OF, c CULTIVATION
When Work In Garden 10 TO Be Done
BY Horse Rows Should Be Long
'E.ssG5. and Marrow. 81 St:sz&

* An important consideration in plan
ming the garden is the kind OF cultiva.
tion to be- given. Horse cultivation
is recommend whenever possible,
and where the work is to be done
mainly by means of horse tools the
garden should be long and narrow
with the rows running the long way.
The garden should have no paths
across the rows, but turning spaces
should be- left at the ends. For hand
cultivation the rows can be- much
closer together, and may run across
the garden. In the suggested plan,
where the distance between the rows
Is less than two feet, hand cultiva-
ton with q wheel hoe is contem-
plated. II q hand cultivator or. wheel
hoe IS not available, the rows should
be at least two feet apart to give
sufficient space for the horse cultiva-
tor. Straight lines should be fol-
lowed. no matter what method Of cul-
true is used. $ssf. 5sit t@:& .. .s: IS.

TO INCREASE TOMATO YIELD
Maine Station Reports Gain Of so Per
Cent by Practice-Others Re.
port Fruit Rotted. Fl
lBy s. M. CLINTON.l

U .
We have never been able to increase
the yield of tomatoes or improve the
quality by trimming. although some
experimenters, among. them the Maine
station. assert that trimming is an i'm
provement. ~. ,,--..-}
The Maine station reports that the
increase in the yield due to trimming
reached as high as SO per cent and
the gain in weight was very marked.
The plants were started in the field
June I, headed back July "a, August
8 and September s. This work should
be done earlier in the milder climates,
At each trimming the leading
branches were shortened about six
inches and most of the side shoots be-
low the first clusters were removed. S..
The other clusters were shortened
and by training the vines on wires to
run from five to ten feet high, the sun
light was admitted to all parts of the
plants. 5,e... r. T.
In our own experiments we have
found that when the vines were freely
trimmed the fruit rotted to a con.
siderable extent and did not ripen as
quickly nor as evenly as when the
vines were untrimmed in the same
garden. In fact, three years ago we
trimmed every other hill, training
them on stakes with cross pieces, and
allowed the other vines to 60 IN
trimmed, held in place only by single
frame. inclosing the plants on all sides.
about eighteen inches high.
That year we found the ripest and
best fruit on the untrimmed vines,
while that on the trimmed vines
ripened unevenly and showed a de.
cided tendency to rot.
That was dry season with us. and
it may be that the trimmed vines re-
ceived too much hot sun. Another
thing noticeable was that the flavor
Of the tomatoes on the untrimmed
vines was better and the fruit frme1
than that on the trimmed vines.
