While tomatoes need good land,
they will make a paying crop on
much poorer soil than will Irish po-
tatoes. They will be found to be
more responsive to fertilizers and

fertilizer for tomatoes is one analyz-

Spraying With Lime-Sulphur.
We have a small orchard Of
about 600 apple and peach trees
which are only three years old.
The peach trees bore few last
summer. Wish you would please

II the trees have San Jose scale on

Then add water to make 60 gallons,
and spray while it is fresh and some

You can take fresh lime and add
the sulphur and slake them together
