s'Early Livingston - large, smooth. pink
ISL or red tomato. I bought the plants
from my nurseryman-they were stocky
and about six inches tall-and put them out
early. Watered them once o week, Hood
ing the ground TO thorough saturation each
time, until they began TO blossom
l soon found that every time watered
the plants all the blossoms IS well as the
young fruit would fall on, aud when the
plants were two feet tall 1 had no fruit;
/ then concluded to water every two weeks;
at the end of the first two weeks
I had quite a nice crop of fruit set from an
inch in diameter down TO the blossom.
The plants by this time began TO need
support, and for this purpose, planted six
posts four feet tall, three on side, and
nailed a frame around the top, which
was sixteen feet in length and four
feet in width; and with Stats
SIX feet in length placed foot
apart inside of the frame, with the lower
ends planted in the ground one foot from
the plants on either side, had substan-
tial support
I continued to water every two weeks
during the entire season, as we had no
rain, and every time the plants were
watered the young fruit just shedding the
blossom, and many of the matured bios
SONS would drop, but the older fruit would
remain and prosper, and in three or four
DAYS the young fruit would begin to set,
and in two weeks another crop would be
set; thus had succession of crops during
the entire season. furnishing more toma-
toes than large family could use. The
plants so completely covered the frame be-
fore the end of the season that / was COM
PEELED to extend the frame two feet taller.
All of the lower leaves and barren
branches should be removed from time to
time 10 allow free access to air and sun
shine. which hastens the perfection OF the
fruit. and encourages the growth and Vlgor
of the fruiting branches.
The body of the plants will attain great
size and length; some of them were more
than an inch in diameter, and ten feet IN
length.
OF course If you have rains you must take
the season into consideration.
In irrigating it is absolutely necessary to
thoroughly satGrate the ground, but not
necessary TO wet the foliage Of the plants;
and allow me to remark here that with the
present system of city waterw0rizs which
furnishes in some localities all arteslan
water, and in all parts mixture. that 1t IS
better to allow no water on the foliage, as
the artesian water is injurious, when
applied in this manner, to most plants.
The preparation of the ground is impor-
tant but simple. Well rotted vegetable
mould makes the best fertilizer for toma-
toes. ii. y. WARD.
Fort Worth, Texas.
Our correspondent, who, by the way, is
one of the best informed men in the city,
has evidently made slight mistake in his
method of watering. He mentions flooding
as his method, which means, we take it,
that he ran water upon the surface of his
bed Until the bed was thoroughly saturated.
To this method is doubtless due the drop

MOVE on THE BASKET WORM.

The basket worms described by you last
week are on my place They killed two
beautiful cedars for me last year, eating all
the leaves off. I now find the cedars as
dead and dry as an old bone. When they
had finished my cedars they went to an cid
blackberry in the yard and well-nigh put an
end to it. regard the matter as a very
serious one, and do hope that our peo-
pie will go To work burning
the baskets. Several of my neighbors
laugh aud say it will amount to nothing
anyway, but have my grave fears that
you are correct in your predictions that un-
less destroyed on the plan suggested in
your article that it will eventually destroy
about all the trees in Fort Worth. 1 am
burning the baskets, but what can prom
Use myself when my neighborS laugh and
let them aIone2 OF course the supply my
neighbors raise will soon re-stock my trees.
fully believe the city ought TO take the
matter in hands and either destroy the in
sects while it is yet time, or compel their
destruction at the hands of persons having
them on their places. G. o. W.
Fort Worth, Tex.
We had not thought of the city taking the
matter in hands, but the idea is not bad
one. If the city authorities have the right
to make people build sidewalks in front of
their property, or to compel the removing
of weeds, grass, etc., they would certainly
have the power to enforce the removal of a
nuisance, which unless removed, will prob
ably destroy all our street and yard trees.
The great trouble in such cases lies in the
fact that you cannot make people believe
what you tell them, even when they havs
| no reason whatever for not believing it. a
city movement on the basket worms would
be little on the old principle that "a bird
capable of singing and still refusing to sing,
should be made to sing"
There is no "devil's riding horse" joke
about the basket worms. They are here,
and "a mournful fact,'' as Horace Greeley
said about the carpet baggers. Unless
some steps are taken looking to their exter-
mination there viii be next fall at least 500
where there IS one now.
As stated last week, this is no new thing.
Fort Worth is not the first city upon which
basket worms have dropped, claiming all
the street trees as their own, and finally
establishing the claim, as they viii do here,
undoubtedly, unless checked by prompt
action this spring.

sorghum, which cut and fed to my milk
cow, and to my horse. Some time early in
November we had 4 biting frost At noon,
after the frost. I cut and fed the cow q
moderate feed of the sorghum. not suspect

milking time came in the evening / dis
covered that my cow was sick, apparently
suffering intensely. Several old citizens
said it was caused by the frnst-bitten
sorghum; that frost-bitten sorghum would
kill COWS. and that it was folly for me to
attempt doing anything for her. But a
physician fixed up prescription and gave
it to her The medicine brought relief, but
it was week ere she seemed entirely well,
now began to inquire about frost-bitten
sorghum, and some reliable men told me
they had lost COWS in short time after
they had eaten the frost-bitten cane. One
man said two of his COWS got into the patch
of frost-bitten sorghum at night and were
both dead next morning.

