enrolled as club member be-
cause wanted TO know how TO raise
tomatoes and try with other girls TO
win prize.
The tomato starts from a small fiat
seed. When the plant starts the
roots grow downward in the soil
and two little leaves come up with
the seed on the point Of them. Then
the seed drops of and the two tiny
leaves grow much larger before the
stem starts upward and other leaves
set in.
The plants are set in the garden
about the middle Of May. They are
cultivated well till about the last OF
June and then they begin blooming.
- The fruit begins ripening about
he first Of August. The fruit is
plentiful and best from the middle
Of August until the Goth Of Septem-

Make your Farm Your Savings
Bank.

Did IL ever occur to you that the
soil on your farm is the very best
savings bank in which TO deposit
your surplus earnings. Walter
Whyland has more than doubled his
yield Of corn this year over what il
was the excellent crop season 4
year ago on their one time poor
farm IN the Hart settlement.
How did he do it? BY putting
back into the soil as much or more
elements Of fertility than he took of
and by good cultural methods TO
make the fertility he has produc-
tive. He raised II to 70 bushels Of
corn per acre last year. This year
II averages 30 bushels per acre. He
improved the land by sowing COW
peas, SOY beans and rye. All his cul-
tlvated land is in rye and winter
oats now and he is confident Of a
yield of 40 bushels Of corn per acre
next year.
Hand to mouth farming has been
the custom for too long. Don't be
afraid to put something back on the
land. Save every bit Of manure you
can this winter and spread il thin
next spring so as to cover all the
ground possible. Get some more
stock If you have not enough to eat
your crop. Stop selling grain and
hay. Feed It, Sell the stock and
get 20 per cent of the value of your
crop back in manure.
Plow under or hog down most OF
that rye you sOwed this fall.
Plan to SOW several acres of COW
peas or soy beans in the spring. You
will never under the sun succeed at
farming unless you deposit lots OF
manure and legumes back into your
soil bank.
