FOR GROWERS or TOMATOES.
Stalking Is Necessary if Finish of
Early Fruit Is a Consideration.

Stalking Is Necessary if Finish of
Early Fruit Is a Consideration.
Whether 20 stake or not to stake
tomatoes is a mitch debated subject,
says a correspondent Of Gardening.
Like good many others. tbfs one will
never be settled to the satisfaction OF
all. Where it pays one man to stake
and sucker part or all of his crop ain
other would lose money by doing so.
Many experiments are misleading
because they lack the practical side.
By this we mean the ability to take
the crop to market ard bring home the
money.
We find that for the early trade it is
absolutely necessary to stake our to-
matoes, as we cannot sell the product
from PROSTATE vines 1t lacks the fin
ish which is so necessary for table
fruit. There are other considerations.
During rainy spells the trained vine
will set fruit where the other will not,
and when it comes to picking the crop
we gain all the time AMI labor lost for
stalking.
To us it is more Il matter how to
stake than any other We have had
very good results by transferring the
greenhouse system outdoors. This is
simply setting stakes about ten feet
apart and stretching wire over these
to which the vertical strings are tied
upon which the vines are hOisted We
generally have four plants between the
stakes and use American Irvine flax.
We used to stretch a bottom wire, but
found it very much in the way for box
ing, hence quit it and get along just as
we'll by simply tying the Irvine loosely
to the tomato plants near the ground.

The luxuriance as well as the hardi-

as it is seen growing on hard and beat

railway cuts and river banks would
seem to indicate quite conclusiyely
that it has mission as crop to grow
on the rough and less fertile portions OF
the farm. If used as pasture the cattle
should be allowed to Craze on it while
it is tender, while If it is cut for hay it
