METHOD OF TOMATO CULTURE
Plants for Fall Crop Should Be Set
Out During First Part Of July
Keep Out All Weeds.

From the list to the 18th of July is
the proper time to set out the plants
for fruiting in September and October.
The Improved Queen, Livingston
Prize and Acme are the three popular
varieties for the retail market or for
home use. The ground should be
deeply plowed, narrowed and rolled
so as to be fine and mellow.
Run out the rows with the one-horse
pillow; run twice In each row. The fur
row should be at least six inches
deep. Put one-half forkful of rotted ma
nure about three feet apart in the row.
Spread one handful of some good bone
fertilizer over the manure, then mix
the two together.
Cover with about two inches of mel
low earth. Make low, fiat hills. just
even with the surface. Set one stout.
stocky plant in each hill; set the plant
deep, up to the first leaf. If the wealth
er is hot and dry, fill the dibble hole
with water. set In the plant and draw
the earth close to the roots.
The next morning cover the plants
with two or three little bushes TO pre-
vent the sun from scorching the leaves
and drying out tho moisture. Leave
the covering on until the plants start
to grow. Water late In the evening
n soil Is dry.
AS soon as plants start growth re-
move the covering, run the cultivator
between the rows, going close to the
plants, then with the hoe draw the
mellow earth close up to the stems.
Give frequent and thorough culture
throughout the season. Keep the soil
loose.
The early and second early plants
should be kept free Of grass and
weeds. Throw a furrow to the plants
before the vines commence to spread
and with the hoe make a good bed OF
mellow earth for the vines to rest on
This bed OF mellow soil will keep the
roots cool and prevent evaporation oil
the moisture In the lower soil which
the vines need for the perfection Of
large, well-ripened fruit. Try this
method of tomato culture.

TRAP FOR
SPARROWS
Is Being Shown By The Invent
or---Catch Animals
Also.

Mr.. SEQ. w. Metcalfe, brother Of
Messrs. T. L. and John ]. Metcalfe
and a former resident Of Hopkins
vile, and DR.. Decatur d. Dennis. o.
Texas, are in the city in the interes
of working up this territory will
their Automatic Animal Fish anC
Bird Trap. The trap is used in catch
ing all kinds of game and was put OF
exhibition in the Metcalfe lot adjoin
ing Hotel Latham, Thursday after
noon late, and since that time nearl,
fifty English sparrows have beer
caught in the trap.
DIR. Dennis invented the trap while
in Corpus Christi, Tex, where ne
went on account of i'll health. He
became interested in the means that
were being employed to rid the coun'
try of such pestilences as rats, Eng
fish sparrows and other small anil
mails and concluded his observations
with the invention of the trap. 1t
was patented in May 8, of this year.
Later DR.. Dennis met Mr.. Metcalfe
in Beaumont, Tex, and he became
interested in the prospects OF the
trap and purchased part interestin
the ownership of it.
They decided later to come to
Christian county to make temporary
headquarters. They expect to or
panize a company for the manufact-
ure of the trap at later date and
may locate the manufacturing plant
here. Since they have been here
they have taken over $50 worth of
orders for the trap.
The trap was originally designed
to catch only smaller animals, but it
is equally as successful for trapping
animals of larger size, such as opos-
sums, coons, minks, foxes and rab-
bits. DR.. Dennis in recent catches
has caught as many as 70 rats in a
single catch. He has caught as many
as six squirrels at a time and says
with favorable conditions he could
catch over a hundred sparrows.
One of the best features of the
trap is that it does not injure the an
finals and is, on account of that, es-
pecially adapted to trapping fur bear
ing animals. The trap is now on ex-
hibition in the Metcalfe lot and DR..
Dennis and Mr.. Metcalfe. who have
their headquarters temporarily at the
Avalon, are glad to show and explain
it to any one who is interested in the
use of traps.
