Our tobacco seed production this 
year is from State Experiment Sta- 
tion’s Foundation Seed. Grown, rogued 
and harvested by an expert that spent 
a major part of his life in charge of 
a State Tobacco Research Experiment 
Station and produces and handles to- 
bacco seed with the technical care, 
precaution and general know-how that 
only experience and study can give. 
All plants in field destroyed except 
ones used for seed. Fields isolated 
from other tobacco up to 20 times 
the distance required for certification. 
No tobacco harvested from these fields. 
They were planted, cared for and 
used as seed producing fields only. He 
secured his foundation stock seed from 
the following sources: Ga. Experi- 
ment Station, N.C. Experiment Sta- 
tion, and Va. Experiment Station. 
Our packaging and handling of to- 
bacco seed is the direct responsibility 
and under the direct supervision of 
one person, who has had years of ex- 
perience in this work. 
The above assures you of getting 
top quality seed, and at fair prices.

TOBACCO PLANT BED MANAGEMENT 
Choose a well-drained soil, high in organic matter, that 
lies to the east or south and is protected from the wind. 
Sow one level tablespoonful per 100 square yards. 
Plant 100 square yards for each 1 to 2 acres to be planted. 
Beds 2 yards wide can be worked much easier than wider 
beds. Weeds can be controlled by correct use of chemicals. 
KRILIUM has proven to be ever so valuable in keeping 
the soil open and porous, enabling the plants to develop 
greater root systems, and the roots do not break or damage 
as badly when pulled. This means bigger root systems and 
healthier plants are transplanted to give you quicker grow- 
ing and less replanting. 
FERTILIZER. 1 to 2 pounds of 4-9-3 plant bed fertilizer 
to the square yard should be thoroughly worked into the top 
2 inches of soil. Mix one level tablespoonful of seed with a 
few pounds of cotton seed meal or fertilizer and sow uni- 
formly over 100 square yards. Settle the soil with a light 
tamper. Use good tight side walls and cover with a cloth. 
In Virginia sow beds by February 10th. Further south 
beds should be sown earlier. 
Don’t wait until blue mold strikes.
