Constantinople. June Acting up
on the advice of Izzet Bey, the Sultan
is leaving the peace negotiations who'll
ly in the hands of his ministers, thus
evading personal responsibility and
placing himself in a position to sacri-
flee them to popular indignation if ne
cessary.
1t is reported that the palace party
has entered into extensive stock ex-
change operations on the theory that
the markets will show a rise as the
prospect of peace increases. The Ot7
tomau ambassador at st. Petersburg
has informed the Porte that Count
Muravfeff. the Russian Foreign Minis
ter, told him he personally objected to
Russian intervention on behalf OF
Greece. and had counteracted the fem
mime intrigues started with that OBJ
ject, but the holy synod induced the
Gar to intervene.
1t is reported that armed Bulgarian
bands'have crossed the frontier near
Kossona and large force Of troops
has been sent to that point.

fly when grown in the same field. Pure
seed should be selected from isolated
varieties.
The tomato, as with other crops,
needs a rotation. The plants grown
on the same land from year to year,
although highly fortified, naturally de-
generate in time.
II order to secure results from cross
ing the tomato, one can not be too well
acquainted with the parent varieties,
nor have too clearly defined plans OF
procedure Haphazard crossing is OF
little value.
When the parents are very different
in character. the chances are that the
offspring will be weak. while the Off
spring of closely related species or
races is likely to be very vigorous.
ORIGIN OF TOMATOES.
The evolution OF our cultivated to-
matoes is interesting. The two species
from which all our garden varieties
have originated are Lycopersicum pim-
pinellifolium and Lycopersicum escu-
lentum. The former includes the Cur
rant" varieties, which are small and
borne in large clusters, sometimes spo-
ken of as the "Raisin" tomatoes. This
species is a South American variety,
and is found growing wild in both Bra
zil and Peru. Although known for
some time, comparatively little use has
been made of them. except for pickles,
preserves, and for ornamentation.
L. esculentum is the species from
It is thought also to have originated in
Peru, although it has been found in
other countries, as in Mexico and Cal
ifornia. in form similar to the cherry
tomato
History of Growth.-While the toma-
to was known in Europe as far back as
1861, but four varieties were found in
England in 1919. In these early days
it was grown mainly for ornament.
Prof Munson finds that the fruit was
first introduced into this country at
Philadelphia by French refugee from
st. Domingo, in 1898; and again by an
Italian painter, Come. at Salem, Mass.
about 1902. The beginning of general
culture of the tomato for market is
placed at about 1880. From this time
up to the present, the evolution of the
tomato has been steady. From the
fat, rough, and angular tomatoes, beau
tiful, round, regular fruits have been
developed. The Paragon variety was
the first to be so developed. Since
then other superior varieties have come
and gone. One would think further i'm
provement almost an impossibility, but
doubtless the advancement of the next
ten years will be as great, if not great
er, than that of the last decade.

There is probably no plant we have
so much literature upon, and that has
been studied so thoroughly from the
standpoint of plant breeding, as the to-
mato. This is doubtless due to the TACT
that it is easily grown, commonly used,
and offers exceptionally good oppor-
tunity for study.
The tomato plant is quickly suscepti-
BILE to careful selection, and it is by this
that value is given to cross results,
whether natural or mechanical.
In selecting tomato seed it has been
demonstrated that the plant as whole
has more hereditary influence than the
character of the individual fruit.
Repeated experiments have shown
that nothing is gained by selecting
seeds from first ripe fruit, regardless
Of the character Of the plant from which
they come.
When new varieties are desired
through crossing, the foregoing applies
equally to each parent. The more uni
form and persistent the parent, the
greater is the chance that it's charac-
teristics will be transmitted.
When the desired variety is once re-
allied, it is kept only by constant at
tention to selection. 1t is doubtless
chiefly due to carelessness in selection
that our varieties of tomatoes as
whole are so comparatively short
lived.
Tillage, fertilization, and other treat
ment of plants have their effect upon
tomato breeding. Poor soils and in
sufficient cultivation tend to pervert
the variety.
Keeping quality evidently has not
been generally taken into consideration
up to the present time in breeding the
tomato. Experiments at the Cornell,
New York, station go to show that
solid varieties may not be the best
keepers.
Hybridizing between the larger varie-
ties and the clustered, or currant toma-
toes, generally results in producing
fruit intermediate In size.

