Choose Best Plants
for Tomato Seed

I'm saving tomato seed the plants
should be considered primarily
says Miss Norma Overbey, garden
specialist. Extension Division. Louis
lana State University. Smooth. we'll
ripe fruit is the next consideration.
We should start studying our plots
and selecting our seed-producing
plants quite a long time before the
seeds are ready to gathered.
Choose dozen of the most prom
isng plants and fruits that are devel-
oping. If rough misshapen tomatoes
are common do not save seeds from
the plants. Unfavorable weather or
wrong fertilizer treatment will often
result in the shedding of the flowers.
On this account no absolute rule can
be laid down in the matter of select
ing for crop yield. but in general. the
plants showing vigor and setting a
fairly good number of tomatoes to
each cluster will be found satisfacto-
ry. -
MARK or tag the selected plants
and observe them throughout the
fruiting season. D not pick fruit
from these plants. AS the tomatoes
begin to ripen Gull out the six least
promising plants. Be sure that the
remaining plants are free of wilt, and
that the fruits exhibit the standard
for the variety in the matter of size,
smoothness, earliness, high yield, and
uniform in ripening.
"Allow the fruit to remain on the
vines until ripe Then gather and
remove the seeds. Place the seeds in
a muslin cloth wash off the remain
ing pulp and then spread the seeds
on a newspaper to dry"

Sand, Gravel and Cement
Prices Cut Down

Walter F. Jahncke. secretary and
treasurer of the Jahncke Service
Inc, of New Orleans, dealers in sand
gravel, concrete and building materi-
al announced Wednesday afternoon
the firm had made reduction in the
prices on sand. gravel and cement.
He said he believed this action
would encourage the small builders
and that many persons who were put
ting off building because of the high
price of commodities would start to
build.
"We believe by making reduc-
tion whenever possible it will con-
vince the people we are trying to
play square and at the same time en-
courage the building industry" said
Mr.. Jahncke.
May 10 we issued a circular and
notified the public through the press
that effective May Is we would
guarantee our prices against decline
before December 81, 1919, same to
apply on deliveries made on and af-
ter date of decline. based on written
acceptance covering any specific job.
The guarantee was not to apply to
deliveries made prior to date of de-
cline.
Il now want to inform the public
of another decline in sand, gravel
and cement Those who have con-
tracted with us since May IS will be
given the benefit of the reduction.

AND ITALY
TO AID IN FORCING
GERMANY TO SIGN
Governments Send Notice TO
Their Delegations at the
Paris Peace Conference.

PARIS. Dec. 9.-The Allies to-day
presented a united front TO Germany
in their demand she accept the pro-
tocol to tho peace treaty.
Both British and italian delegates
received notifications from their Gov
ernments that they stand ready TO
carry out the prescribed penalties
should the Teutons refuse to sign.
Ger1nany's delegation at Versailles
is considering what is looked upon as
the last word OF the Supreme Council
Of the Peace Conference in relation
to the protocol.
Elimination OF the clause providing
for coercion by the Allies in case OF
Germany's failure TO execute the
treaty's provisions. and alteration OF
the claim for indemnity for German
warshlps sunk at Scapa Flow are the
most important concession made by
the council. ,...
German demands for modification
OF the treaty clauses calling for the
surrender OF Germans charged with
violations OF the laws of warfare, as
we'll as those dealing with the re-
patriation OF prisoners OF war, are re-
jected. The status Of America in re-
Iation TO the treaty is held not to
alter the effectiveness OF the pact apd
I German objections along this line are
described as pretended rights"
Germany is told it is vain to seek
to delay" the operation of the treaty
and that the Allies await the sigma
turo OF the protocol without further
loss of time.
The Germans themselves are be-
lieved to have decided that the situ-
alton in the United States Senate will
not result in benefit to. them.
I'VE have no false hopes over the
situation in Washington" one mem
Der OF the German peace delegation
admitted. He insisted Germanys at
titude toward the protocol never had
been based upon a hope that the
United States would come into the
breach In behalf OF the German re-
public.
