OF THE TOMATO WIT.

First. Keeping the disease QUE, o.
the iield. The omato wilt is intro
ducel Into the fields by pieces Of old
diseased plants, by spores Of the fun
gus. by tlansplan.ing diseased plan t
from the cold frames, and. possibly
by planting seed with the disease Il
them. As the plants die from THIS
disease they should be pulled up end
piled aAd then bIr.cl as soon as
they are dry enough. This will pre-
vent the spread of mr. G.. ease by The
spores and also fr om J., eloping from:
the old diseased materia! in the soii
tae coming year.
Particular care should be taken,
also 10 keep the disease out Of the
cold fromes or seed beds. Soil for
these should be obtained frcm only
fields that have never grown toma-
toes, and It is questionable whether
the same soil should be used for
more than one year. While il has
not been proved that the disease is
carried on the seed, it is possible
that it can be carried in this manner,
and it would probably be we'll to dis
infect seed before planting. Tomato
seed will stand short exposures to
strong disinfectants without injuring
their germinative power.
Second. Rotation of crops. To-
matoes should not be grown on the
same ground for more than one year
In three. In old tomato sections,
truckers have found that this is o
rule that must be followed if toma-
fnoc opo fn hn 0p1ur, C,,noaccf,,1I5y
II the tomato wilt disease is in the
ground 1t will increase in severity
very rapidly from year to year if to-
matoes are kept on the ground.
Third. Growing of resistant va.
rieties. Perhaps the most satisfac-
tory way of controlling this disease
is by planting varieties or strains of
tomatoes that will not become infect
ed. Tomato plants do not all show
the same susceptibility to this dis
ease. In q badly infected field often
plants will be seen which are per-
fectly healthy and will stand up
the season after most CT the
other plants are dead. If seed is
saved only from plants that are not
with the wilt disease when
they are grown on wilt infected soil.
= wilt resistant strain will
be procured. The seed from each
plant should be kept separately anf
planted separately, and during the
following years, seed should be saved
only from those plots that show some

Bennington Testimony Remains Un-

Tine is the best test of truth.
Here is a Bennington story that has
stood the test of time. 1t is story
with a point which will come straight
home to many of us.
r. j. Taylor, Bennington, says:
For several years, | had backache,
directly over my kidneys. 1t came
and went at regular intervals at first,
but for the last two or three years,
it annoyed me almost constantly.
Then | had headaches and dizziness
and a cold always made me worse. |
was compelled to pass the kidney Sc
cretions too often. ! was advised to
try Doan's Kidney Pills and | procur-
ed them at Coles Drug Store. They
did me a great deal of goodssoon af-
ter | commenced taking them. The
pain in my back left and the other
troubles were removed"
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr.
Taylor said Time has not altered
my high regard for Doan's Kidney
Pills and | willingly endorse them
again. For some years have been
free from kidney trouble"

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

mended. Foster-Milburn Co, Props.
