STRING OF FREIGHT CARS $50
MILES LONG

Just think of a single gigantic train
extending from Chicago east, on any of
the main trunk lines, as far as the
Niagara Falls. When you think of this
you will have some faint idea Of what
wartime car saving means, when ex'
pressed in terms of results accom-
plished last year by single industry,
The fertilizer industry in endeavor
ing to cooperate with the government,
last year undertook to ship only In full
carloads. The previous year the aver
age carload of fertilizer had been
about 20 tons-only half of the car
occupied. Last year this average was
raised to over 80 tons per car, with
the net result that the equivalent of
more than $1,000 car trips were saved.
Other industries must also fol-
low the same plan. Lime, feed,
fertilizers, all sorts of materials, must
be shipped in full carloads. The way
to accomplish this is for consumers to
foresee their needs; and foreseeing
their needs to place their orders early
so that there will be time enough for
full carloads to be made up. lmmedi-
ate shipment, as early as possible,
must also be the rule-so that neither
the manufacturer storage, nor the
dealers storage may become over
taxed.

MORE MONEY FOB TOMATOES
Larger Crops and Better Quality Make
Bigger Profits.

Good tomato crops are profitable.
Average crops pay the grower little
more than day wages. The grover
who is successful uses methods that
insure large yields and high quality.
In a few sections, average Yields do
not exceed two tons, yet in New DER
sey on farms delivering to a ssingle
cannerY, there was total of more
than 5000 acres where the growers last
year averaged about seven tons per
acre. twenty-five per cent of this area
yielded between 10 and u tons to the
acre. A number of middle Western
growers have averaged over 20 tons
10 the acre. Large yield, quality aud
big profits 90 hand in hand.
Humus the Life of the Soil.
Soils containing plenty of organic
matter will start tomato plants more
quickly, cultivate more easily, and
carry the plant through a period of
drought more certainly than will those
lacking humus. Field observation es-
tablishes the fact that many tomato
growers have allowed the organic mat
ter of the soil to become exhausted,
and many low yields can be laid to
this cause. Most Eastern tomato grow
ers can now get little or no manure.
Many Western growers are having the
same trouble. Many depend largely
upon commercial fertilizers.
An abundant supply of suitable avail
able plant food is essential to most
profitable yields. Without sufficientfood
the plant does not possess strength to
