TOMATOES FOR CANNING.
Suggestions for the Extensive Raising
Of the Vegetable.

l planted one ounce of tomato seed
in our garden the middle of last
March In open ground and l think
every seed came up The. young
plants were looking well, but were
killed down by a frost the first of
April. BY the last of the month they
had all come out again and were large
enough to set out, and l planted the
5000 plants which grew from the
ounce of seed, writes a correspondent
of Farm and Home. The weather be-
ing favorable, almost every plant
lived.
The land on which they were plant
ed was very poor and sandy, with a
clay subsoil. l first broke it deep in
March with a one-horse turn pillow,
turning under lot of weeds and
grass. About two weeks before set
ting out the plants | laid out rows
with an eight-inch shovel and put in
commercial fertilizer Analysing two
per cent. nitrogen, ten per cent. phos-
phoric acid and three per cent. potash.
at the rate of 900 pounds per acre.
covered this fertilizer by running over
the rows once with two five-inch
scooters on double stock, which
ridged the soil level with the surface.
The rows were three feet apart and
the plants were set two feet In the
row.
The cultivation was begun as soon
as the plants were firmly settled in
the soil and they were given three
plowings and two hoeings. The last
blowing was given about the time the
tomatoes begun to form freely on the
plants. | made a mistake by not
giving them four plowings instead of
three and by not applying nitrate of
soda at the rate of 200 pounds per
acre at the last blowing By falling to
do this the plants stopped growing
most OF the leaves dropped off and
over half the tomatoes were scalded
by the hot sun, rendering them unfit
for canning. We got over 400 two
pound cans OF tomatoes from this
patch of about one.fourth acre.
