new ANTI-WILT
LEAF RELEASED

A new variety Of tobacco resis-
tant to Granville wilt, that dread
ed disease which has caused mil
lions of dollars loss annually to
North Carolina flue-cured grow
ers for the past forty years. has at
last been announced by the To-
bacco Branch Experiment sta
ton at Oxford.
The new variety is called COX
ford 26" and certified seed for
about 40 to so thousand acres OF
the 1915 crop will be available. T.
W. Allen of Creedmoor, L. F. Cot
ton of Stem, and J. B. Speight OF
Winterville have produced the
seed of the new variety under con-
troll conditions and the supervision
Of the Experiment station and the
N. C. Crop Improvement associa-
ton.
Back of this announcement OF a
Granville wilt resistant type OF
tobacco lies ten years of painstak-
ing research in laboratory, green
house, and field-plot work with L.
O34 different lots of seed, many OF
which were imported from Cen
trail and South America, according
to E. G. Moss, assistant director In
charge of the Oxford Station.
The original lots of seed were
first grown in greenhouses near
Washington, D. c., where they
were thoroughly tested for all d.
seases. Of the 1,O34 lots only 1901
showed indications of resistance
to wilt and work was centered on
these. These seed were field test
ed at Oxford and only one partl-
cular lot gave hope of success.
Then the research men began to
travel the long, hard road of con-
tinuous selection and breeding OF
this one type of tobacco which Of

fered possibilities of finally devel-
oping sufficient resistance to over
come the terrible wilt disease that
had robbed North Carolina flue-
cured growers of as much as II
TO Is million dollars in one year.
The progress of the detailed re-
search work was slow and involv-
ed countless trials and retrials.
This original type OF tobacco,
known as No. 448 A, has served as
the foundation stock for all the
wilt resistant tobacco being grown
by farmers at the present time. 1t
was noted for its resistance to
Granville wilt but it was not OF
good commercial quality.
In 1889 and 1910 the 44S A wilt
resistant strain was hybridlzed
with standard flue-cured varieties
of tobacco to obtain proper quality,
yields and other desirable charac-
teristics. Continuous selection had
to be carried out all over again
and these hybrids were tested
through six generations by the pa
tient research men, one OF whom
is DR.. T. E. Smith, who has been
in direct charge of this work IN
recent years.
Work was conferred in southern
Granville County near Creedmoor
and Hester, where soils were hea-
Willy infested with the wilt d.
sease. Ten acres of land was used.
in detailed research work each
year, with about 100 acres in ex-
periments and tests through the
years. In addition to these routine
plot trials, seed of resistant strains
have been supplied for about 200
acres of supervised commercial
trials by private tobacco growers.
MANY farmers in several North
Carolina counties have regularly
lost from to as high as 80 per
cent of their tobacco crop from
the Granville wilt disease" Moss
says. "This has resulted in a ire
mendous waste of manpower and
it is particularly fortunate that
we are able to release the seed of
Oxford rs tobacco at this time.
Oxford rs is resistant only to
Granville wilt. and not to other
root and stalk diseases that are
small etaoiny shrdlu cmfwyppy
similar to it in general appear
ance. As first step before
changing to Oxford rs, growers
should first determine whether or
not Granville wilt, is the disease
to be controlled on their farms.
1T should be remembered that
more than 10 years of continuous
work in the laboratory, green
house, and field plots has been
necessary to accomplish these re-
suits. The job had to be done
where the problem existed. The
ultimate objective was to do some
thing that would relieve the pres
ent situation and help the farmer
who had been struggling for years
to keep his home and compete on
equal terms with other farmers.
HE is now in position to do
this. He can plant a crop of to-
bacco with the assurance that,
other things being equal, he will
not be penalized by losing from
to three-fourths of his
crop to the dreaded Granville wilt
disease. The cured product seems
to have everything that goes to
make what the tobacco man calls
quality. 1t burns freely, has a
pleasing aroma, and has body
and weight. Both the yield and
color OF the new tobacco are sat-
isfactory.'
