In choosing tomato plants for grow.
ing prize tomatoes, do not select tree
tomatoes, as they are not prolific, but
pick out some good. smooth. meaty
variety. Set the plants on the south

from It, and train same to stake as It
grows, tying with binder twine or
cloth strings, which are preferable.
Many times when the vines are very
rank two branches will start to grow
from the top, but clip one off, allow
ing only one to grow to a height Of
five feet, then clip the tops and keep
them clipped, which will hasten the
ripening, and convert all the strength
Of the vine into fruit.
When the plants are eight or ten
inches high, little runners or shoots
will appear In the forks. Here, writes
G. p. Bowsley in Farm and Home, is
where the whole secret lies. These

GOOD SPRAYER NEEDED
Suitable Machinery Is Essential
to Proper Work.
Owing to Limited Time to Make Ap-
piieatlon. II 10 Necessary to
Take Advantage Of Every
Convenience at Hand.
tBy F. W. FAURor.)

As timeliness is the first essential
OF successful spraying SO is suitable
machinery the first essential OF good
work. In the selection of a spraying
outfit there are several points that
should be considered. The type suit
able to the requirements of the or.
chard in which 1t is to be used; wheth.
er hand pump is sufficient or wheth-
er power outfit is required: the &C.
cessorfes. tanks. ETC., are all impor.
tant details In the makeup of q com.
plete outfit.
There are some dozen or fifteen re.
liable concerns which manufacture
spray machines. Each year nearly
every one of these establishments
adds some improvement which tends
to facilitate and tighten the work Of
spraying. Only the very best should
be selected. Owing to the very limited
time for making some of the most
important applications, 1t is necessary
to take advantage of every possible
convenience for facilitating the work.
Wagon tanks Of two hundred gal
five to six feet long. have round
bottom and fiat top. When made Of
cypress they retail at from fifteen to
twenty dollars. Cocoanut-oil barrels
or wine casks also make good tanks
for homemade outfits. For power
outfits two-hundred-gallon tanks are
the most convenient size. Larger
tanks are frequently used but are like.
ly to cause delay from overload.
The agitator is one Of the important
essentials of every outfit, whether op-
Grated by hand or power. Barrel
pumps usually have an agitator at.
tached but with tank pump and power
outfits the agitator must be consid-
cred in connection with the tank. The
agitators furnished with power outAts
are usually one of two types. of which
the propeller type is by all odds the
more desirable. 1t consists OF an iron
shaft extending lengthwise OF the
tank, on which are three or four, pre-.
ferably, four, propellerlike paddles. It

New Yotk.-A common estimate Of
the wars length is three years. In
the first six months of the conflict
the United States sold about $400,.
100000 in war supplies, not taking
into consideration foodstuffs designed
for civilian populations. BY August 1
our trade will reach $1,000, ,000. 900; and
unless something occurs to check this
phenomenal business $4,000. .000, 900

There is no penalty for misbilling

pecially through Pacific ports to Rus
sia by way of vladivostok.
In the most authoritative circles It
IL estimated that the principal items
in the four millions OF dollars worth
ordered here in the first six months
were: Motor cars. $25.000.0O0: arms.
explosives and the like, $1o5, ZOO, 900;
iron and steel, $65.o0O.OO0; uniforms,

the arms and ammunition factories of
the United States. while scores OF
concerns are enlarging their plants
and running three shifts q day to full
fill their foreign contracts.
Many Of these companies do not
know they are turning out goods for
a foreign power. They may surmise
1t. but they do not care. They dealt
only through broker or agent and
with great secrecy.
Goods are sold for delivery here,
and shipment is at the buyers risk.
The buyer enforces secrecy. because
the goods are contraband. The man
ufacturers surround their plants with
high fences and troops of armed
guards in order not only to cooper.
ate with the buyers in maintaining
secrecy. but also to prevent meddling
by agents of governments hostile to
the buyers.
The rs flrearm and ammunition
factories in the United States ordI-
narily employ 10000 persons. Now
their forces number $4,000 and are
increasing.
The enormous demand for high ex.
plosives has forced prices to high
levels. Picric acid, used in making
explosives, has risen from rs cents to
$3.50 pound and the entire supply
on hand has been bought up. Those
who still have guncotton on hand
which can be delivered within 30
days are asking 78 cents pound
The usual price is 20 to rs cents. In
February the French government

cotton, offering &C cents. 1t war un.
obtainable, SO contracts were placed
with a number Of mills running over
two years.
More than 10000 automobile trucks
have been shipped to England and
France since August 1, but from the
way new orders are coming in, this
branch Of trade 10 only lust begin
ming. The French war authorities
figure the average life Of an auto
truck Is only seven days.
Thousands Of Buyers.
There are thousands OF buying
agents for the foreign governments
all over the country. but the two
largest blocks Of contracts are COM
ing through Charles Schwab Of the
Bethlehem Steel company and J. Pier.
pont Morgan. head of the great bank
Ing firm.
Schwab has made two visits to Eu.
rope since the war began and has OBJ
tained contracts amounting to more
than $50.000.OOO. His Bethlehem
works are making even 12-inch guns
Tor the allies. but in addition to what
is turned out here he has sublet or.
ders in dozen different cities Nor
gan is now the general purchasing
agent Of the British government and
all orders go through his firm.
Every section of the country where
manufacturing is large feature Of
business is benefiting from war or.
ders, although these orders in many
cases are not large enough to Offset
the depression in domestic trade.
Many orders are from governments
which never before bought In the
American market and American busi.

trade after the war is over. They
argue that much of the work now

take an instance. has previously been
done in Germany. and that the bitter
feeling after the war will preclude
its being done there again
A Philadelphia factory is making
swords for the British army. Such
a contract had never before been re.
ceived in this country. In the past
British swords have been made in
Germany.
In the Pittsburgh district, which
includes Bethlehem, many Germans
who formerly worked for the Krupps
are employed. They are now making
war material for the allies, although
OF course. they do not know this
definitely. The men in the factory
are not informed for whom a particu
lar six-inch shrapnel shell is being
made.
Some odd items are reported. The
French government has paid New
England manufacturers s26O,OO0 fol-
snowshoes. One concern in Phila
delphia is turning out folding saw
with wooden handles for cutting wire
entanglements. When the war started
the armies used steel pliers for this
work. with the result that many men
were shocked to death by Ligh volt.
age electricity.
Factories turned to New Uses.
All sorts of factories have beer
pressed into commission to make
things useful in war. A company In
Bridgeport, Conn. which usually
makes cemetery monuments oi
bronze, is now turning out forglngs
for an auto truck concern which has
large order from the allied coun.
tries. Bridgeport, by the way, IL en-.
joying huge prosperity because most
of its industrial concerns are working
on war orders.
All through Massachusetts and
Connecticut war orders are helping tc
overcome the depression Of the frs;
few months Of the war. The Fore
River Shipbuilding company is very
busy. It is generally reported IT. is
making ten submarines for the Brit
ish navy, these to be delivered at the
end of the war. In addition, 1t is
making about rs other submarines.
Demand for many particular ar.
tieles has been SO great that the al.
lied governments have signed con.
tracts at prices most attractive for
the manufacturers. In addition, 1t Is
pretty we'll established that middle.
men, brokers and agents ere gather.
ing in millions in commissions, some

that other nations are being fleeced.
