man nature should confine their prac-

Tomato Planning Notes

This is the height OF the planting
season for second early tomatoes. Try
to put out all your second earlies be-
fore June LIST. Lates may be planted
until June Goth II good plants are used,
but it is usual better to finish setting by
june 10th If possible. Make up your
land by ridging one way and cross
marking, spreading poisoned bait at
night for the cut worm which are very
bad this year, then you will be ready
to take advantages Of shower by set
ting the plants Immediately after. Be
sure to set plants deep SO that only two
or three inches show above the ground.
In no case should even tall ones be
ret in such q manner as to show more
than four inches out of the ground.
Experience teaches us that light crops
are very often caused by hollow stemm-
ed plants, which condition is caused by
allowing considerable length of stem
to be exposed to the sun and wind.
In applying mixed fertilizer under
the rows before plantingit is not safe
TO use over six hundred pounds per
acre Of high grade goods AS general
rule one-half Of the fertilizer you are to
use per acre should be applied under
the rows before setting and one half
scattered along the rows and cultivat-
ed in from four to six weeks after
plants are set. In no case should clear
fertilizer come in direct contact with
the stems or roots Of young tomato
plants.
Poisoned bait, for destroying cut
worms. composed OF paris green or
arsenate OF lead mixed with wheat
bran or middlings and molassss should
be scattered on the field before setting
she crop. In case you neglect to take
this precaustion and later find the
worms are destroying plants after they
are set and you wish then to scatter
the poisoned bait do not allow it to
touch any part of the tomato plants.
Watch your small field-grown seed
Iings as this is the critical time, owing
to the small black flea beetle which
eats small round holes through the
leaves. thus retarding their growth and
in many cases proving fatal to the
young plants. busting or spraying
should be resorted to il necessary.