For the benefit of myself and your read
ers generally, will you please give through
The GAZETTE an article on castor bean
culturel Please let Us know whsther or
not the crop has ever been tried in Texas,
and made anything Of q success. would
be glad to hear from any farmers who have
had experience with the castor bean.
Whitney, Tex. j. D. REED.
A good deal on castor bean culture for
Texas has already appeared in these
columns, but considering that we now have
hosts of new subscribers who were not
taking the paper year ago, we shall en-
deavor to get up the desired article in a
short time. We may add here, however,
that the castor bean appears to do well it
all parts of the state, and that it is quite
extensively grown in Parker county, where
(at Weatherford) a castor oil mill has been
established. We think it highly probable
that you might get circulars giving you
much valuable information by addressing

THAT RAsKEr woRM.

am under obligations to you for what
you said last week relative to the basket
worm. They have since all gone TO ashes
on our place, and 1 do hope that all the
people of Fort Worth will act in the matter
as | have acted. After reading your article
looked about over town little and was
surprised at the large numbers OF basket
worms that I saw hanging on trees in
almost every yard Until then I did not
know that others than ourselves had them.
On some trees you will see only dozen or
so of the baskets, while other trees are
literally loaded with them. 1 think every
body ought to take down and burn every
one they can see. LADY.
Fort Worth, Tex.
You are entirely correct as to what our
people ought to do. A dozen baskets on
one tree will yield enough worms in the
new brood to actually load the tree this
summer If persons will make it their
rule to promptly destroy every basket on
their trees they may speedily cut short the
growth of this troublesome insect in Fort
Worth, but it must be d5ne without delay.
They are easily seen now, while the leaves
are of-after the leaves are on there will
be no need of seeing them, for the young
worms will be Matched and at work on the
trees

ping of his flowers and young fruit. 1t is
always best to run the water into trenches
between the rows, or on either side of the
single row, of two or three feet from the
plants, never allowing drop of it to get
upon the surface of the bed. From these
trenches the water will soak out laterally
to the roots of the plants, and give them
the needed moisture. and it will not call for
so much water to irrigate by this method as
by flooding. The trenches should be about
one foot deep, and not over one foot wide at
the surface. Water should be run into
them once a week in time of regular drouth,
and should never be allowed to rise to
nearer than four inches of the top or COM
mon level. Evening is the best time to let
in the water so that it will all be soaked
into the soil by morning. OF course the
trenches must be so located and arranged
that the water will stand in them and not
run off. This is regular irrigation as ap-
proved by our leading irrigation scientists.
Why this method is entirely best could
be easily explained by our capable CORE
spondent, if he would take the pains to
LOOK lIlIO lD6 uldbbGT-DeblcE tLdu Dg US.
Our Trinity waters, as well as our artesian
waters, are more or less mineralized, as he
suggests. Those mineral elements carried
by the waters are really advantageous to a
soil where the waters are let into it by the
trench system, but when thrown upon the
! surface they act On our soil elements and
evolve certain gases, which floating up
ward affect the blossoms and very young
fruit This chemical action few inches
beneath the surface does not throw of
these gases, as they are held back by the
untouched surface soil.
Last summer we saw clear demonstra-
ton of this thing in several instances. To-
matoes watered by flooding or sprinkling
were doing no good to speak of, while to-
matoes on the same character of soil
watered by the trench system, were doing
as well as tomatoes could do.
We thank our correspondent for his ex-
cellent and timely article. 1t ought to open
to hundreds of our people an easy way of
keeping themselves abundantly supplied
with that delicious fruit, the tomato.

give the locality Of the writer even with
fctious signature, for without this the
letter, having a local bearing. perhaps,
would be robbed of its leading interest.
AS to the other matter we can say to this
correspondent that he has been wrongly
informed. We are ever open to an attempt
at correction, even though we very rarely
take position that we do not know to be
entirely correct We seldom give our own
opinion in any case, but base what we have
TO say on renderinss made by the highest
authorities to be reached.
There is one thing, however, that we win
here put in as new rule. Any person OPP
posing positions taken in this department
OF The GAZETTE must do it over his real
signature and address. He must make
himself responsible for what he is saying.
We are not willing to fight phantoms If
man writes US long article in opposition
to the teachings Of true science, he must
not expect it to get through the paper as
the work of some unknown Regular
READER or some unknown ''Old Texan,
or something of that kind-we intend that
the writer's neighbors shall know exactly
who the writer is, and therefore be pre-
pared to pass Judgment upon the correct
ness, or otherwise, of what he is saying, es-
pecially so far as relates to local matters re-
ferred to in substantiaion of his position.
