Cyclopedia of farm crops : a popular survey of crops and crop-making methods in the United States and Canada cyclopediaoffarm00bailuoft Year: 1922, c1907 TOBACCO TRUCK-GROWING 653 and F. subgothica. They cut off or eat up the young plants immediately after transplanting. Combating is done by sowing along the rows a mixture of bran and Paris green (1 pound of Paris green to 50 pounds of bran). A small quan- tity of molasses may be added to the mixture. Budworm (Heliothis armiger)—This insect attacks the bud and tender leaves at the top of the plant during the growing period. Hand- picking and dusting or spraying with Paris green are effective. Pole-burn appears as dark spots near the middle rib or veins of the leaves, and may spread very rapidly. Careful application of heat and ventilation of the sheds to reduce humidity are the remedies. Root-rot {Thielavia basicola).—This fungus occurs most in seed-beds where it may be de- stroyed by sterilizing the soil with heat or for- malin before the seed is sown. In the iield, proper rotation of crops, drainage, the application of lime and fertilizers are suggested. Calico disease is not fully understood. Good cultivation, fertilization and favorable growing conditions are remedies. Literature. J. Carver, Culture of the Tobacco Plant, London ; John H. Cooke, Tobacco; J. L. P.
