Aromatic Tobacco
Not Recommended
In Herald Area

What about aromatic tobacco?
That's an oft-asked question in
some Virginia farm circles these
DAYS. and here are some facts as
outlined by tobacco specialists at
VPI.
Aromatic. or Turkish, tobacco is
grown under contract with a buying
company, Prices range from 40
cents to $l25 per pound. depending
on the quality. The prices per grade
are shown in the contract and
growers know before the crop is
planted what their price per pound
for the different grades will be.
Growers who do the best Job of
producing aromatic tobacco make
aserage yields of from 800 to 1000
pounds per acre, with an average
price Of 80 cents per pound. How
ever, some growers produce some
tobacco that is worthless and for
which they are not paid.
The bales are weighed and graded
by company representatives The to-
bacco is not sold at auction and
there are no auction or warehouse
fees. Growers checks are received
about a week after tobacco is de-
liFered
Aromatic tobacco must be grown
on soil of low fertility Generally
800 to 400 pounds of fertilizer is
ellousht When grown ON fertile SOIL
the leaves become large and are
worthless because they have no
alona. Approximately $4,000 0
10000 plants are required to plant
one acre Rows must not be more
thtr 90 inches apart and plants
mus not be more than four TO five
inches aDart in the row, Barn cur
nag units currently in use cost $3.50
fer a unit that will cure tobacco
from two acres of land. A smaller
unit. designed to cure tobacco from
one acre, costs $3.50 These are oil
burning units with a system Of fans
and ducts for circulating the air.
The leaves are primed as they
rlpen over a period of seven or
eight weeks, Cured leaves are baled
and stored on the farm until DC
tDber or November
Production Of aromatic tobacco is
no. encouraged throughout the state,
as there is not enough technical as
sistance available to farmers. Dur
ing 1857 demonstrations will be con-
Quoted on several farms in Pitt
sylVania II Franklin counties.
Limited supervisory assistance will
be available in Buchanan, Carroll,
Grayson, Lee, Scott, and Smith
counties.

Rotenone is an effective spray
for use against parasites.

purpose spray machines is con-
stantly being discovered and per-
fected by the research workers in
state and federal service and in
commercial laboratories AS soon
as they are ready, your dealer viii
have them.
Livestock and poultry production
falls fast when farm parasites
abound, and your income falls like
wise. Fewer eggs, less milk,
slower gains in pork and beef,
poor feeces, and damage to cattle
hides are just few reasons for
the loss of half a billion dollars
due to extepal parasites annually.
You can save your own share Of
that loss by prompt and timely use

known control thus far devised,
but science is after something ever
better which fewer sprays will pro

Cattle are sprayed four or five
times IN a season-usually between
November and April Farmers
owning their own spray machine
are at an advantage here. Some
tunes community and civic groups
get togther for cooperative sprav
programs against the cattle grubs.
But there IS always constant Shift
