California Tomato Story.

Throughout the winter months,
when fasteners were crouching about
their fires and shivering, and nature
growths were either asleep or frozen
stiff with the cold, f. j. Bates, of
Pasadena, CAL, was in his garden
climbing au l8 foot ladder to gather
his various crops OF tomatoes. He
has three plants which have reached
a length Of 80 feet. The seeds we're
planted in May, and three months
from that time they had climbed to
the top Of 20foot trells. When
they reached this remarkable height
they waved their flower tasselei
heads wonderingly, then turned
around and grew backward until they
have attained length OF 80 feet
They have had no especial cafe or
cultivation, and have had no protec
tion from the weather, yet, in spite
Of every disadvantage, they have
kept on growing and fruitlng in the
most astonishing fashion. Th e
trunks OF these vines are one and a
quarter inches in dia aneter. The 70
liage is thick and luxurlant, and at
all times blossoms, green fruit and
ripe fruit can be seen on the vines.
Ehormous quantities of tomatoes
have been picked from these three
plants. The fruit Is of unusual size
and has an extraordinary fine flavor.

Cotton planting Is not finished In

Hon. o. B Stevens, In an inter
view on April 9th, says: IF we are

that the farmers have not decreased
their purchases Of commercial fertili-
zs's. Reports, however, come to this
Office to the effect that considerable
amount OF the fertilizers shipped out
have not yet been sold, and may be
left on the hands Of the agents. We
are also Informed by letter from many

sons representing every section OF the
State that much greater percentage
OF fertilizers than ever before is being
applied to crops other than cotton,
and that the farmers are standing by
their pledge to reduce the cotton acre.