THE EMPEROR ROOTED.
Y At the Spring Parade on the Tempelhof

crounds the Populace Gets Ugly.
rar1in June 7.-Several unusual
to.+ures accompanied the great spring
,,arade on Tempelho grounds. By
.he rigorous police rule barring all
+r.fic from all streets leading to the
Tempelhof, the public was practically
ovcl,,ded from this sight, which for
many wears has been a popular diver
sion The orders were brutally car
ried out by the police, many persons
heino kicked and injured on the field.
The number of carriages was much
emaller than usual. The Emperor and
Empress while going to and coming
from the field were not once cheered
bv the populace, which was in a very
,o,I,A,nood. as the policy was attribut-
ed DC Emperor's orders. Several
,,e,.sflTs in the dense crowd booted the
Emperor which was instantly answer
cd bv the police dispensing the crowd
and arresting a score of people. The
Empress was pale and nervous, and
was so affected by all this that she suf-
fered from a violent headache and in
sisted upon returning at once to the
castle. The Emperor therefore stop
ped the parade before it was half fin
ished. In the jostle on leaving Tenn
pelhof, the Empress was again badly
scared. Women of the lower classes
suddenly appeared at the horses heads
and with a threatening gesture one of
the women threw petition in the face
of the Empress.

Declaration Iainst Retrocession.

Constantinople, June AT the
meeting between the ambassadors and
the Turkish Minister for Foreign At
fairs, Tewtik Pasha, at the Tophane
palace, Sir Philip Currie, the British
ambassador, M. Cambon, the French
ambassador and Signor Pansa, the ltal-
ian ambassador, made a distinct de-
claration against the retrocession OF
of Thessaly to Turkey. This attitude
of the three powers named is regarded
as being of the highest political I'M
portance, in view of the fact that since
the Cars telegram to the Sultan there
has been a marked reapproachment
between Russia and Germany Here
the opinion is expressed that the indl-
cations point to a resuscitation OF the
league of the three Emporers, If that
league is not already an accomplished

Miles City, Mont, June THE ru-
NOR sent abroad that settlers were re-
turning with their families to their
homes is not true. About fifty fami-
lies, refugees from the Indians, are
still in this city, and others are COM
ing in daily. AS many as seven and
eight families are huddled together in
one cottrge, with TO thought of return
ing to tn cir homes while the Indians
are off the reservation. A school
teacher who had been teaching on
Otter creek, near the reservation and
about sixty miles from here. has ar
rived, having ridden the entire dis
lance on bicycle in one day. She
reports several small bands of Indians
prowling along the hills on foot.
Over 200 Indians are off the reserva-
ton, scattered in small bands, roam.
ing the country and committing dep
relations and devouring everything in
their line of march. There are said to
be 300 Indians on the reservation.

Clover.-The medium red clover will
grow as large as is profitable for feed
ing if sown on rich land. The mann
moth or pea vine clover, as it is often
called. grows too coarse for feeding.
and it is besides so hard to cure that
much of it turns dark before it can be
put in barn or stack. But for blowing
under the mammoth clover is best. 1t
is also a much surer seeder than is the
medium clover. though this depends in
part on the number Of humble bees,
which needs to be pretty large, with
the mammoth variety, as it seeds with
the first growth. In order to have the
clover seed ripen the mammoth clover
is usually cut later, and often after the
vines have fallen on the ground. so
that much both Of the clover and seed
is wasted. No matter how carefully
the mammoth clover is cut, enough
seed is spilled upon the ground to
make a good deal Of clover come in
whenever in later years the land is
plowed.-EX.
