Facts About the Tomato.

Facts About the Tomato.
The tomato, the garden vegetable
that is now so popular and so con-
mon in our gardens, was not always
NoA II was once feared, as it was con-
\,iered poison There was much
Nejudice against this vegetable and
Ndck many years to remove it from
erstition and make it popular as
WV is.
me tomato is a native Of South
America. 1t was known and culti-
waited by the natives of that country
before the country was discovered. A
description of Tournefort in 100
would seem to show that some of the
large, smooth varieties like Living
ston's stone were known fully 200
years ago.
The name tomato" according to
Tracy, is derived from the Aztec word
"Xitomate" or "Zitotomate." The
vegetable is still known as tomato
in continental Europe.
Tracy states that the first mention
he finds of the tomato in this country
was in Virginia where it was grown
for culinary purpose as early as 1881.
Frenchman in Philadelphia made
most earnest efforts to get the people
to use tomatoes as a food in 17sS,
but with very little success.
Being a native of that part OF
South America where climatic condi-
tions are uniformly favorable for con-
tinuous growth through the season,
the tomato has become very suscep-
tible to extremes in cold or drouth.
II Is said that when the plants are
once injured slightly by unfavorable
conditions they never overcome IL
fully, but may survive and produce
fruit, though generally of inferior
quality.
The tomato under our conditions
In Texas and the Southwest, especial
" in the black land belt, has ten
dency to produce vine or plant
growth at the expense of fruit. To
reduce this, acid phosphate and pot
ash Should be used as a fertilizer on
such soils early in the season before
the plants are set.
Good cultivation, stalking and
pruning are necessary for large,
smooth, highly-flavored fruit. Where
one has but a small patch an enor-
nous yield may be made by taking
pains with the plants.
One way TO stake is to drive stake
down by the side of the plant and tie
the plant to it with cloth string
Anoher method is to drive two stakes
one on each side of the plant and
bind the plant to the two stakes.
Some gardeners stake the rows by
driving a few stakes on both sides OF
the rows and connecting them with
wire or strong cords, thus holding the
branches off the ground so the fruits
will not rot.
In pruning remove all the large
branches leaving but one main stem.
Keep the plants balanced by pruning
when young. Some pinch out the
leaf buds not wanted, removing the
iaterals that are out of place, and II
the fruit buds seem too numerous
thin them also. More data is needed
as to pruning. Why not prune one
plant and by it's side leave one un-
pruned on several rows to note the
difference? Even this would not be
conclusive as the season this year
might not be such as would prove
that pruning or leaving alone would
be best under ordinary conditions.
But this is the way to test the matter
under your conditions.

The chances are at least ten
20 one against Turkish success.
The spring will not witness
serious naval battle between the
British and the Germans. unless
all present signs fail. The Ger
mans have too much to lose in
the destruction of their warships.
At present. the British cannot
afford to divide their fleet and
send part OF IL into the Baltic to
blockade Germany. But. with the
German battle squadrons at the
bottom of the North sea, Ger
many could be completely isolat-
ed by Baltic blockade.
