering the bed APP
/ pears 20 keep it warmer and is COM
ing into genera use throughout the
State. The canvas should either be
new; or if it is old canvas, boil for
thirty minutes to kill diseases that
might remain on it. A few days be-
fore transqlanting the covers should
be removed from the bed SO that the
plants will become hardened to exist
irg conditions. If the Fl ants seem to.
grow too fast the cover n2ny be re-
moved in the Daytime and placed
back at night. If the beds become
weedy, it should be picked over by
hand. This should not be done du~
ing dry weather unless tfe bed is
artificial watered before and after

that may be used in Vance County
are White Stem Orinoco, Virginia
