the older Mexican town names, such
as Tomatlan, Tomatepec, etc, but the
general consensus of opinion among
botanists seems to be that the plant
and it's culture for edible purposes
originated in Peru, when it spread
to other sections of the Americas. 1t
is certain, at any rate, that it was
known and cultivated for its fruit
centuries before the Columbian dis
covery.
That the cultivated tomato was
known to some of the European bot
anists over $50 years ago, is evidenc-
ed by the fact that two large varie-
ties were described by Matthiolus as
early as 1854, but for many years it
was only in southern Europe that the
value of the fruit for use in soups and
as a salad was recognized. 1t was
quite generally used in Spain and
Italy during the 18th century, but in
England and in northern Europe gen
orally the plant was grown only in
botanical gardens as a curiosity and
for ornamental purposes. 1t was sell
dom eaten, being commonly regarded
as unhealthy and even poisonous This
belief probably arose because of the
close resemblance of the plant to its
allied relative the nightshade, or bella
donna and had, of course, no foun-
dation in fact. 1t was not until the
early part of the 18th century that
the tomato came into general use as
a food in northern Europe and even
in the United States. Since about
1885, however, the use and cultivation
of the vegetable has grown to such
an extent that it has now become
one Of the most important of our gar
den crops.
When a successful process Of can
ming the fruit was evolved, the toma-
to industry at once assumed large
proportions 1t was found that for
all cooking purposes the canned fruit
was as good as that fresh from the
vine, and as a result the tomato has
become a staple food the year round,
and millions of dollars are now in
vested in canning factories in the
United States, whose chief output con-
sists of tomatoes. From statistics COM
piled by the National Gamers Asso-
citation for the year 1914 it is learned
that among the tomato-producing
states Maryland ranked first with
production of $500, 900 cases of canned
tomatoes; Delaware second, with l.
335 900 cases; indiana third, with l.
295,O00 cases. The total production
for the whole country amounted to
Is, 222 600 cases of tomatoes and about
100000 cases of tomato pulp fused
in making catsup, sauces, soups, etc)
The total was therefore over 2O.OO0,OO0
cases of "a two-pound cans each, or an
output of 4SO.OOO.OOO cans, weighing
100000 tons, and having an approXi-
mate value of $2S,OOOOOO. If these
cans. were placed one on top of the
other, the resulting column would be
very nearly $1,000 miles high, or if
placed end to end in a row, would
encirc'e the earth one and a-half times
at the equator. These figures deal on
iy with the canned product OF fac
tories keeping accurate statistics
When we remember that perhaps
twice as many more are eaten raw
and canned by the thrifty housewives
and girls canning clubs, we may get
some idea OF the Importance in our
national economy of the garden toma-

career, during which he accomplished
much for Russia. he made many now

ability and remarkable capacity for
work was never questioned
Regardless of his work as a States

DEBATE F..
IN YEARS

The university of South
ern California went down to
defeat for the second time to
the debaters of the North
Dakota agricultural college
last night at the Agricultur-
al armory in one of the clos
est and best debates that
have ever been heard in
Fargo.
After Reul Vile and William Men
denhan of the A. c., and Harold Nor
ton and John Cartzdafner of the the
California institution had finished the
presentation Of the question on debate
two Of the judges brought in verdict
for the North Dakota institution and
one voted for the California debaters.
With doubt it was one of the most
hotly contested debates that has ever
been pulled off in this state and only
by the most judicial consideration of
the subject as presented by the young
men was it possible for those whose
duty it was to decide the matter, to
pick the winner.
1t was a great victory for North Da-
kota, as it was won after a hard bat
tie with a foe that was worthy of the
metal of the A. G.. debaters. To the
500 people present the entire contest
was one of tenseness and the vast audi
ence' hung on the words OF the speak
ers as though their very lives depend
ed on their catching everything that
was said. At times ii was hard to tell
who was getting the best of the con-
fiict, the tide of battle rolling back
and forth in manner that made the
audience think of the reports from the
western theatre of war in Europe.
The ajubact on debate was one Of
the mast interesting that could possi-
bly, have been secured. IT was Resolv-
ed, That the initiative and referendum
should be made part OF the legislative
system of state governments.
The agricultural college debaters
took the affirmative and the California
men upheld the negative. Not only
did the contest show that there were
four good debaters at work but il
also convinced the audience that there
were four promising young statesmen
before them,--young men who had
spent a lot of time studying not only
the initiative and referendum, but

There has been one great big
howl raised by the republicans
because OF the fact that they are
going to lose control OF the state
horticultural board. Democrats
take their losing dose as a mat
ter Of course, but it hurts a re-
publican more to be weaned from
the public teat than it does u
healthy cali from it's mothers
pap. Even Editor Purcell. OF
the Weiser Signal, who generally
intends to print the truth, gets
IN wrong on the horticultural
matter. He says: "The legisla
ture provided that the members
OF the horticultural board shall
be appointed 10y the governor on
recommendation OF the state
association" The legislature
didn't provide anything OF the
kind. The legislature said: "Sec-
ton 1910. The State Board of
Horticultural Inspectors shall
consist OF five (5) members, who
shall be appointed by the Gov
ernor of the State, and shall hold
their offices for a term OF two (2)
years, or until their successors
are appointed and qualified; and
IN making said appointments,
the Governor shall consider any
recommendations made by the
State horticultural association
as the proper person to be so APP
pointed" Plain, isn't it, Bro
Their Purcell? Ii the law intended

perrogative of harping on the
matter to their hearts content.
We fan to get their view. In the
first place, the position is pecu-
liarlY a personal one. The pri.
vate secretary must necessarily
be a conildant of the closest POI
litical secrets Of the official, as
well as many Of the personal
ones. The appointor must have
absolute confidence in the
ability OF his appointeeto respect
confidences. The integrity OF
the appointee must be unques-
toned. No man who knows
Charley Broxon will for nom.
ept, question his integrity. No
man who knows him will, for a
moment, question bis eminent
htnessior the position, both from
standpoints Of experience and
efficiency. 1t is true that he once
got into jail for not following
our advice not to criticizea court
that had power to imprison him
Tor making remarks about it,
true or otherwise. The truth or
ialsity OF those remarks cut no
figure in the result, and it was
never passed upon; that was un.
necessary, as we told Charley in
the beginning. But the fact re-
mains-and those newspapers
