about four feet by three and on0-half feat.
The variety was splendid specimen Of
the Beauty. The vines grew very large
and rank.
Most Of those fields making their hoay-
lest deliveries prior TO October lst, were
set with transplanted plants.
In nearly every instance where small
plants were set rather late in field. espec-
tally on land given no special preparation,
the fruit was not setting on the vines un-
til about the goth Of July. This means
there will be no ripe fruit before tho first
Of September and that the greater por-
ton will not be ripe before October lst.
It can be readily seen what an sdyant-
age there is in having the fruit riponing
the last Of July. instead Of just forming.
II means that the heaviest deliveries can
be made about the middle Of September.
before frost will do any injury TO the to-
mato thus insuring good. uniform pack.
The results on a whole indicate that
soil conditions play considerable part in
tomato growing. 1t is well known that
the tomato is partial to virgin soil and
that sandy soil is preferable to clay.
One cor aiming considerable adobe is not
desirable.
Increase in vigor and produetiveness
evidently are closely associated with care
ful handling and good tillage. There can
be no question but that transplanting
properly done is invaluable.
Stocky plants. vigorous and growing
well. are better than simply early plants.
Transplanting does not avail anything
over good early plants, unless the trans
planting is done sufficient time to in
crease the root system together with its
strength and vigor. A good healthy plant
started medium early and kept growing
vigorously. is preferred to early plants al
lowed to become too thick in the bed.
1t is also preferable to a transplanted
plant that has been stunted.
A good tomato plant, at time Of setting
in field. is one that is stocky enough to
hold the weight Of ITSELF together with a
considerable amount Of dirt: about the
diameter Of large lead pencil and from
six to eight inches in height A tall.
weak plant is not worth setting.
The desirable thing to secure in this
country Of short seasons and cool nights,
is thrifty plant having the ACE. 1t
stands to reason that the older the plant,
the sooner it will come to bearing.
Every tomato grower should be pre-
pared to grow his own plants. BY SO
doing he has his plants ready to be set

especially the former. is apt to be strongly
alkaline in early spring. The tomato is
not tolerant Of alsali and the water may
produce results that tho plant will not
throw off during the season.
The tomato is one Of the most ineon-
slant and variable Of garden vegetables.
The past season there was much loss
oeeasioned by many folds failing to bear
fruit typical Of the Beauty variety.
Seed selection is feature Of the busi-
ness that has not been given proper at
tention. Good results have beon secured
in q few Instances. from home grown
seed. and believe better results could be
secured by the use Of our own seed.
The tomato does not require an abund-
anee Of water. but it does require uni
form and constant supply.
It requires the most water at the time
Of fruiting. |. e.. when the plants begin to
bloom quite well. The growth is Of a
suceulent nature and too plentiful sup
ply in its early stages causes a yellowish.
tender growth instead OF dark. healthy
green. forming wood instead Of fruit buds.
The heat and reflection Of the sun from
our light eolored soils may have serious
effect on the tomato. The vines should
be close enough to shade the ground dur
ing portion Of July and August. Plant
ing should be done about four feet each
way. That it is none too close we have
good evidence in the field OF Mr.. Harlow,
previously noted. His plants were even
closer than this. and yet he got more
fruit on one acre than many secure on
four acres.
The sun and heat may cause physio-
logical troubles that are commonly called
blight, or the fruit may be blistered by
exposure.
The large. green tomato worm, that
eats the foliage, may be easily controlled
by spraying with the mixture commonly
used for apple trees.

in other respects not SO desirable.
Summing UP the work Of throo seasons
with this crop feel safe in drawing the
following conclusions:
/. That some good crops have beon
grown every year and Il proper methods
are employed good results may be So
cured by large majority Of the growers
every year.
2. Seed of known quality must be
used.
5. Proper selection Of variety.
4. Tho plants must be sown carly SO
as to give them age. strength and a good
root system.
S. The plants should be thrifty and
set in open field as soon as frost will per-
nit. Usually about May 10th.
6. That sandy or loamy soil is prefer
able. but it should be well fertilized with
some auiek-aeting fertilizer. That vir-
gin soil gives good results. Alfalfa sod
produces splendid crops.
z. A constant and uniform supply
Of moisture. but not an abundant supply
until after the blooming period is well
advanced
8. Close planting that the ground may
be shaded to prevent injury to vine and
fruit.
9. The tomato is valuable crop with
which to subdue alfalfa for succeeding
crops.
10. That the crop should be ready for
canning fully three weeks earlier than
has been the custom. thus insuring profit
to the grower and to the packer.

TOMATO CULTURE
UNDER IRRIGATION.
synopsis OF a Paper Read at the
Farmers Institute, by H.H. Grif-
fin. Supt. Arkansas Valley
ENpcrimcnt Station.

Produetyeness in the tomato at our al
utudu is largely q question Of early bear
ing. The plant will outlive our seasons
hence its life is determined by the con-
t.nroneiCs of frost rather than by any in
hsrant limit OF duration.
Il IS apparent that all the advantage
possible. must be taken Of that portion Of
tho season most favorable to its fruiting.
Contrary 70 opinion. the tomato is
rather good feeder. a crop Of toma-
toes removes one hundred per cent more
potash and over fifty per cent more nitro
gen than a crop Of Irish or sweet pota-
toss.
Much may depend upon the soil used
f7- tomatoes and still more upon the
character Of the fertilizer. Whatever the
fertilizer. it should be one quickly avail
able to the plant. Fertilizers that give
up their substance late in the season give
poor results because they delay fruitful
ness.
The work Of 1902 was a continuation.
largely. Of that reported in 1901. At the
station il comprised the following:
/. Comparison Of plants grown in
field with those from hotbed.
2. Comparing transplanteu plant S
with those not transplanted.
5. Comparison of land we'll fertilized
with land not fertilized.
4. Comparison Of early and late plants.
In addition close observation was kept
on many fields in the valley.
Transplanted plants gave the first ripe
fruit and as rule, were from three to
four weeks earlier than the other plants
set about the same time.
Plants grown from seed in the field
ripened about the same time and yielded
about the same as the late plants from
the hotbed.
Plants from the hotbed set late in May
did not rpen fruit until the last of Sep
tember and the yield was light.
Transplanted plants were yielding fruit
in such quantity as to warrant delivering
to a canning factory by the goth OF Au-
gust.
The above results are in harmony with
the growers wherever it was possible to
make comparisons.
Probably the best crop Of tomatoes
this year was that of MIR. II. W. Harlow.

Agreement Signed at Indianapolis a

Indianapolis, Feb 9.-The miners
and operators of the competitive dis
tricts have agreed upon scale ct
wages for the ensuing year ana the
threatened strike of soft coal men has
been averted.
The operators concede that the
agreement is a victory for the miners
IL grants an average increase or
wages Of 12h per cent The scale
shows that many material concessions
have been made by the miners from
their original demands. They did
get the absolute run of mine basis nor
the fat differcntial of Z cents. They
asked for an advance of l212 cents
per ton and received 6 cents on the
mine run basis An increase Of 22 per"
cent IS made on inside day labor.
The wage scale signed directly ana
indirectly affects the wages of 100000
miners. Those directly affected are
the miners in the states Of the centraf
