(By L. r. JOHNSON.)
For several years we had noticed
that late in the season our local mar
kets ran bare of large and fine toma-
toes, being supplied only with those
that were borne on spring-set plants
and which were running small.
We thought we saw O. chance to
make some money by taking advantage
of this deficiency We reasoned that
if we could set out plants late enough
to ripen their best fruit at this time
that we would find a good demand at
fair prices, regardless of the small
stuff with which the market was glut-
ted.
For this purpose we chose the Pom
derosa, known as the largest OF all
tomatoes, but sort that is not re-
garded with favor by regular truckers.
Several years trial, however, has
convinced US that it is the best variety
for our late crop and superior to the
standard market kinds.
An old strawberry bed of quarter
acre was deeply plowed in June, after
the berries were gone. The soil was
very rich with mulches of stable ma
nure and the plant tops made good
green crop to turn under.
The tomato seeds were sown in the
open ground about June 1, and trans
planted to the rows during the first
week in July.
1t happened to be very dry just at
setting time and the plants had to be
watered as set. Their start was very
slow and they lost in this way good
ten days.
There were several heavy rains
while the plants were about a foot
high and after that drought set in
and not another good rain fell till
after frost in November.
Virtually, then, this crop grew, ma
tured and was gathered without bar
rel Of water supplied by either man Or
nature.
One row along the side was staked
to test this method and four rows were
made up of the Some, Matchless and
Truckers Favorite. | will say that
the four rows were failures compared
to others and would have brought us
little or no profit.
They occupied about one-third Of the
patch and this fact should be consld-
cred in estimating the gross returns
from the quarter acre.

She was suddenly left a widow and
without money. She had been used to
luxuries and was a woman of mature
years, without a grain of business ex-
perience and with no means-so it
seemed-of earning an income. She
had been given good musical train
ing as girl and she had played the
piano as a pastime throughout her
married life. Her friends suggested
that she could earn a little by teach
ing music.
Mrs. Hawkesworth had the good for

had played as an amateur in ensemble

she asked him what chance she had

Cotton Suits For
Southern Men

Special to The Leader Enterprise.
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. Is. Cotton
clothing for Southern men is the
movement now spreading over
the South through the medium
of several business mems organi-
cations, and it is probable that
next spring will be on the streets
thousands of cool and comfort
able cotton suits, while the I'M
comfortable woolens worn for
generations through long estab-
lished custom will be discarded.
At the recent meeting of the
American Cotton Manufacturers
association at Augusta, Ca, an
exhibit of cotton uniforms was
made particularly attractive by
the use of ten living models at.
tired in suits of the Southern
fabric. President T. I. Hickman
ushered before the board of gov
errors and dressed in appropriate
cotton uniforms, a city fireman,
a street car motorman and con-
ductor, railway conductor, engi-
neer and fireman, a policeman, a
porter and a citizen in every day
business suit. The garments
were strikingly attractive and
well made.
That the use of cotton clothing
will not only be economical and
comfortable but will aid enor-
mously in helping the South is
shown convincingly in a recent
issue of Cotton the great trade
journal which is the standard
publication of the cotton fabric
industries.
