The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1906-07-20

A queer tale in agriculture comes by
way of Chicago. 1t is stated that n
half-bushel of sawdust. dash of
chemical solution and fifteen potatoes
carefully enyeloped with the sawdust
will enable the average householder to
grow bushel of tubers on his house
top or in his cellar within sixty days.
This process has been discovered and
elaborated by w. ID. Darst, of Great
Falls, Mont. Moreover, the grower
will have no potato bugs to contend
with. no turning over of the soil at
certain intervals, and no contest with
worms.
:, he product of Mr. Darst's process
Is termed the "vifieless potato" from
the fact that, grown under these ap-
parently unnatural conditions, there is
no surface vegetation, because Of
which, each potato buried in the saw
dust is enabled to produce at least
twelve normal-sized tubers.
Recently at the Oakland Plaza, IN
the rear of the Oakland Hotel, Mr..
Darst disclosed the methods of grow
Ing potatoes by his system. Operating
on the theory that the presence of sur,
face vegetation was only method OF
securing nOurishment and in reality
Slapped the vitality of the tuber, Mr.
Darst experimental more than six
years and found he could overcome
this seemingly natural course on the
part Of the plant by supplying it arti-
ficially with it's needs.
BY employing sawdust, peat, straw,
or any other earth product that would
permit of the circulation Of mir moist
ure and heat, and by applying solutions
OF various fertilizers, discovered
that q single potato would multiply
itself by attaching to itself from
twelve to sixteen other potatoes OF
approximately the same dimensions
without throwing off any of its energy
above ground.
Packed in loosely arranged bins per-
hitting the free access of air and ar

matter of fact. what are commonly re-
garded as the petals of the dogwood
are no part of the floral structure at
all, but merely four large white leaves,
which, during the winter. served as
protective wrappers 10 the flower buds.
The real towe > are about the size Of
shOe-pegs, OF greenish color and are
punched several together in a small
cluster in the midst of the four white
leaves, and if observed at all by the
average wild flower gatherers, are
mistaken for stamens.
So. too. with the flowers Of the
pretty painted cup which when II
blossoms in May frequently makes
whole meadows rosy with brilliant
color. Plucking one, we may think we
are looking at a pike of gorgeous,
flowers, while the fact
is that the striking effect Is produced
by numerous Redeemed leaves
with the real flowers
which are as plain as Cindere 8
sisters and practically hidden from
sight.
Indeed, so fond is Mother Nature OF
befooling her unobseryant devotees

lomasOes FOR the Cannery..
Raising tomatoes for the canneries
has grown to be quite an industry in
a 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 to be
a profitable business with many.
Growing tomatoes for a cannery diff
fers from raising them for the market.
In the former case, first of all, a largo
yield is sought. Early maturity IS of
less Importance since the grower con-
tracts to sell the whole crop 1T a fixed
price. 1t 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
by shallow cultivation, which will be
OF great value in saving the moisture.
The variety should be such as the
canneries prefer They will generally
provide the plants at nominal price
TO those who grow tomato s for them.
In case 1t is preferred to grow the
plants near where they are to be set.
they should be started in a cold frame
or on the south side of board fence
in a rich warm soil. The plants will
increase to proper size In four or five
weeks and should be set out In the
field In rows about four feet apart, for
ease of cultivation. Start the cultiya-
tion early, but be careful not to bark
the, plants, as that will kill them.
When they begin to branch do not |
cultivate closer than the ends OF Il
branches Continue stirring the soil |

Model Dairy Farm.

The Department of Agriculture has
recently published a bulletin contain
Ing suggestions for constructing a
model dairy barn. 1t has been the
endeavor of the Department to plan
a barn embodying the best ideas in
scientific and sanitary construction
that are consistent with practicability
and cheapness, and it is believed the
result accomplished by the plan pub
llshed will help the dairyman to get

until the stalk has grown so heavy as
TO fall upon the ground, then cease.
For heavy yields 1t Is essential that
strong land or heavy fertilization be
used While 1t is true that on many
Of the soils In the Middle States a re-
munerative crop may be produced with
little fertilization. it is also true thai
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 poun,.s of
nitrogen, sixteen pounds Of phosphoric
acid. and nlnety-four pounds of potash.
On many of our clay lands phosphoric
acid Is relatively low, and the applica-
tion Of potash is needle to pro -uce the
most profitable crops. The nitrogen
supply Is more variable, and can often
be secured by turning under a legumi-
nous crop. On Eastern lands, which
have been devoted to last years toma-
toes, nitrate of soda can be used with
a profit. In the Central States, manu-
facturers Of fertilizers have not offered
goods specially prepared for this vege-
table because of 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 .,...... 4 per cent.
Phosphoric acid. per cent.
Potash ..........12 per cent.
using about 200 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 is
also suited for this crop, and the
potash In 1t Is derived from sulphate.

ment shown is the only satisfactory
one, but the idea Is to present some
important features often overlooked
by the builder and which are vital
to well-planned structure.
The amount of space allowed for
the various purposes named on the
plan is thought to meet the require
ments so far as the square feet OF
floor space is concerned. The ar
rangement of the space can be adapted
to the needs of the particular location.
The design calls for width Of 30
feet 4 inches outside. There are two
main reasons for adopting this width;
