New Variety
flue-Cured Leaf
Available For 3!

North Carolina farmers will
have new variety of flue-cur-
ed tobacco available for 1883
planting.
The new variety, NC 10, was
developed BY the u. $. Depart
ment of Agriculture and the N.
c. Agricultural Experiment S.a-
ton.
According 20 DR.. Kenneth r.
Keller, assistant Experiment
Station director in charge of
tobacco research, NC 73 is a
moderate yicldcr, yielding about
the same as Hicks. 1t is highly
resistant TO black shank and
moderately resistant to fusarium
wilt.
The cured leaf has character
isticS similar to old-,inG types
medium bodied with normal
grain and texture Aroma and
flavor of this new variety vary
up TO a moderate level.
These characteristics give NC
73 the following strong points,
DR.. Keller said.
CD 1t is similar to old-iine
varieties, which will widen the
choice of black shank resistant
varieties. (2) While the cured
leaf is not as clear III color as
that of Hicks, NC 10 produces
leaf Of less off-color than some
other disease resistant varieties
90 II produces less fuckers than
ONE popular varieties now in
production. (4) Over a two-year
period, the disease and yield
data have been uniform.
DR. Keller also lists the fol-
lowing weak points of NC 10.
~ Research workers nave
noted some difficulty in curing

small compartmcn:al curing
barnes used in their research. In
general however, the curing mas

Union Carbide Plans
Marietta Expansion

Union Carbide Corporation
announced that it is going ahead
this year with the expansion of
its production facilities, as plan
ned, and will spend in the neigh
borhood of $3.50 million on new
construction. This compares with
expenditures of $145 million in
1855 and $3.50 million in 1857.
Despite the current decline in
business conditions, it has de-
cided to proceed with its expan-
sion program. This decision, he
said, was based on the strong
position of the corporations pro-
ducts in fast-groWing areas of
the chemicals industry and a
faith in the future growth of the
country's economy as a whole.
Significant construction pro-
jects include plant at Marietta
to produce liquid epoxy resins
and an expansion of the corpora
tion's large plant at Ashtabula.
