WILL TRY TO PASS
DAYLIGHT SAVING
Law DESPITE VETO

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-Advocates
of the repeal of the daylight saving
law will make determined effort to
pass the measure over the president s
veto.
His message vetoing the bill reach
ed the house today, but adjournment
was taken following point Of quorum
before there was opportunity to read
it. The plan is to bring it up for
action in the house probably on Tues
day. Efforts are being made to get
all members to return to Washington
and thorough canvass is being made
by those representing agricultural in.
terests.
Representative Mondell of Wyom.
ing, Republican floor leader, declared
that nothing would be left undone to
secure the necessary two-thirds vote
1t will not be made a partisan issue
those representing the rural districts
favoring the repeal and those from the
larger cities supporting the president
Think President Can Be Beaten
The belief is expressed that the
prospects of passing the bill over the
presidents veto are better than when
an effort was made to do so a few
weeks ago. At that time a provision
repeating the daylight saving law was
included in the agricultural appropria
ton bill. Delay in it's final enact
ment meant that the agricultural de
partment would be unable to pay sal
aries which were due.
The affirmative vote for the pas
sage of the agricultural bill over the
presidents veto was only eight votes
short of two-thirds of those voting.
tWO-t thirds vote is ga i'd to he assured
in the senate if favorable action Is
obtained in the house.
The presidents message probably
| will be referred to the committee or
interstate and foreign commerce anc
in case not enough rural members
have returned to the city action will
be delayed
In his message the president said h;
vetoed the bill with "the utmost re
luctance" after balancing one set o.
disadvantages against another.

Pruning and Stalking Of
Tomatoes Is Improbable
Garden Expert States
BY e. r. MURPHY,
AGRICULTURAL Department


One of the questions most frequent
ly asked by home gardeners is con-
corning the advisahility of pruning
and stalking tomatoes. Does 1t pay?
1t is often thought that pruning and
stalking enables one to secure earlier
tomatoes, but investigations conducted
by the Illinois Experiment station
show that there is, in general, no re-
lation between the severity Of pruning
and the date of-ripening of the earliest
fruit.
1t has been found, through a series
of experiments that there is a relation
between the amount Of marketable
fruit from tomato plants which are
pruned and staked as compared with
unpruned plants not staked. The
average results of seven plats (experi-
ment conducted over a period OF three
years. show that there is much
larger quantity of marketable toma-
toes produced from plants neither
prunned nor staked as compared with
plants prunned and staked.
AS to the size of the fruit as re-
suit of pruning, it was found that
pruning to single stem, e. g., not
only failed to increase the size Of the
early fruits, but also reduced the foil
age to such an extent that the fruit
was badly exposed. Sunburning and
cracking of the fruit followed.
1t is said that the pruning and stalk
ing Of tomatoes adds considerably to
the expense of their culture, and under
average conditions, such expense Is
unwarranted.
