HOW TO GROW TOMATOES
 FOR A CANNING FAcToRN
(By C. Woolsey, Asst Horticulturist.
 University of Arkansas)

by C. NOOlSey, ASS sf1OItiNutuiiSS'
 University of Arkansas.)
 Fertilizers.
 The yield of tomatoes is closely proportional to the fertility of the sail Soil fertility should be main tained in the most economical way The following methods are in use which help maintain fertility.
 l. Flowing under all crop jresidues such as manure, straw, stalks, etc
 g. Frequent use Of legmes such as clovers, COW peas, and soy beans in the rotation.
 8. Proper use of fertilizers.
 f. Use lime to keep the soil sweet.
 ,. Drainage
 6 Proper cultivation.
 Greater profit is received from fer tilizers where the grower prepares a better seed bed, practices better cul- tiyation, provides better drainage and uses better seeds and plants. Some growers apply the fertilizer in hills while others apply broadcast or drill in the row. Experiments indicate that the tomatoes feed heavily on phos- phates and most growers apply this fertilizer liberally.
 The amount and kind of fertilizer to apply will depend on the soil and the preceding crop that is grown. If a logume precedes tomato crop no nitrogen should be necessary. Sandy soils usually require more potash than heavier soils. A popular formula is S-4-4, that is per cens phosphate acid, per cent potash and per cent ammonia applied at the rate of 800 pounds per acre Best results are ob- tained where the ammonia is supplied by using part made up with quickly available nitrogenous fertilizer like nitrate of soda and part with one that is slowly available like cotton seed meal or dried blood Where the crop is grown as a truck crop fertilizer may be applied as heavy as 1200 to 1500 pounds per acre with good re suits
