Tomato Rot.

A correspondent finds that his to-
matoes rot badly and are affected by
leaf blight, ana he grows largely for
canning. Wants to know what to 90?
Here where | live the tomato is a
regular field crop and every farmer
plants a field in tomatoes. for in his
county there are over fifty canning
factories. The common practice here
IS to SOW the seed in rows and trans
plant them later to the field. The
factories do not open till August and
there is no effort to make the plants
especially early, though some are now
growing the plants under glass and
forwarding them and getting the fruit
early in July, or at times in late June,
for shipping, and are making it prof
table. 1t is better even for the can
ming houses II the plants are started
early and ~transplanted to other frames
to get strong and to harden them off.
for the factories could start q month
earlier and have a longer season. Our

lucky that he has not the Southern
bacterial blight hat makes tomato
growing so uncertain in some sections.
| have had a plantation Of tomatoes
erow we'll till they were full of fruit
and then collapse in q night. No
spraying Will check this blight, but
the rot and the lea blight can be pre-
vented by timely spraying with Bor-
deaux mixture. Spray first in the
s~eed-bed, and after setting the plants,
spray every ten days till the fruit is
half Grown and you viii have little rot
or blight. cOa ashes somehow seem
to have a special effect on tomatoes.
Not because of any plant food they
contain, for they have little. But I
assume because of the retention Of
moisture. and in some way preventing
rot and blight. Years aso ! had a to-
matc plant come up on an old pile OF
ashes three feet high, and let the
plant grow. and groW it did. and made

Washington. D. c.. Feb Con

ed in the house bill prohibiting the
trading in futures in corn, wheat,
oats, or other farm products,
The bill is modelled on the lines OF
the measure prohibiting deals in cot.
ton futures which passed the house
last June and now is pending in the
senate There is small chance of the
Foster bill being passed by the house,
as the committee on agriculture, to
which it has been referred, is opposed
to its provisions.
The committee decided that the in
EQUITIES of future trading had been
fully established so far as they apply
to the cotton exchange. but had moi
been proved in regard to the grain
transactions on boards of trade.

pint of cold water. add two teaspoon
fuls glycerine. stir we'll and let stand

Anna G.: The condition you de-
scribe is not eczema of the scalp. but
is likely caused through using injuri-
Gus soaps or shampoo mixtures which
have robbed the scalp of the oily
secretion necessary to keep it in a
healthy condition. | am sure YOU can
overcome this if you buy some can
throx and dissolve a teaspoonful in
cup of hot water. This makes
enough for one good shampoo. and al
though its cost is trifling. it stops itchi-
ness and soon corrects the dry. scalv
condition of the scalp. 1t would be
advisable to use the quinzoin hair
tonic mentioned in another paragraph.
as it is splendid tonic in all scalp
and hair troubles.
Maxine: Your thin, straggly. fall
ing hair with dandruff is due to a
starved condition of the hair foliicIes.
and unless soon looked after will be a
serious matter. You can make an ex-
cellent and inexpensive hair tonic at
home il you get an ounce of Qtiinzoin
from the druggist and dissolve ii in
one-half pint alcohol, then add one-half
pint of water. This makes a full pint
of excellent tonic for the hair. and a
few careful treatments of the scalp
with this brings back the silky lustre
to the hair and promotes iuxuriant
growth.
]. V. NJ: You are right in saving
that dull, listiess eyes derract from
womanly beauty. The burning sensa.
ton of which you speak does not call
for eyeglasses. but rather an eye tonic.
II You make up the following simple
and inexpensive eye lotion you will
obtain quick relief: Get an ounce of
crystos from the drug store and dis.
solve in a pint of warm water. One
or two drops of this harmless LIQUID
in each eye will strengthen the eye
muscles and renew the sparkle TO the
eye.

Health and Beauty Queries

Julia NJ: 1t is natural to grow
heavier during the cold weather
months. but your weight is increasing
too rapidly. and would suggest sim
pie treatment which is splendid for
taking off flesh. Get from the drug
gist four ounces of parnotis and dis
solve in " pints hot water. A table
spoonful of this before each meal will
gradually take off the superfluous
weight. This treatment is harmless,
costs little and requires no starving
but you must be sure to get parnotis.
Elsie l.: 1t is ungallant for your
sweetheart to chide you about the
downy growth on your face. but if
you follow these simple directions the
hair can be easily removed: Buy an
ounce of delatone from your druggist,
mix little with enough water to make
a paste. and apply to the hairy sur
face. Let remain for two or three
minutes. then rub off and wash the
surface well. While delatone is a lit
tie expensive. one application usually
does the work.
May: Stop using face powders and
try this liquid powder" for that
soon resume its natural healthy tint:
Dissolve four ounces of spurmax in
one-half pint hot water add two tea
spoonfuls glycerine shake we'll and let
cool. This applied to the skins sur
face after washing clears and cleanses
ii and gives ii pink and white glow
not obtainable with powder and rouge.
Any druggist can supply spurmax. and
ii is inexpensive.
Hermes: Face lotions will not rid
your face of its pimples and liver
spots. This condition is caused
through impurities in the blood finding
their way TO the skins surface What
YOU require is a blood cleanser and
system tonic. and if you will prepare
this inexpensive recipe, the skin will
become Clear and YOU will feel much
better: Get an ounce OF kardene from
your druggist and dissolve in one-half
pint alcohol. adding one-half cup sugar.
then hot water to make a quart Take
tablespoonful before each meal. and
I'm sure you will find it excellent.
