BLUE-MOLD CONTROL 
In Tobacco Beds 
Bismuth Sulsalicylate 
(Wet Spray) 
Use 34 pound of Bismuth Sulsalicylate 
and 4 ounces of Vatsol K to 50 gallons water. 
This mixture must be well agitated while 
being used. Blue-mold protection obtained 
with bismuth spray lasts Jonger than that 
with Fermate. Seven or eight applications 
should be sufficient. Best results with bis- 
muth are had by spraying heavily and early. 
Rates of application per 900 square feet of 
bed, beginning with plants the size of a dime 
and spraying twice weekly are as follows: 
first to fourth application, 3 to 314 gallons; 
fifth to eighth application, 5 to 6 gallons. 
Bismuth and Vatsol K for 50 gallons, $3.50, 
postpaid $3.75. 
FERMATE (Dust Treatments) 
For dust treatments use 2 pounds Fermate 
and 12 pounds Talc. This makes a 15 per cent 
dust. Dusts should be mixed not more than 
six weeks in advance of use and stored in a 
dry place. Dust treatments should begin 
before blue mold appears. Use a good crank 
type duster and apply early mm the morning 
when plants are moist with dew. Cover must 
be removed to dust. Begin early, with plants 
the size of a dime, dust regularly twice a 
week, and apply enough dust. Apply to 900 
square feet of bed: first to fourth application, 
1 to 114 pounds; fifth and sixth application, 
2 to 24% pounds; seventh and subsequent, 
3 to 34% pounds. When a dust application is 
washed off by rain while blue mold is active, 
repeat the treatment at once. If blue mold is 
seen In a bed that is being dusted, increase the 
rate and make three instead of two applica- 
tions that week. Eight to twelve applications 
will be required. Fermate and Talc, 14 Ibs. 
$1.90, postpaid $2.15. (Because of shortage 
of Fermate, we cannot supply this material
