Floyd Warns
Against Close
Leaf Planting
BY Z. Y. FLOYD
Extension Tobacco Specialist, N. c.
State College.

1t never has paid any grower to
pad" acreage yields Of tobacco by
heavy fertilization or by setting the
plants in hills closer together than
IS the normal practice Since tobac-
co is grown for its leaves, the ef-
feet of forcing growth is much more
serious than in the case with most
other crops grown for sale.
With allotments under the Agri-
cultural Conservation Program on
an acreage, rather than q poundage,
basis this year, it is feared that a
number of farmers will try to beat
the control program by increasing
their yields at the sacrifice Of quail
ity. The buyers are going 10 be on
the lookout for this, and growers
who contemplate such action should
profit from the sad experiences Of
others who have tried ii.
Under normal soil conditions,
tobacco should be planted 20 to "a
inches in rows four feet apart. In
the richer soils, were legumcs have
been turned under and where the
fertility is above normal, the spac-
ing can be 19 inches, but it is eX-
tremely dangerous TO go below that.
Extremely close spacing causes
the plants to shade themselves, and
the leaves will not ripen properly.
Especially in seasons of abnormal
rainfall is it treacherous to set
plants closer than 20 inches. Never
should the rows be less than four
feet apart, because there is the
strong possibility that the leaves
will be damaged in cultivation and
harvesting without sufficient space
to work between the rows.
The proper amount and kind Of
fertilizer is also vitality important in
producing a quality crop Of tobac-
co. A committee Of South ern
agronomists. headed by Prof. c. B.
Williams of N. c. State College, has
adopted tobacco fertilizer recon-
mendations for 1910, and these
recommendations are: A 3-10-6 to a
3-10-1O mixture for heavy or more
productive soils, to be applied at
rates of 800 to LOCO pounds per
acre: and a 3-0-6 TO a $50 mix
ture for the light or less productive
coils.
Specific recommendations for the
various soil types and conditions in
North Carolina are available in
"Agronomy Information Circular
No. 116," which also may be OBJ
tanned free upon request to the
Editor at State college,
Raleigh.
High Grade, we'll balanced fer
tilizers will usually cost more per
ton than will low grade, poorly pro-
portioned materials, but with tobac-
co, of all crops, costing so much
more per acre to produce. i'll pro-
portioning of the essential plant
nutriments from the best suited
materials can least be afforded.
With anything like normal prices
for tobacco, one Of the best invest
ments growers can make is to use
the proper kinds and amounts of
fertilizers.

SIZE OF SEED BED
STATED BY EXPERT

'Hcu much seed bed should be
provided Tor plGrting 10 acres Of
;Dhacco."
North Carolina State College an
~wet@: It generally requires about
Toe square yards OF seed bed for each
two acres 10 be planted. However,
due 10 the prevalence OF blue molo
growers have been seeding about one
and one-haif times rs much bed as
is required il order to be sure o.
enough healthy plants. One leve
teaspoonful Of seed. if evenly soWr
over the bed. will be sufficient lol
each 10G square yards.

Through the aid of Pope Plus XII,
to whom he directed a personal plea
for aid, Jacob Freedman, 40, of Bos-

sister and her two sons are safe in
Warsaw. He made the appeal after
the state department and the Inter-
national Red Cross were unable to
locate the missing relatives.

You can make your cut flowers for the

follow these rules: Take them out of the
box in which they were delivered and i'm.
merse them ITO their chins" in water in q
deep receptacle. Never put them near a
sunny window o. the radiators. Change
the water on them every day, clipping the
stems a little when you give them fresh
water. And overnight it is a good plan to
again immerse the stems to the top IN

retirement after winning the last
Santa Anita, Howard still had a
double barreled threat in KAYAK II
and Midland. The former. four-year-
old champion of 1889 had been en-
tered for almost every outstanding
stake in the east and the west this
season, and despite his defeat by
Challedon last November he looked
like a good bid for the title of

Now the San Franciscan hasn't a
single top-flight horse in year

reputation. Bimelech has been beat
on twice-both times by horses not

So the man who walks up to a
mutuel window isn't the only gamb-
