WOOD’S TREATED TOBACCO SEEDS 
WOOD’S TOBACCO SEEDS are all treated. This treatment is to prevent 
wildfire, black fire, angular leaf spot and other tobacco diseases 
CULTURE—It is customary to burn 
a piece of land in the woods for 
plant beds. This destroys grass, 
weeds and insects, adds fertility 
through the action of the wood ashes 
and leaves the ground in good order. 
The seeds are sown about February 
and protected by plant-bed cloth to 
keep off tobacco flies. When large 
enough and weather is settled (about 
June), set the plants out in highly 
manured or fertilized soil in 3}/ 2 -foot 
rows, 3 feet between the plants. Con¬ 
stant care must be given, cultivating, 
suckering, worming, etc. 
FOR BLUE MOLD—Red cop¬ 
per oxide in combination with 
Lethane Spreader and cotton¬ 
seed oil is recommended. (See 
page 86.) 
. FOR TOBACCO WORMS ap¬ 
ply either arsenate of lead or 
paris green with one of the dust 
guns offered on page 90. They 
apply the insecticides perfect¬ 
ly and the cost is small when 
it is remembered that they will 
last for years. 
One ounce will sow 50 square yards.
