TOMATO CULTURE.

The tomato is an American vegeta-
bic which has only been in general
use a little over half century. 1t
is now one of the most important
garden products. 1t is not as widely
grown in Western Washington as
some other garden crops for the rea-
son that many growers are unable to
ripen the fruit.
Seeding.-One ounce of seed should
produce about 1900 plants. The
plants may be started in hot-bed,
greenhouse, or on a shallow box or
pan, placed in a sunny window Of a
room where the temperature is not
less than 60 degrees. March 1st to
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-02-01
MINT CULTURE A POSSIBILITY.

Several varieties of mint appear in
abundance along many Of the streams
and lowlands of Western Washington.
This suggests posi- bility that the
growing of such a crop might be
profitable on otherwise unused lands.
The following article has recently
appeared in the Pacific Homestead:
cat present Michigan is more extern
sively interested in mint growing
than all the rest of the country COM
bined The other mint-growing Sec
lions are northern Indiana and
Wayne county, New York. Several
Wisconsin farmers have also under
taken the growing of mint for oil. In
1906 there we're probably 5000 acres of
peppermint grown in the United
States, more than 80 per cent Of
which was in a radius of 80 miles of
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-02-01

surface soil in which the seeds are
planted should be passed through a
fine sieve so that no hard Jumps will
come in contact with the seed. Wat
ering should be often enough to
keep the soil moist but not soaked.
Watering in hot-bed should be done
in the morning so that the plants are
not chilled over night. The frame of
the hot bed should be raised each day
long enough to give the growing
plants fresh air.
Shifting seedlings. When the
plants are two inches in height they
may be transplanted to flats or boxes
containing about three inches OF soil
and later set in the field about the
middle of May. For home use or fol-
small plantations it is best to trans
plant into two or two and half inch
pots. The plants can later be set in
the field with very little loss.
Soil and preparation. Most any
fairly rich garden loan will grow
good tomatoes. If extremely rich
the fruits are often slow in forming.
Before planting, the soil should be
plowed deep and worked down fine.
Transplanting. 1T is good practice
to set the plants into the garden OF
field on a cloudy day or late in the
afternoon SO that they may have all
night to recuperate before they are
exposed to the hot sun. A tro wei or
dibble is a good transplanting tool
When set directly into the field
from flats the plants sometimes need
a s9ade for a few days after trans
planting, but when shifted into the
field from pots they continue their
growth without a setback.
For best results in Western Wash
ington the plants should be trained
to stakes or trellis. In this manner
they may set two feet apart in rows
with rows three feet apart.
Cultivation. The surface of the
soil should be kept free from weeds,
and moisture should be held within
easy reach of the plants. This Car
be accomplished by cultivating to 6
depth of two inches every week or ter
days during the summer months.
Training. When three or four vel
developed shoots or stalks have form
ed on each plant they can be tied to
a stake with stout strings. AS Other
shoots form they are removed. When
three or four flower clusters have
developed on each shoot the tips OF
the shoots are cut off and no more
flowers allowed to develop.

Jewel and Stone have proved goo(

Blight. Some seasons much loss
has been caused by a disease known
as Western tomato blight. Professor
Humphrey, formerly of the expert
ment station at Pullman, carried on
experiments in com batting this disease
and found the trouble due to a fun
gus living in the soil. He recon.
mended planting seeds directly into
the field. three or four in each hill,
and covering individual hills with q
box having a glass cover. Under this
forcing box the plants grow until

1t Pays
To FertiIize

Here is the experience Of f. Fl.
Gilbert, of North Yamika:
From one acre not fertil-
lied ....... $zbO.OV
From one acre fertilized... $4,000
Increase .............. $500
Cost of fertilizer ..........$ 17.17
Net profit ............$ 72.OO
If complete fertilizer gives the
above results in the rich soil OF
the Yakima Valley, what will be
the results in other soils?
1t is therefore not question OF
whether you can afford, but Wheth-
er you can afford not to fertilize.
We sell every kind of fertilizer
animal, chemical and complete;
but strongly advise the use of
Lilly's complete fertilizers because
they are scientifically correct in
proportion, thoroughly ground to-
gether and mixed by machinery.
Tt is the use of such complete
fertilizers that results in increased
crop production, better texture,
larger size. finer quality, richer
color and longer keeping quality
in grains, fruits and vegetables.
