BIG TOMATO ACREAGE.
Davis County Farmers Will Have a
Good Market.
Especial Correspondencsl

Especial Correspondence)
Clinton, May 19.-In the north end of
Davis county the setting out of tomato
plants is occupying the attention of
many of the farmers. The acreage of
tomatoes this year will be about three
times that of 1898. The increase is
owing to the establishment of another
canning factory and to the increasing
of the capacity of the Syracuse fac
tory.
The Woods Cross Canning & Picking
company depends very largely for its
tomatoes upon the farmers of South
Weber, who supply it with many hun
dreds of tons each year, and with
factory at Clinton, one at Syracuse
and one at Hooper, all within five miles
Of each other, it will be seen that the.
producing of tomatoes is becoming an
industry of great Importance in this
section.
The farmers are being assisted ma
terially this year in their most tedious
and time-consuming labor of setting
out the plants by a machine that it is
claimed will plant ten acres per day
