TOMATO CULTIVATION,
URGED UPON AMATEURS
Department Of Agriculture Bulletin
Outlines History Of Vegetable.

Tomatoes are recommended as o
good crop for the home gardener In
the District by the Department OF
Agriculture in a statement today de-
claring the tomato one of the most
valuable of vegetables from an eco
nomic standpoint.
Plant tomatoes" say leaders of the
movement Not only do they give us
q chance to teach gardening. but they
are easily canned and of great value"
The tomato Is an American plant"
reads a department bulletin "of all
the vegetables grown in the United
States none is more valuable or of
greater economic importance in the
diet or for table use than the tomato.
The planting of tomatoes has spread
to all parts of the globe.
For q long time the fruit was held
in dlsrepute. The botanists knew
something OF the plant for over a CEN
fury before It was discovered of value
for human diet. At first IL was grown
for purely ornamental purposes, and
was thought to be poisonous Its
food value was discovered by accident
and after that 1t sprang into rapid IA
vor. 1t was first used for food in
1880"
The bulletin explains that the veEe-
table may be canned very cheaply and
affords excellent profit

CAN STRAWBERRIES
NOW,LATEST ADVICE
Prices Are as Low as at
Any Time.
POTATOES CONTINUE HIGH
Onions Drop, But the Supply Is
Sill Small.

Now Is the time to prepare to put
up strawberries according to the
weekly market review issued today
by the Department Of Agrieulture.
Market specialists OF the Department
say that It Is probable that straw
berry shipments will be at their
height during the next two weeks.
This means that they will be cheap
est during this period, in cities that
can not depend upon q big home
grown supply.
Washington IL fortunate in having
q supply from the Eastern Shore and
nearby Maryland.
Strawberry shipments are not as
large az they were at this time last
year, owing to a somewhat backward
season, but consignments are increas-
Ing from Tennessee, Arkansas, North
Caroline, and South Carolina.
Advises Using Old Bottles.
The use OF old jelly glasses, pickle
jars and bottles, old olive bottles and
any other containers for jellies and
jams is being urged upon American
housewives by Government officials,
who are confronted with the possibiI.
ity to get sufficient ordinary glass
ana tin containers. Mrs. Housewife
can spare the supply for the big pack.
ers by using odds and ends.
The market report shows that the
price OF new potatoes is still very
high, in spite OF shipments from Flor
ida, which continue to be nearly four
times heavier this year than last.
For drst grade potatoes, farmers in
Florida are now getting S7.T6 TO IS a

jobbing prices in the larger markets
are 80 to f9.25 a barrel, or about 20
TO " cents per one-quarter peck,

planted containing three to four eyes.
Reject all seed showing brownish
or blacklist spots or rings in the flesh.
Cut and plant the seed the same
day.
Set the seed four inches in the
ground.

GARDENING COST
Big Expense Is Eliminated by
Experts Inventions.
BOTH DEVICES PRACTICAL
Departemnt Of Agriculture Soon to
Announce Particulars.

High costs connected with the dry
ing of garden products have been
eliminated by the Department Of Ag-
riculture experts.
DIR. David Fairchild. in charge OF
plant Introductory work at the De-
partment of Agriculture, has just
completed the building OF a modern
dryer which may be constructed for
the small cost of 10 cents.
DR.. H. A. Gore. OF the Bureau OF
Chemistry, Department OF Agricul-
ture. has about completed plans for
sand drying OF the products Of the
home garden.
Despite the new inventions for
drying. the experts at the depart
ment advocate canning Of products
when possible.
Struck with Happy Idea.
When plans for drying the prod
ucts> of the home gardens were first
discussed, the cost OF dryers neees-
sary for the work, whether done In
classes or by individuals, was Gp-
parentIy a stumbling block in the
road of the industry.
With prices of dryers for home
use way up In the air. the scheme
did not seem practical.
DR.. Fairchild, considering the mat
ter, was struck with a happy idea,
which after considerable thought and
labor. has been made practical by
him.
Not only may the actual dying
machine be built at home. At very
low cost. IL the plans Of DR.. Fair
child are followed, but heat usually
wasted is utilized in the drying op-
GRAFTON. Methods of constructing
and using the dryer will be made
public shortly.
Idea Pronounced Practical
DR.. Cores sand drying idea has
not yet been completely worked out.
According to advlces from the De-
partment OF Agriculture, however,
the idea is practical.
"Dr. Cores sand dryer will be Of
great value to suburbanites," said an
official of the department today.
With the practical drying machine
constructed at so small q cost the
waste heat utilized, It is thought
much of the product OF local mini
ture farms will be dried for future
use.
Within the next few days complete
plans for building the dryer and par
