TOMATOES AND TURNIPs.
What a Hall Acre Of Land Melted at
the Mississippi Agricultural College,
and What Crops Were Grown.

The first crop grown was iona
toes. The varieties used were Beau
ty, Acme, Dwarf Champion and
Magnus. The soil was of medium
fertility and Of a loamy nature. The
tomato seed were planted in the
greenhouse January ), in rows five
inches apart. When the plants were
about four inches tall they were put
in two-inch pots, and placed in a
half hardy greenhouse until they
were pot bound. By this time the
plants were about eight inches tall;
they were then transplanted with
sod Gin fve-inch plant bands in cold
frames; the date Of this planting
was about March /. Cotton seed
hulls were kept in readiness as a
covering, to be placed on the canvass
in the event Of a cold snap. Ere
quent ventilation and all the light
possible was given even N cold days
when the thermometer stood above
freezing. On April 10, the date
plants were removed to the field,
they had from one TO two clusters
of blooms on them. The soil was
prepared in the garden the fall be-
fore, in rows four feet apart. Ten
loads Of stable manure was applied
before the soil was prepared. The
plants were carried to the field on
hand barrows as carefully as possible
to prevent breaking the sod. and
were placed thirty inches apart in
the rows which had been previously
opened for their reception. The
bands were then removed BY cutting
the corner with a knife; soil was
pulled around each sod with a hoe,
afterwards the turning pillow was en-
pIoyed, and the planting was fin
ished. Within a few days the plants
had been pruned and tied to stakes.
a strawberry plant was then planted
between each tomato plant. Ere
quent but shallow cultivation was
employed during the season. The
plants were pruned SO as to make
two stems. The first tomatoes were
gathered for market June /, and
were sold in local towns at from 80
cents to $50 per six-baskct crate.
Tomatoes on this half acre melted
5000.
After the crop was removed it was
found that a large per cent of the
berry plants had died. The soil was
then prepared and all of the missing
places between the berry plants were
planted in purple top globe turnip-
seed. Scyenty-fvc dollars worth of
turnips were sold in the local mar
kcts from this planting. After the
turnips were removed all Of the miss
ing places were replaced in berry
plants and there is now a perfect
stand.
