However, some growers ignored the warning and put the entire south central Pennsylvania crop at risk, importing diseased plants. Those same specialists called an emergency meeting early in July in Leola and quickly' designed an effective spray application modifi cation to typical boom sprayers used so that growers could protect their investments. Despite the drought, harvest went on and the curing season was dry. It resulted in a fine tobacco crop. However, the major tobacco processors, as of presstime, still hadn’t approved the buyers to bid on most of the county’s crop at auction, so sales remain largely unrealized. L Anita M HW.
