TOMATOES AND TURNlPs.
What a Half Acre Of Land Melted at
the Mississippi Agricultural COLLEGE,
and What Crops Were Grown.

the Mississippi Agricultural College,
and What Crops Were Grown.
The first crop grown was toma-
toes. The varieties used were Beau
ty, Acme, Dwarf Champion and
Magnus. The soil was of medium
fertility and of loamy nature. The
tomato seed were planted in the
greenhouse January S, 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 in fve-inch plant bands in cold
frames; the date of this planting
was about March l. Cotton seed
hulls were kept in readiness as a
covering, to be placed on the canvass
in the event Of cold snap. Ere
quent ventilation and all the light
possible was given even on 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 knife: soil was
pulled around each sod with hoe,
afterwards the turning pillow was en-
.ployed, and the, planting was fin
lshed. Within few days the plants
had been pruned and tied to stakes.
A strawberry plant was then planted
between each tomato plant. FIRE.
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 $3.50 per six-baskct crate.
Tomatoes on this half acre netted
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 we're
planted in purple top globe ttlrnip-
seed. Seventy-five dollars worth of
turnips were sold in the local mar
kets from this planting. After the
turnips were removed all the miss

CLAIMS OF ITALIANS
RESULTS OF AWARDS MADE BY
 VENEZUELAN COMMISSION.
Completion of the Work of the Mixed Boardss--Clainhs of the Corvaia Heirs for S3.o00.O00 Out
 of Order.

Washington, July 31.--Jackson H. Ralston of this city has just signed his final award as the umpire of the Ital- ian Venezuelan commission and this completes the labors of all the recent Venezuelan mixed commissions. About three hundred and sixty claims asgregating s6,000.oo0 were filed in the more Italian claimants than of any other nationality. end the aggregate awards were about $600,000. The largest claim presented was that of the Corvaia heirs for over three million dollars. The original claimant was born in Sicily but passed Q large part of his life in yaneznals. acting abroad at different places asi; various capacities fnr that country. The um- pire held that accofdsns. to Ls.e LAW .i his native land he had forfeited his original citizenship by his diplomatic employment and his heirs therefore could not be heard before the Italian commission.
 Another case of importance was that of the Martini Company. which held concession for coal mines and the railroad from Guanta to Barcelona The company claimed one million eight hundred thousand dollars because of interference with business by the paper blockade and close of the port of Guam ta.
 The umpire held that under the terms of the concession the port should have remained open and that the paper l blockade or blockade by proclamation only was illegal and that Venezuela was liable for damages, directly re- sultant threfrom, granting the compa- ny $95.000.
 Several cases of expulsion from Ven eZuela came before the commission The umpire recognized the govern ments right of expulsion. but found in particular instances that it had been exercised in disregard of the law and granted damages. For the unlawful killing of two Italians by or in the presence and with the sanction of Gov $10.000 were given.
 The question most debated before the commission was as to the respon- sibility of Venezuela for the acts of unsuccessful revolutionists. The um- pire. following many precedents, held in number of cases that such respon. sibility did not exist.
 In several cases of contract where the concession had provided that all questions of interpretation and execu- tion should be referred to the Vene- zuelan courts for settlement and never should be made a subject of claim, the umpire held that an individual claim ant could not contract away the right of his government automatically to present a claim and that the commis- sion had Jurisdiction.
 In several cases Venezuela had col lected a second time taxes once paid to q defacto revolutionary government, but by the umpire's opinions such sec- ond payment was held illegal and re- fund was ordered.
