TOMATO VARIETIES VARY
IN DISEASE RESISTANCE
hybrIds Selected by Louisiana Expert
ment Station Resist wiz
Disease.

Tomato varieties show remark
able difference in regard to their re.
sistance to the tomato wilt disease
according to G.. w. Edgerton, plant
pathologist. Experiment Station
Louisiana State University. Some
varieties are affected very severely
and In badly contaminated soil pro.
duce almost nothing. Other varieties
will grow and produce fair crop on
the worst infected ground.
The experiments which have been
conducted at the Experiment Station
during the past few years have given
US an idea of the effect of the wilt on
some of our common tomato varieties.
The varieties may be grouped as
follows:
Varieties which are very susceptible
to the wilt and will produce only a
small amount of fruit on badly In
fected soil: Stone, Bonny Best,
Chalk's Early Jewel, Acme.
Varieties which show some resist
ance and will generally produce part
of a crop on badly infected soil be-
fore they are killed by the wilt:
Earliana, June Pink, MANIFOLD, Ar
lington, Columbia.
Varieties which show considerable
resistance and will generally produce
a fair crop on badly infected soil:
Hybrids selected by the Louisiana
Experiment Station, Norton, Marvel,
Globe.
OF all the varieties that have been
tried, the Stone is the most suscept-
IDLE to the wilt and produces the
poorest crop on badly infected soil
This variety cannot be grown salts
factorily in those sections where the
wilt is bad.

BACKYARD FLOCK
KEEPS FAMILY IN EGGS

A small flock OF hens can be kept
with profit by many town and city
dwellers who have a backyard, say
the poultry specialists of the Exten-
sion Division, Louisiana State Uniyer-
sity. Even as few as eight or ten
hens should produce eggs enough,
when used economically, for a family
OF four or five persons throughout
the year, except the moulting period
of the fall and early winter.
Householders usually desire not
only eggs for the table and for cook
ing, but also an occasional chicken
to eat For this reason one. of the
general-purpose breeds, such as Plym-
outh Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode Island
Red, or Orpington, is preferable to
the smaller egg breeds, such as the
Leghorns. Not only do the mature
fowls of these breeds, because of
their larger size, make better table
fowls than the Leghorns. but the
young chickens for the same reason
make better fryers and roasters,
whereas chickens Of the egg breeds
are suitable only for the smaller
broilers.
The general-purpose breeds are also
"broody" breeds, the hens making
good sitters and mothers, which is
decided advantage when it is decided
to hatch and raise chickens, since the
hens of the egg breeds seldom go
broody and are in any event rather
unreliable sitters and mothers. If,
however, the production of eggs out
weighs the desire for an occasional
table fowl, the lighter egg breeds UNI
doubtedly will be found better, be-
cause they produce eggs more cheaply.
1t is by all means advisable to keep
some pure breed or variety. Where
this is done, sales at a profitable fig
ure can often be made of breeding
stock intended for market, or Of eggs
for Matching.

fnaugurated scheme for the reclama-
lion Of land on the Lincolnshire shore
of the Wash. A bank IL being con-
structed from Wainheet. little below
Skegnees, to Preston, near Boston
(Lincolnshire). commencing at the
Wainfleet end. and by this means It
is hoped to recover about 1900 acres.
The work is In charge of resident
engineer in Wainfleet and will employ
a large number of men. who will be
selected from demobilized soldiers and
sailors, and thus obviate the taking
away Of labor from agriculture. 1t Is
said that in the middle Of the last CEN
fury reclamation scheme was started,
and 1t was then estimated that sufii-
GENTLY large area would be redeemed
from the Wash to form new English
county. The enterprise was abandon
ed, but experts have always maintained
its practicability, which Is now in the
course of being tested.

Saw George EIIot's Ghost.

The death Of Mrs. Katherine Mac
quoid, the veteran novelist. at the great
age Of ninety-three. sewers another OF
the few remaining links with the Vic
torian past. A contemporary Of George
Eliot, Mrs. Macquoid used to tell how
she once saw the famous writer in a
vision.
When George Eliot went to live at
Chelsea Mrs. Macquoid proposed to 60
and call on her. But before she could
do 30 a remarkable and tragic thing
happened.
One night Mrs. Macquoid awoke sud-
denly, and saw the figure OF George
Eliot standing between the bed and
the wall. The apparition was distinct
and unmIstakable. On the following
evening Mrs. Macquoid learned of
George Eliot's death.
