BED or An ARM
Of GREAT SEA
Geological Experts Find that
Washington Was in Part
Of Onondaga Sea.

Where washington stands was once n
great sea, according to the geological
experts OF Uncle Sam. The site OF the
Capitol was once the bed OF an arm
Of the ocean. The United States Geo.
logical survey has been looking into
the past history Of that great region
stretching from New York through
Pennsylvania, virginia, and Maryland
to Tennessee, and west Of the Blue
Ridge mountains. 1t finds that this
vast territory was in the long ages ago
covered by great sea of warm water.
which has been NAMED the Onandaga
Sea. because the fossils that have re-
vealed Il kere first definitely studied
and Interpreted in onondaga county,
New York.
The study of this interesting ancient
body OF water was made for the survey
by e. M. Kindle. Just to show that the
Onondaga Sea was long on ancestery,
1t is mentioned that It dates back prob
ably more than 100 times as far as the
great ice age. II lis shown by Mr..
Kindle that the peculiar forms inhabit-
ing the sea in question stretched from
New York southwark for hundreds OF
miles. The eastern shore line was not
far west Of where the Blue Ridge now
stands. From southwestern Virginia
the shore line appears to have trended
westward not far from the kentucky
Tennessee line as far as the present val
ley Of the Tennessee river, and at some
point was connected with the great IN
land sea that covered the present MIS-
sissippi valley. ~

will save the entire crop for seed
and distribute the variety to the
Delaware growers.
Now as to the meat Of the ker-
mel. If we were asked what va
riety of tomatoes would we grow
for canning. we would say, first,
Matchless; second. Hummer, with
mental reservations as to Shall
cross. We believe that these are
better varieties than Stone, varie:
ties that have all the good points
of Stone and are much better per-
formers in the field. Lastly, we
would before closing again urge
the home saving of the SEED, and a
thorough trial Of crossed seed.

However. too much Importance
must not be given to the above fio-
ures, as relative time of ripening
and the percentage of the crop
ripe at first frost will seriously af-
tect the average weight Of fruit.
The time Of the first pick each year
has not varied materially for the
above varieties, but there has been
differences in dates of maximum
picks and the amount of green
fruit left upon the vines at frost.
The following will give dates Of
maximum pick for the leading va
rieties in 1910:
Matchless. Sept. y.
Paragon. Sept. II.
Brandywine, Sept. y.
Success, Sept. y.
Greater Baltimore, Sept. u.
Stone, Sept. is.
taVOrite. Sept. Is.
Magnificent. Sept. Is.
New Century, Sept. 26.
Coreless, Sept. 26.
Hummer, Sept. Is and Sept. 26.
The Hummer seemed to hold it's
period Of maximum reproduction
over a longer period than the other
varieties.
Greater Baltimore. Success and
New Century fell away very rapid
ly in yield Immediately following
the date Of maximum production.
The Gamers demand a red to-
mato, firm. smooth and with
small or tender core. The follow
ing varieties fulfill these require
ments very well: Matchless, Hum
mer. Favorite. Brandywine and
Coreless.
These with large or stringy
cores are Stone and Shallcr0ss.
Those with hard or woody cores
are Great BIB. Greater Baltimore.
Success and Paragon.
Magnificent has n very small
core but inclined to be woody.
We find that Success and Great
cr Baltimore resemble each other
very closely, in fact some seeds
men call them the same, but we are
inclined to call them distinct va
rieties with Success the better one
of the two.
As an all round canning variety
we are inclined to give the prize to
Matchless. although the large yield
and all round qualities Of the
Hummer make it a close second in
the race. The Hummer runs a
little smaller than the Matchless,
but we find it less variable through
the season and inclined to hold its
size better toward the end of the
season. We believe that it will
cost slightly more to harvest Hum
mer than Matchless.
CoreIess cracks badly around
the stem and an early frost will
leave too large Il percentage OF
green fruit upon the vines.
Brandywine is a very desirable
variety, resembling Stone very
although our notes give 1t
credit with having a smaller and
less stringv core than Stone.

RESTING.

Her suffering ended at midday,
Yet lived she at it's dawn;
Had breathed the long, long night
away,
And bore it as with a song.
But when the sun in it's state,
Heated the perfect skies,
She sped through Glory's golden gate
And walked in paradise
Yet with us she dwelleth not,
Her present home is peace;
No trouble is now her lot,
So then, let our longings cease.
A blessing she was: with all her
smiles,
Round her our hearts entwine and
cling;
She, ever ready, for things worth
while
Has patiently folded her wings.
She was girl; one in whom
The springtime of her childish
years
Has never lost it's sweet perfume,
For her, shed not the bitter tears.
