TOMATOES
Tomatoes For the Cannery..
GUY elliott MITCHELL.

Tomatoes For the Cannery..
Raising tomatoes for the canneries
has grown to be quite an industry in
q number Of States. Maryland leads
the list with about two million cases
per annum; Indiana, with her million
cases, second; followed. in turn, by
New Jersey. California. Delaware and
Ohio. The canneries are permanent
Institutions. the demand is increasing
and there is no reason why the grow
ing of tomatoes will not continue 10 be
q profitable business with many.
Growing tomatoes for n cannery diff
fers from raising them for the market.
In the former case. first of all, largo
yield is sought. Early maturity IS Of
less Importance since the grower con-
tracts TO sell the whole crop 1T fixed
price. II is said that good corn land
Is rich enough for tomatoes although
medium clay loan is preferred by
many.
Splendid results follow fall or winter
blowing. At any rate land should be-
plowed as early in the spring as pos
sible. Plow deep and follow with
earth mulching. that is, maintain a .
thin layer of fine earth on the surface .

until the stalk has grown so heavy as
TO fall upon the ground, then cease.
For heavy yields il is essential that
strong land or heavy fertilization be
used. While IL is true that on many
OF the soils In the Middle States a re-
munerative crop may be produced with
little fertilization. II is also true thal
on nearly all OF these soils a liberal
use OF fertilizers will be profitable.
The tomato plant is a gross feeder,
and especially requires an abundant
supply Of potash. Prof. Voorhees,. of
New Jersey, who is authority on such
subjects, estimates that ten tons Of
fruit, with the accompanying vines,
would contain fifty-seven pounLs OF
nitrogen, sixteen pounds of phosphoric
acid, and ninety-four pounds OF potash.
On many Of our clay lands phosphoric
acid Is relatively low, and the applica-
ton OF potash is needle to pre- -uce the
most profitable crops. The nitrogen
supply Is more variable, and can often
be secured by turning under q legumi-
nous crop. On Eastern lands, which
have been devoted to last years toma-
toes, nitrate OF soda can be used with
profit. In the Central States, manu-
facturers Of fertilizers have not offered
goods specially prepared for this vege-
table because OF a lack Of demand, due
largely TO the ignorance of same, and
from lack Of knowledge Of the require
ments Of the soil. But Of late both the
growers and the Gamers are asking for
advice regarding fertilizers to be used
on tomatoes. A mixture that has been
officially recommended contains:
Nitrogen ...... per cent.
Phosphoric acid. per cent.
Potash ........12 per cent.
Using about 800 pounds of this mixture
per acre.
Some experiments OF early tomatoes
seem to indicate that sulphate OF
potash gives them a better quality.
A properly made tobacco fertilizer ia
also suited for this crop, and the
potash in it is derived from sulphate.

Quartermaster Preston said that he
feared there was a lack of interest In the
legion. as the number OF applications for
membership during the last year u In
all had been exceptionally small The
quartermaster reported that when the
year opened the legion was short OF FUNDS

quartermaster reported that the to%-

Capt Thomas j. Sweeney OF the 1904
Republican parade, is one OF those who
has imbibed his sterling Democracy for
Lannon. John Conboy, also on the
ticket, was an officer OF a Republican
marching company. Lannon Is said TO
be responsible for Conboy's recent in
tense interest in straight Democracy.
There Is and old story about musi-
clan who was captured by the enemy,
pleading that he should not be punished
as he did no lighting. Thomas +. Nc
Dun, another one whose name is on the
ticket, might plead the same excuse,
for his participation i'm the Republican
parades OF 1904 as he was drummer;
but Eighth warders say. like the men
OF old that the excuse don't go.
The secretary of the O'Neill Dem
ocratic city committee, Francis l.. Nc

is not presumed he will decline.
Col. Colts organ has tried 10 start
trouble by asserting that the friends or
Charles T. Mulhearn. Esq were dis
contented because Mr.. Troy was TO be
the candidate OF the straight Demo
Gratis for the assembly. Mr.. Mulhearn
is on the Troy ticket and is WORKING
hard for it's success.
There is abundant evidence In ABOUT al
OF the wards that the caucus nights next
Thursday evening Will be hercely con-

Of the regulars that at least seven, ana
probably eight OF the ten wards Will go

cenaries OF Boss Brayton.
In Gaspee hall, In the First ward IL
is said there will be plenty of free beer
and sandwiches for the irreglar element,
which has the active support OF at least
one Republican who does not want MS
