Daily Times, March 80.
A packed house greeted Rev. Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, the leader of the Dowieites of Zion
City, at the Moline theatre last night The
successor Of the late John Alexander Dowie
arrived in Moline at an early hour Sunday
morning in his private car, accompanied by his
celebrated white-robed chorus
Voliva arrived at an opportune time to favor
the local option faction His condemnation of
the saloon was forceful and far-reaching. 81

through the standard as we'll as all kinds Of
dictionaries also many other books. In all
the years I have not been able to find one good
word that could be applied to the saloon" said
the Zion leader. "I depend on the women to
clean things up and vote the saloon back to
hell where it originated"
The successor of the famous Dowie, also con-
demned smoking and chewing of tobacco, saying
that it was as bad as the alcohol habit. His
words against the cigarette were especially de-
nouncing.
Voliva took rap at the ministers who are
not called of God "If man is not called of
God to preach the Gospel he is fool to do so"

Suggestions for Those Interested
in Raising Tomatoes.

The ideal soil for the production of tomatoes
for canning purposes is sandy loan plentifuly
supplied with humus ,underlan with we'll drained
clay subsoi1. The tomato needs large quantity
of readily available plant food during the fore
part of the growing season, and soil condition
that will keep the plant we'll supplied with mos-
ture especially during the later part of the season.
The average amount of fertilizer used to the
acre in Delaware is $50 pounds of 2-8-5 mix
ture.
The foundation of the tomato crop is good,
stocky, well grown plant. Plants in the seed
bed should be thinned to produce stocky plant
Plants that start slowly may be aided with
solution of Nitrate Of Soda using about a
thimbleful of Nitrate of Soda to two gallons of
water; and stockier plants may be obtained by
transplanting once before setting in the field.
Spray the plants in the seed bed with Bordeaux
mixture once every ten days The seed bed
should be thoroughly wet before plants are
pulled.
The success of the tomato crop depends large
ly upon the way the plants behave the first
three weeks in the field. One of the essential
factors in securing maximum yield per acre
is to have perfect stand with every plant in its
place To secure this with a minimum amount
of expense, it is necessary that the plants be
given care in TRANSFORMING that they have every
opportunity for growing. Never allow the plants
to become dry.
Bulletin No. 101 issued by the Delaware
Agricultural Experimental Station, Newark, Della
ware, may be had by asking for ii, and contains
valuable information on tomato growing.
Respectfully,
