SAVING TOMATO SEED ON The
FARM

College Park, Aug 3o-It is the GUS
tom with tomato growers to buy their
seed from the market This has been
done, but often times with consider
able loss TO the grower The seed, OF
course, can be secured in this way at
little cost, which no doubt, has appeal
ed to the growers more than anything
else; however, there is another con-
alteration in this connection. The
seed bought upon open market may
have come. and often does come from
plants that are more or less diseased.
The plants may not only be diseased.
but they are in many cases weak and
unprolific. This is especially true OF
seed that is saved from the general
run of tomatoes at the canning houses
and hundreds OF pounds of seed are
saved every year by this method.
A much better way to secure good
tomato seed is TO save it from the best
by marking the plants with a stake
about the time they begin 10 ripen
fruit and by gathering the fruit from
the marked hills separately. This seed
is squeezed out into a barrel or the
whole fruit of the tomatoes them
selves placed in the barrel and crush
ed, after which water is added TO the
contents, and allowed to stand for two
or three days, or until fermentation
takes place, at which time the pulp
will rise and the seed will sink to the
bottom. The water is then poured OFF,
together with whatever pulp may be
removed with the water, and a fresh
supply of water added. After stirring
the contents, allow it to settle and
pour off again. This may be repeated
until the seed is fairly clean, after
which it is removed and spread out to
dry In place where birds and mice
cannot feed upon it.
Some of the Gamers of the State are
cooperating in this good work by pay
ing either the usual price or within
few cents of the usual price for the
seed tomatoes, and still allow the
seed. This can be done very well
where the Gamer puts up pulp or a
catsup.
Seed saved as suggested here will
yield very good income on the extra
expense of saving it,
This is not a new theory, but =
demonstrated fact, as many Of the
growers are now practicing it, This
mafhod IF i1On,.Ovino fba eron has all
ready been applied to other crops such
as potatoes, in which case the seed is
saved by the hill method, and seed
corn saved in the field, and wheat in
which the plant berry is selected from
the most prolific strains, thus produc-
ing higher yielding strains and
varieties.

BABY'S DEATH STIRS FLEET.
Three Warships Help Bereaved Sailor
To Get Home To Funeral.

"Some day I'll come back to you,
little boy" said Lionel Thorogood.
Naval Militiaman. as he gravely re-
turned tn smiling salute of his g.
year-old son Donald, and said good
bye to the boy and his mother one day
in April, before returning to his ship.
Somewhere in the Atlantic last Mon
day Thorogood was taking his turn at
the watch on a United States battle
ship Suddenly there came splitting
and rafting from the wireless cabin
An officer stepped up to Thorogood
and handed him message reading:
Your son Donald dead. Funeral
Wednesday afternoon. Can you come ?"
The Captain of the battleship was
appealed to. He decided that Thoro-
good, one of his best seamen. should
sees baby before they buried him.
Then a race began. The battle
ship. several hundred miles out in the
Atlantic, began sending wireless meg
sages to sister ships in the vicinity.
Soon a gray form appeared, a boat
was lowered, and the father wss
transferred to another vessel After
few hours q torpedo boat, which had
rece lived wireless message from the
battlestip as it was returning to port,
was sighted. and ThorogoOd was trans
ferred to this.
A port was reached, aud a taxicab
rushed the father to train bound for
Cleveland. Another tsxicab rushed
him from the train to his home, where
he arrived an hour before the funeral
took place.

AT The Palace Tonight.

Ben Wilson, who has been starred
in the previous chapters of the biggest
serial success yet, 1.-THE Voice on the
Wire," adapted from the novel by
Eustace Hale Ball, assumed its direc.
tion as we'll, in the twelfth episode,
which is called 1.-The Sign of the
Thumb" That ne is keeping the SER
ial up to the high standard set by the
previous episodes is obvious from this
installment
As Polly stands behind Shirley with
the revolver aimed at his head, he sees
her in the crystal and, suddenly
switching off the main lights, places
himself so that he can look directly
into her eyes. He tells her she can't
shoot, that bis will is her will; her
gaze waivers. and after great mental
struggle, she drops the revolver, as his
will overcomes hers. She awakes
from the hypnotic spell, laughing IN
reactive hysteris.
