Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies on the Tobacco Crop of Connecticut Wrapper leaf tobacco, the only type of leaf raised in this state, is our largest cash crop. The government crop report for 1912 shows that tobacco was grown on 17,500 acres in Connecticut, that the yield was over twenty-nine million seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds and that the value on the farm was more than seven million one hundred thousand dollars, exceeding that of all cereals grown in Connecticut, of all the timothy and clover, and more than half as large as that of all the forage crops. This Station has been called upon to help growers in such ways as it could to improve the quality, increase the quantity and decrease the cost of growing the crop. The results of this work have been printed from time to time during the last twenty years, but the demand from within and without the state has exhausted the supply of bulletins and reports on the subject. As the call for them still continues, the following summary of our results has been prepared, with references to our original reports which can be found in libraries if more detailed study of any topic is desired and also to the valuable work which has been done elsewhere on tobacco of the cigar-wrapper type but which cannot be adequately described within the limits alloted to this bulletin.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tobacco Growing in the Connecticut River Valley Tobacco has been grown in the Connecticut valley since about 1840, and while the crop has had its ups and downs it may be said to have steadily increased in acreage since that time. The past fifteen years have seen by far the greatest percentage of increase, and the end is not yet. Every grower is growing all the tobacco that he can hang in his curing sheds, and so new sheds are the very best indication of an increase in acreage. The increase Of 1915 over the 1914 acreage was around 25 per cent. This crop is by far the most important money crop grown in this section, and represents extensive and intensive agriculture of the highest order. The rapid increase of the past fifteen or twenty years may be explained by improved machinery, more abundant help, and, most important of all, the fact that in recent years the crop has brought prices that enable the grower to make expenses and have something left over for his labor and as a profit for his Operations. The successful tobacco grower is a specialist, as no crop grown calls for more scientific knowledge or the application of more common sense. In the growing, harvesting and curing of the crop the grower has to know something of practical chemistry, physics and biology.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tobacco Culture in Connecticut At the beginning of the nineteenth century the increasing popularity of cigars and the introduction of the Broadleaf tobacco induced a heavy expansion of acreage, but since no official statistics were kept, the extent of the increase cannot be stated. The first official figures which Show the size of the industry in the state are in the Federal Census of 1840. According to this, there were pounds of tobacco raised in New England in 1839. Assuming a yield of pounds to the acre, which was the average annual yield of the first two decades for which we have acreage records, we may estimate that only about 380 acres were planted to tobacco in Connecticut and Massachusetts in 1839. In 1849 production had increased to pounds. The next decade saw tremendous gain so that there Was more than six times as much tobacco produced in 1859 as in 1849 - about acres. This wave of expansion continued until after the Civil War. Beginning with 1862 there are official records showing the number of acres of tobacco cultivated, as well as the pounds produced each year. These figures are assembled in Table 11. They show a fairly steady pro duction of 6, 000 to acres annually up to the end of the century. Then follows a gradual rise until the outbreak of the World War, and rapid expansion during and shortly after the war period, culminating in the peak of acres in 1921. A violent drop came in 1925 followed by still further drastic reductions in 1932 and 1933. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tobacco Breeding in Connecticut Tobacco is a naturally close pollinated plant, although inter crossing through the agency of insects is probably somewhat frequent. Observations on the earlier blossoms of the flower head have convinced the writers that in many cases, at least, fertilization of the pistil has taken place before the blossom opens. In the later flowers the chances of intercrossing are much greater, as the blossom often opens before fertilization has been accomplished. It is evident that, as tobacco is a naturally close-fertilized plant, it must be vigorous under self fertilization, but some data on actual controlled inbreeding are given to further substantiate this belief. Darwin, in his classical experiments on inbreeding and cross breeding, found some types which were very vigorous when continually self-fertilized. Garner (1912) reports that a number of types have been inbred under bags for six or eight years by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture without any observable change in vigor or growth habit. A certain strain of our present Connecticut Cuban shade type, now grown on one of our large plantations, was inbred for a period of five years (1903-1908) by saving seed from individual plants under a paper bag. Since that time seed has been saved from desirable plants under cloth tent, the chances, however, seeming very small that seed so produced will be cross-fertilized. Instead of showing a loss of vigor due to self-fertilization, this type seems more Vigorous than in the early years of its introduction. The Sumatra type, which has been used as one of our parent varieties, has been inbred for a period of seven years, without giving any evidence of accumulated evil effects of inbreeding.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wildfire of Tobacco in Connecticut In the disease survey considerable data were obtained, much of which, however, was merely an extension of the knowledge of diseases and injuries that had been previously studied more or less intensively by the Station botanist. It is hoped to present 'this and further data in future bulletins from this department. One of the striking features of the survey was the discovery of a tobacco disease, new to the state, which has now proved to be quite serious under certain conditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soil Reaction and Liming as Factors in Tobacco Production in Connecticut Not only are the yield results different for the various sections but even in the same state the effect may be different, for example, Virginia. On the same field liming may be beneficial at first but injurious later; for example, Ohio and Massachusetts. Although results in most cases have been measured solely or mainly in yield, impairment of quality has also been mentioned in Maryland and in Canada.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Insect Pests of Growing Tobacco in Connecticut Insects are characterized as small animals having six legs in some period of their existence. Many of them go through four stages before their development is complete. The usual life cycle includes the egg, the larva, (caterpillar, maggot, worm grub) the pupa, and finally, the adult. In some forms of insect life the pupa stage is omitted. From the standpoint of the economic entomologist, insects may be divided into two groups: (1) Those that chew the tissues and (2) those that pierce the plant and suck the sap. The members of the first group have biting mouth parts and injure foliage by actually cutting Off small pieces of plant tissue and swallowing them. Obviously this class may be controlled by placing a stomach poison on the leaves so that it will be taken into the digestive system. It follows logically that insects of the second group must be held in check through some other kind of agency, since their food comes from within the plant. Hence the development of contact insecticides which kill by actual contact with the body. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
