MAKES MONEY ON TOMATOES.

Harry Clark. a seventeenyear old
boy OF Woodbury.. Conn, Is planning
to install this winter a home canning
factory capable OF putting up 10000
No. 8 cans OF tomatoes OF his own
growth in one season.
Harry Clark has been interested in
home canning for the last three years.
but found out that he could make more
money by specializing on tomatoes.
Last year he put up 400 No. 8 tin
cans OF fine fruit and sold all OF them
locally at good profit.
The boys and girls clubs department
at the Connecticut Agricultural Col.
lege Is now working on plans for
Harry's canning factory.
Through his work in past years the
boy saved up enough money to buy
the land upon which he will endeavor
to raise sufficient tomatoes to keep his
proposed factory busy. BY raising the
tomatoes through his own labor. cam
ming them az home and selling locally
he will solve the problems Of buying
and selling that many producers must
contend with.
The boys success has already at
traated considerable attention, and
there seems every reason to believe he
can put his new plans through sue
cessfully.

SEED TESTING IN LABORATORY
AND FIELD.
BY w, +. MASSEY.

A great many reports OF seed testing
In laboratories have been published by
United States Department OF Agri-
culture and the State agricultural
experiment stations. These reports
are usually in a tabular form,
the columns giving the percentage Of
purity" and the percentage of ger
mination," and in the case OF clover
and grass seed the different species OF
weeds found are enumerated. Many
readers imagine that the percentage OF
purity means the percentage OF seed
that are true TO name. while 1t means
the percentage left after the weed
seed and refuse have been eliminated
IN the case Of clover and grass seed,
in the hands of an expert who knows
tho peculiarities of each species, the re-
port OF the test is OF value 10 the farmer
and almost invariably shows the cheap
or low price clover seed Is always
the dearest and also dangerous from
the vile weeds carried with It to the
farm. Sometimes great injustice may
be done to the seed dealer by tests not
adapted to the species. Years ago q
fine sample Of clean blue grass seed
vas placed In the hands OF an expert
ment station for test. The man who
made the test reported. after twenty
days trial. that 1t had but so per cent.
termination. He was not aware that
Kentucky blue grass seed would con-
tinus to terminate for year. and that
cooper cent. termination in twenty
days was really a very excellent show
ing.
When We come to vegetable seed
for the garden the laboratory tests
are OF little value. They can only tell
the percentage Of the seed that germi-
nate. and very often the sample with
lower termination will be the best
bred seed and worth a great deal more
than sample that shows more vigor
Tho nearer a sample of seed comes to
the original wild form. the stronger

The laboratory test cannot tell us
