CANNERY TOMATOES.
Strong, Well Filtered Plants Set In
the Field In Summer.


BY EDWARD b. VOORHEES,
For the tomato crop for canEeries
the matter of plants is very impor.
tant one. Here, as I'm other cases,
good plants are a necessary factor for
success. A good crop from poor plants
can result only when all other condi-
tons are extremely favorable. IL the
work Of plant growing is properly car.
ried out good, strong, we'll fibered
plants should be ready for the field
from the middle to the latter part OF
June-the time when they are usually
set In New Jersey or Maryland. IL
other states the planting of the seed
would naturally be little earlier, thus
making the setting in the field proper
tionately earlier.
Soil and Plant Food.
The tomato as Il field crop is adapted
to a wide variety of soils, though a
medium clay loan Is probably the best.
In fact, any soil well adapted to pota-
toes will grow the tomato to good adj
vantage. In manicurlng and fertilizlng
the character of the crop and the sea-
son of It's growth should be remem-
bered; hence recommendations made
for the early crop do not apply In all
cases except perhaps on the poorer
classes of soils. In the first place, the
plants are not put In the soil until
summer, when the conditions are most
favorable for the rapid change of or
ganic forms of nitrogen into nitrates,
and thus if the soil has been MANFRED
or is naturally rich in vegetable matter
the additional application of nitrogen
In Immediately available forms is not
so important. In the second place the
obiect &c the growth is not ee-iy ma
turity, but the largest yield of mature
fruit; hence it is more desirable to
grow a larger plant than in the case of
the earlier tomatoes.
An All Round Fertilizer Formula.
On a good soil which would without
manure produce five to six tons there
should be added a sufficient excess of
the constituents to provide for maxi
mum production, and the materials
should be relatively richer in nitrogen
and potash than in phosphoric acid. A
mixture Of nitrate of soda, 400 pounds;
bone tankage, 700 pounds; acid phos-
phate, 400 pounds; murlate of potash,
300 pounds, would contain approx
mately % pounds of nitrogen, 14A
pounds of phosphoric acid as pounds
of which would be soluble and avail
able and 250 pounds of potash in each
ton. a dressing containing the amounts.
kinds and proportions of plant food
here indicated would be regarded as
very desirable, since one-half of the
nitrogen is in the form of nitrate,
which would contribute to the imme-
date growth of the plant. The amount
of soluble and available phosphoric
acid is sufficient to satisfy the needs
of the crop throughout its entire
growth, and such an abundance of pot
ash is present as to insure the matur-
ity Of both plant and fruit. Formulas
of this character have been used with
good success.

FOREST SERVICE.
Wanting on Rough Lands and over
Coal Deposits.

A variety of causes are awakening
an interest in forest planting on lands
owned primarily for some other pur-
pose than the use of timber, but capa-
bic of yielding an added revenue from
crops Of trees. In Pennsylvania espe-
cially large forest plantations are actu-
ally under way. There are enormous
areas i'm Pennsylvania from which the
original timber has been cut and which
are too rough for profitable farming
In the coal regions much Of the land
everything the coal is useless for farm
Ing at any time. Both these classes of
land may be planted to trees with adj
vantage and the timber used in the
mines, the old fields on which farming
has been attempted being particularly
desirable for planting.
Water sheds owned to prevent fur
.ther denudation and the contamination
of streams and reservoirs rarely yield
direct returns TO water companies, but
If properly planted their water conserv-
ing power would be increased, and at
the same time future revenue would
be In prospect
The possibilities of forest planting
have been realized by several large
companies which have applied TO the
forest service for assistance.
Detailed information and application
blanks for assistance Of this kind can
be secured by writing to the forester,

ture, Washington.

FLORENCE'S GALA WEEK.
A Week of Fun and Amusement For
Those Who Attend.

A representative Of the Daily Item
returned form our hustling sister city
of Florence on Monday. While
over there he heard nothing but talk
about the great gala week which will
begin Monday, September 8, next, and
contiue for six days.
There will be military parades and
prize drills, automobile races, hose reel
contests, horse and cattle shows, driv-
ing contests, a carnival company will
also be there with number of new
and first class attractions, there will be
floral parade and other open air
events, absolutely free, except the
tent attractions of the canival COM
pany, which it is expected will be on
hand. Florence has heretofore not
spread herself along the gala week
attractions, and has contented herself
with sending her fremen; her SOL
diers and her citizens to Sumter, Dar-
lington, Columbia, Orangeburg and
Charleston and other places to par
ticipate in events Of this kind and
to help make the gala week attract
ions of various other towns successes.
But now the good natured, hospitable

show that Florence can do, Ard it
is the duty Of Sumter people who have
