SO Per Cent of
Tomatoes Found
To Be Growing

Otis Schlsf of the Colorado Pack
ing Corporation has spent the last
three days In very thorough investi-
cation of the condition of the tomato
plants in this territory since the hard
frost of Sunday NIGHT.
He reports that he finds 9S per cent
of the tomato piahts that were dam
aged by frost are putting our new
shoots Just below or ahove the
ground. He recommends that the 10.
mato tracts he irrigated every third
day until the plants have good new
start.
These plants which are putting out
new sprouts will grow faster than new
plants on account of their fine roots.
While the frost has put the plants
back this district has had less damage
than any other part Of the state, so
that In comparison with other terri.
tory the tomatoes here. tf properly
cared for, will be the frst on the mar

those of Lincoln Park and Penrose
