TOMATOES ARE BEST
IF RIGHTLY PRUNED
Fruit Is Larger, Cleaner and Su-
periOr in Flavor.
Grown In Home Garden Stalking and
Pruning Require Little Trouble

LI.Iapared. by fhe United states Depart

A thrifty tomato plant left to itself
will spread over a space from 4 TO 6
feet in diameter and will produce
peck or more Of tomatoes If staked
and pruned it will yield about the
same quantity Of fruit, the tomatoes
will be larger cleaner, better favored,
and superior in every respect, and
enough space can be conserved to ac-
commodate five other plants cared for
in a similar manner, say garden spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The staked and
pruned plants are easily sprayed, and
will continue to produce fruit later in
the fall than plants which are allowed
to spread naturally. As a rule, also,
the pruned tomatoes will mature ear
Her. ON the scale on which tomatoes
are grown in the home garden, stalk
ing and pruning require little trouble,
and will fully repay the effort.
When the plants begin omaking a
vigorous growth, shoots will appear in
the little pockets where each leaf joins
the stem, Later the blossoms appear
on the opposite side of the stem. In
pruning the plant, remove all these
side shoots and those around the base
of the plant being careful not TO dis
turb the blossom clusters. The shoots,
sometimes called suckers, should be
piuched Off shortly after they appear.
The main stem can be carried to the
full height Of the stake, then allowed
to hang over. BY this time six or sew
en- blossom clusters, on which the
fruit is developing should be set on
the stem.

fifteen years. Briefly, tile plan was
nothing more OF less than a straight
annual salary which Included tenant
house and the usual gftlen and poul-
try perquisites. and, MS a bonus, a
share Of the net profits
The proft-sharing plan has served to
stimulate the efforts Of the employee
and has greatly lessened the supervi-
sion necessary on the part of the
owner. BY the use Of the telephone

himself 1t was important that the man
agement of his other two farms take
as little of his time as possible. Thus
far the managers have been selected
from the men employed on the home
farm, which serves as training
school.
How Net Income Is Determined.
The managers are given a regular
monthly wage and a bonus consisting
Of one-third of the net farm income.
In determining the net income 3 per
cent interest on the valuation Of the
property is first taken out, as due re-
turn for capital, after which all ex-
penses are deducted, such as for
thrashing. the managers wage, extra
labor, machinery repairs, depreciation,
and the cost Of fertilizers and seeds.
Each Of the two managed farms has
a house for the manager who also can
use the work horses to drive for per-
sonal use, has a garden, and COW or
two for supplying the family with milk
and butter. Fifty chickens are fur
nished. and the family is permitted to
raise as many as possible to supply the
needs of the farm table, but on Decem-
Der ! al the chickens above the origi-
nal. number must be sold and the land
lord gets one-half the receipts The
purpose of this limit on chickens Is
TO enable the manager to have his own
poultry supply without taking undue
advantage Of his opportunity.
In order to calculate the amount of
money which the manager is to re-
ceive on this plan it is necessary to do
n certain amount Of Bookkeeping. This
is left to the owner who keeps Il set
of farm accounts, and on March l
complete inventory is taken and
