A TRICK FOR THE TRUCKERS
Fall Tomatoes May Be Had From
Cuttings

Tomatoes grow readily from
cuttings, and an early crop may be
had by making cuttings from the
spring crop. Seedlings are hard
to raise during summer unless
they are given special care. But
plants from cuttings are compare
lively easy to obtain. Then when
roots have formed the plants are
two or three weeks ahead Of
plants made from a seedbed at the
same time.
Probably the easiest way to OBJ
tain plants, according to G. X. Nc
Quarrie, state agent for the Uni
versity of Florida Extension Di-
vision, is to bend the old vine over
and cover a portion of it with
earth so that the top protrudes.
In few days the roots will have
formed and the top may be cut
off with the roots and set. A
more difficult way is to make cut
tings several inches long and set
them in sand until they are root
ed. They should be watered fire.
quently and protected from the
hot sun.
Where the old plants are not
diseased thew may be pruned back
to eight or ten inches and allowed
TO form new tops. This will per-
haps give the earliest tomatoes.
In the home garden this pruning
may be extended over several
weeks so that succession Of to-
natoes may be had. The cuttings
may be made with the same view.

South Florida's Greatest Needs

AT the meeting of the South
Florida Editors Association the
question was asked, "What do
you consider South Florida s
greatest need?" The answers,
made by the editor folk. were all
thoughtful and worth considering.
No vote was taken as to the con-
sensus of opinion on the greatest
need. But in the eyes of this pa
per, the needs might be arranged
in the following order: :
First, better farming methods,
which would include a wider use
of the possibilities of the soil here.
This is clearly the greatest need
for this part of the country, Her
tremendous possibilities have moi
yet been approached. With d
greater development of farming
methods go also a greater devcl,

supply will not reach to the de.
i mand.
After the question of develop,
ment, the need for a greater com.
munity cooperation is apparent
All South Florida must learn to
work together for common aim
The cities and towns must learn
to develop their civic spirit, in or,
der that their best resources OF
individual achievement and com
munity cooperation may be Sc,
cured.
And finally, advertising. Flor
ida must learn to advertise and
then advertise more and after
! that still advertise.
With her resources developed
with her people pulling together
in both production and enjoyment
and with the country at large
thoroughly and truly informed,
South Florida can come into its
own.-Miami Herald.

Guava Propagation

The customary way of propa-
eating guavas in Florida is by
the seed This method is quick
and inexpensive, but the results
are not the best that can be OBJ
tanned. 1t is possible to bud qua
vas by the shield bud method en-
ployed in budding citrus. This
however, is so tedious and diff
cult, owing to the thin banks of
seedlings that it is not an econo-
mical method of propagation.
A more satisfactory way of OBJ
tanning guava plants that will
come true to parentage is by root
cuttings. Guava trees produce a
large number of roots near the
soil surface. A tree ten or fif-
teen feet tall will send out roots
or twenty feet long. Such
roots can be made into cuttings

Ignorant Scientists

We have so often been assured
shat this was an age of pro-
gress, invention and scientific re-
search, that we had come to be-
lieve it. But, recent developments
are about to cause us to revise our
opinion.
1t is now being stated that all
our dye stuffs are imported that
VIC are unable to manufacture our
dyes and that, before long, we will
all be dressed in white, as a conse-
quence.
There are q few Confederate
women yet. left-thank the Lord
- If those nonplusSed ~";on-
lists will apply to them, they will
be informed as to how every
household can manufacture its
own dyes.
During the Confederate War,
purple dyes were produced from
maple and sumac; red dyes were
made from rcd shank; green was
obtained from the common dog
fennel blue from indigo and so or
all along the line.
We are glad to learn, as we de
from the confession of the scien
lists of their inability to produc'
dyes, that our old publisher wa

These cuttings should be MADE
long enough to facilitate hand
ling, and to allow the lower end
to reach moist soil when placed
for striking. Four to six inch
es is a convenient length. The di-
ameter of a root used for making
cutting should not be less than
ene-fourth inch. The smaller roots
strike less freely.
Cuttings may be set in al ordi-
nary striking bed or in cutting
flats. Clean white sand will be
found one of the best materials IN
which to strike guava root cut
tings. They should be placed IN
perpendicular position, with
the tops even with the surface of
the soil. The bottoms and tops OF
the roots will then be callous and
strike in a few weeks. Those
cuttings that are about the size of
a fountain pen are likely to be a.
mong Tho first to strike and pro-
duce buds. AS soon as the cut
tings have struck well and show
top growth, they may be transfer
red to narsery rows, and when
they are from two f" f- feet
tall can be set in an. orchard.
The foregoing method of prop
agation has not been widely prac-
ticed, owing to the ease with
which seedlings can be grown or
plants obtained from old guava
plantations; (many of the plants
under old trees are sprouts
The latter haphazard way Of Sc
curing plants is however, uncer-
tain since one never knows what
the product will be. By using
root cuttings one would be able to
control the parentage and variety
Nearly every guava grove in Flor
ida contains one or more trees of
superior quality, either for des-
sert or jelly making. Some Of
these are also above the average
in productivity.
AS most of the fruiting guava
trees in Florida are seedlings, the
crop produced is variable both in
quality and quantity. Guavas
come fairly true to seed so far as
the. general class is concerned, but
there is a marked variation in
quality of fruit and the produc-
tiveness of individual trees. a.
mong large number of Seeding
trees that fruited at the Plant In
PRODUCTION Garden in Miami, wide
variation in these respects was
found, altho the seed came from
the same source.
Three classes of guavas, belong
ing to the species Psidium guaja-
va, are recognized. The table
guava is a delicious fruit, sub
acid and sweet. 1t usually has a
pinkish or reddish center and vel
low peal. The fruit from this
class does not as a rule produce
large amount of jelly, and from
some of the fruits it is difficult to
make jelly at all.
Another class of guavas grows
large fruits, some of them the
size of a large apple. Members of
this class are known by various
names such as Sweet Guava, Bra
lillian Guava and South Ameri-
can Guava, They are inferior for
jelly making or dessert, and not
as good for canning or preserving
as the table guavas.
The, jelly guavaS are usually
smaller than medium size and
have either pinkish or whitesh
flesh. When ripe they are too
tart for making good dessert
fruit. These, however, produce
the largest amount of jelly, and
hence are grown for this purpose.
