TO INCREASE TOMATO YELL
Maine Station Reports Gain Of 80 pr
Cent by Praotiee-others Re.
port Fruit Rotted.
CBy 8. II. cLINToNJ

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 we're started in the field
June 1. headed back July "a, August
and September 5. This work should
be done earlier In the milder climates.
At each trimming the leading
branches we're shortened about six
inches and most OF the side shoots be-
low the first clusters we're removed.
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.
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 we're 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 go 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 a dry season with US, and
il 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 firmer
than that on the trimmed vines.

AMERICAN MADE

1t was Emerson who first suggested
the idea of made-in-America policy
for Americans. In his essay on SELF
Reliance" this is what he says: I'VE
initiate. Our houses are built with
foreign taste; our shelves are gar
nished with foreign ornaments; our
opinions, our tastes. our whole minds
lean and follow the Past and Dis
tant, as the eyes of a maid follow her
mistress. The soul created the arts
wherever they have flourished. It was
In his own mind that the artist sought
his model. And why need we copy the
Doric or the Gothic model? Beauty,

study with hope and love the precise
thing to be done by him, he will
create house in which all these will
find themselves fitted. and taste and
sentiment will be satisfied also"
These words sound rather modern
don't they? OF course Emerson was
speaking OF individuals, but self-reli-
ance is as important to the develop
ment of a nation as of an Individual.
The present war has been a lesson
to us in the value Of national self-re-
lance. Our new attitude toward things

A STRUGGLE WHICH TRrUMpHEp

There is a lesson for university stu
dents in the Army-Navy football game
of last Saturday, in the triumph of
Elmer Oliphant. To him the West
Point cadets owe their victory. The
Army made two touchdowns. Oliphant
carried the ball on each occasion,
dashing through a broken field and
crossing the Navy goal line.
Oliphant is a former Purdue Uni
versity star. The story OF his career
at Purdue is remarkable one. 1t is
the story of youth with no means,
but with high ambition. He had to
work hard for his education. During
the summer before his last year in
the university it is said he worked
fourteen hours a day as a stoker in a
steel plant. He had to do this in or
der to spare the time when he returned
to school to take part in athletics.
And Oliphant was not only a great
athlete. but he was one of the best
students and one of the most popular
In the institution. His triumph at
West Point is reward of courage and
determination.

Editor the Missourian: The editor
OF the Research seems to be desirous
of having someone take issue with
him. AS his identity is supposed to be
unknown, take this method of joining
issue with him.
In his bulletin board" edition he
seems to assume that people acknowl-
edge the justness Of his charges and
accept his facts as true merely be-
cause our mass meeting speakers did
not deny them. He seems to think they
could do nothing else because they
called it pusillanimous paper. Does
he really think that his paper was of
such importance that we should turn
our mass meeting over to discussion
Of it? The mere facts that it is an
anonymous publication is sufficient
that the great majority Of the student
body would not give credit to the
statements made in 1t.
I assume that the editor is a stu
dent, and as such, is interested in the
betterment Of this school. No doubt
his purpose is to remedy what he sup
poses to be an evil. But the distribut-
ing over the state Of an anonymous
paper containing articles written in
the manner in which those articles in
the Research were written, and near
ing on to libel. will undoubtedly do
more harm for the University than do
the existence Of those supposed evils
which he intends to do away with.
Although there are some vestiges
of truth in the Research, the majority
Of the articles convey impressions
which are not true. II the editor cares
to make himself known this can be
proved to him. His most vigorous at
tack is upon the athletic department,
and in his statements as to this he is
in error. Our athletic department
does not disobey the conference rules,
and It is an acknowledged fact that
our athletics are Of the cleanest type.
In his citation Of the Spracklen af-
fair, the editor Is in error. Mr..
Schultz did not tell Mr.. Spracklen that
If he came out and made good he might
not have to work. His attack on the
personnel Of our football team is un-
justified. Even were this attack true,
1t is en attack on the players as ordi-
nary human beings and not as athletes
or as q part Of the athletic department.
He is wrong when he says the student
body is neglected as to athletic train
Ing. His statistics as to the health of
athletes are mot reliable, and diligent
search would have shown him
that they have been refuted.
His attack upon our governor
and senator is certainly unjustified

COLUMBIA'S PAVING

One of the old-time grads" who
came back for the game sfter many
years absence from Columbia leaned
I'D against a corner store and re-
marked to some of the young fellows
he had Just met: Paving makes a
wonderful difference in a town. When
l went to school here the streets were
mud holes and this downpour would
have made them almost impossible"
Trying to make strangers like a
town with muddy, unimproved, ILL
kept streets is like trying to make a
man fall in love with a slouchy girl.
with rundown heels and muddy
skirt" said another man in the party,
as he twisted his neck to gaze after a
coed who was garbed just contrari-
wise.
They were right about Columbia.
The pavements, white way and street
improvements have made it look like
another town. They go long way to-
ward creating a favorable impression
upon the many visitors who flock
here
Columbia has nineteen and seven
tenths miles of pavement, exclusive
of this years improvements. Several
blocks more are being put down now.
Most of the pavement is brick-about
fifteen and one-half miles-well
grounded in cement to stand the heav-
Ter traffic. There are three and one
half miles of macadam and one and
one half-miles of concrete, which is
better for residence streets where the.
heavy traffic does not come.
All this paving was put down at a
cost Of s600,s21.31. That would be a
nice little sum of money If you or |
had it, and we can think of lots of |
worthwhile things to do with it, but |
when we compare the Columbia of to-
day with the Columbia of a few years
ago, when the streets were buried un-
der mud and slime, when we think
what Columbia's visitors would have
thought of her after Thursdays down.
pour, If that s600,S21.31 hadn't been
thus expended, well have to agree that
1t was worthwhile investment.
