Plant Disease Sleuths
On Alert For
Tobacco Menace

A staff of federal "sleuths" will
be Oh the alert this month through
out sections of the Carolinas. Vir-
ginia, and Tennessee in an attempt
to head off 'saboteur" that
threatens to seriously cripple the
multi-million-dollar tobacco indus
try.
The "saboteur" is a disease
known as blue mold and the
"sleutks" are members of a pIant
disease warning service operated
by the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.
Last year, following an excep-
tionaly warm January, blue mold
was first discovered in Marion
County, S. c., on February IA - a
good month ahead of it's normal
appearance. Warnings were fash
ed to growers throughout the area
so plant beds might be protected
against Onslaughts of the disease
which is spread by air-bOrne spores
Even so, the blue mold wave spread
so swiftly that plant stands were
said to average only about so per
cent of normal and a serious short
age of plants developed at the time
of transplanting into fields.
Approved chemical funEicides
should be sprayed or busted on
beds when plants are the size of a
dime, with repeated applications
every 10 to IA days, in e-9sr to
protect them with a coating that
will ward off blue mold fungi. ao-
cOrding to Howard r. Garriss. eY-
tension plant pathologist of North
Carolina State College in Raleigh
N. G. Growers who have followed
such a program, starting Chemical
applications before appearance of
blue mold in their sections and
continuing until planting time, have
been able to more than double the
number OF healthy plants from the
same sized bed, he declared.
Results over a number Of ware
now prove the tobacco grower can
successfully use ferbam or zineh
Tor blue mold control and assure
healthy plants in a section where
the disease wipes out unprotected
plant beds" Mr.. Garriss said. "Com-
paratiVe costs Of growing enough
plants for 10 acres, both with and
without this chemical protection
snow the grower who applies fung-
claes can save around S12O in an
ordinary year through successfully
producing his plant needs on small
er BEDS" -''''i
The chemicals referred to are
both modern organic fungicides de-
Veloped by DUPONT Company re-
search in the field of agricultural
chemicals. Ferbam is the generic

name for the active chemical in
"Fermate" fungicide, well-known
blue mold control. Zineb is the
generic name of the active chemi-
cal in another blue mold control
material, available as "Parzate"
fungicide, and also under several
other trade names.
Neither is curative in action. Mr..
Garriss pointed out. But when an
piled before the disease strikes they
will destroy blue mold spores which
come in contact with them, or pre-
vent these spores from attaching
themselves to plant leaves.
Mr.. Garriss also warned that the
seeding of plant beds too early or
too thickly may result in tender
plants which will not do well when
transplanted in the field.

Trucking Taxes Rated
Low in Maryland
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE. Nov. 14.-Truck-
ers in IS other States are paying
higher taxes to operate cotton
vehicles than it costs in Maryland,
a report showed today.
The survey was made by New
York's Joint Legislative Commit
tee on Highways, Canals and
Revenues. 1t analyZed the total
taxes truckers are paying in the
wake of new levies passed this
year by State lawmakers.
In Maryland. the report showed,
"a 20-ton trailer truck owner pays
an average of s810 for a years
use of the roads. That contrasts
with North Carolina's high OF
81 ,947 and national average OF
81 ,049. The trucker gets of
easiest in New Jersey. where he
pays an average of $490.
The 20-ton truck was chosen
for particular analysis because il
is the most generally used type OF
commercial vehicle, the committee
pointed out. Included in the sur
vey were license fees; gasoline
property and gross receipt taxes;
mileage fees and other fund
raising measures.
In the same 20-ton category
West Virginia ranked 18th highest
with $1.234.50 and Virginia was
14th at S1,211.22.

Senator Taft. Republican, of Ohio,
said last night that the United
States cannot be safe from war
as long as President Truman re-
mains in Office.
In a blunt, hard-hitting attack
on American foreign policy, Sena-

He (the President) usurped the
power OF Congress to make that
war;" said the Ohio Senator. Its
a Truman war. He did it, I be-
lieve without the slightest au-
thority"

And in one brief mention of
the Atlantic pact and its provi-
Sions for sending several United

tor Taft caustically said:
The Atlantic Pact did not
Justify the sending of any troops
to Europe"
Senator Taft spoke at the clos

Senator Taft's consent, however

said. "The wavering foreign policy
