NEW METHOD OF
TOMATO CULTURE
Entire Strength of Plant Gen.
tered in Few Fruit Clusters
by Good Pruning
OBy NJ. n. EDGERTO$D

The new method Of tomato culture
consists in combining the growth of
the plants to single stalk or vine,
these being trained to stakes.
Pruning should begin as soon as
branches begin to appear, growth be
ing confined to the main stalk.
In this way. instead of dissipating a
large share of it's strength in an eff
fort toward vine growth, the entire
strength of the plant is conferred in a
few fruit clusters.
Under ordinary culture, that Is,
where plants are allowed to branch
at will. the first cluster of blossoms

Cutting Lawns Frequently

No lawn should be left to grow so
long that the grass needs a raking
after cutting. At this season lawns
in high state of fertility will need
cutting every five or seven days Az
the weather becomes warmer and
dryer the grass will grow more slow
ly, and as a consequence moving
should take place less frequently.

On the Free List

AFTER a lot Of talk and counter
moves, the Committee Of Finance of
the United States Senate has decided
to place meats on the free list. In
other words, the mainstay of life, the
highest cost of living, is to be placed
on the free list where it belongs. If
there is any one complaint in this
nation it is the high cost OF living.
In order to reduce this burden on
the many, the tariff should be knock
ed off all necessities, nc matter who
is injured. This is what Nevada sent
two Senators TO Washington for,
and if they don't stand on this line
someone else will take their places.
The meat trust has admitted that
the clearing off of the tariff on meats
will reduce the price. This is exact
ly what the people want: cheaper
meat and cheaper cereals. The peo-
pie don't care how big a tax is placed
on diamonds. on drugs, on liquors,
and other luxuries. but the one ques-
ton is to reduce the price OF living.
The undeniable fact exists that d
three-year-old steer is worth 500 III
Nevada to-day. The man who raises
this animal gets this price. Then the
other half-dozen men get a whack at
it before the game is ended, and the
people pay for all the fun. Ask your
local butcher what he is paying for
beef and mutton and pork. You will
find that they cost as much as I'M
ported canned goods on which all
kinds of duties are paid.
The beef trust has cinched the peo-
pie for a score of years and the prices
are soaring monthly. If the Argen-
tine and other sections can offer re-
lief to nearly one hundred million
people, let down the bars and see
what it will do. No concern needs
protection when the above prices are
facts and the range men grow rich at
the expense OF the people.
