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.

Download or read book Connecticut Valley Tobacco written by Brianna E. Dunlap and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cigar tobacco runs in the blood of Connecticut River Valley farmers. Delve into the surprising history of the region's most iconic crop, all the way back to early Native American uses and the boom of the Civil War. Though fashionable in the 1950s, the popularity of cigars declined a decade later, nearly destroying the region's tobacco industry. A resurgence in the 1990s brought new life to the crop, and the reopening of Cuba in 2015 added a new chapter for cigar tobacco. Brianna Dunlap, director of the Connecticut Valley Tobacco Museum, provides a guide to important tobacco landmarks from East Haddam to Brattleboro, featuring stunning photography from Leonard Hellerman. It is the story of the people--the farmers and field hands--who made tobacco the soul of the valley.

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.
