Winter Tomatoes.

Successful tomato culture under
glass depends as much upon the man
in charge as upon conditions. Eter-
nal vigilance and the exercise of good
judgment on the part of the grower
are more essential than strict adher-
ence to set rules. The crop is one
which demands constant care and in
telligent management, but under suit
able conditions the returns are very
satisfactory, and the product meets
a ready demand at good prices.
The most important conditions for
forcing tomatoes are: A warm, light
house having two-thirds' span
facing the south being preferable
strong bottom heat, rich soil, careful
training, uniform temperature, care
in watering and pollinating, and, as
before suggested, good Judgment and
constant watchfulness on the part of
the grower. Bottom heat is not abb
solutely essential to success, but the
crop natures more quickly If given
this condition.
To make the best use of the house
& two crops should be grown during the
season. This will bring each crop
on at a season when the expense of
heating during part of the time will
be slight. Plants for the first crop
should be started as early as the first
of August. If two or more houses
are available, second sowing should
be made in about three weeks, to
give succession. For the second
crop seed should be sown during the
latter part of October.
The plants are treated in every
way as for outdoor culture till han
died the last time. For fruiting some
prefer benches, with about six inches
of soil; but, in the writer's expert
enee, the best results have been OBJ
tanned from the use OF boxes eighteen
inches square and twelve inches deep.
In the bottom Of the boxes is placed
a layer of charcoal, broken pots, or
"clinkers" from the furnace, after
which soil, consisting Of three parts
good garden loan and one part we'll
rooted stable manure, is filled in to
within two or three inches of the
top. Each box will hold four plants
and the check caused by the partial
confinement of the roots seems to be
of value in fastening maturity. If
the solid bed is used instead Of the
boxes, the plants are set about six
teen inches apart each way, thus oc-
cupying little more than one and
half square feet Of floor space for each
plant.
Best returns usually follow where
the plants are trainedto single stem.
Flax cords, about the size of wool
Irvine, are fastened to the corners Of
the boxes or to wires placed parallel
to each row, for that purpose, and at
tached above to wires running length

Dry Farming.

In the afternoon most interesting
address was given on Dry Farming by
Edward L. Norris, governor of Mon
tana and president Of the Dry Farm
ing Congress. Although apparently
holding few affinities with Irrigation
projects. dry farming has a distinct
place in conservation projects and IS
rapidly becoming an accepted factor
in agricultural operations. At the pres
ent time nearly two million acres are
nnder cultivation by dry farming sys-
TENS in regions where the rainfall does
not exceed twenty inches. As the area
reclamabie by irrigation is restricted
by the available supply Of water, the
ultimate possible reclamation Of arid
lands must be completed by dry farm
ing operations after the water supply
has been extended to It's last beneficial
use. For this reason these two appar-
emily unrelated agricultural operations
