There is perhaps no product of the
garden that is so refreshing or palat-
able as well-ripened, fresh tomatoes,
and they can be used In such va
riety Of ways. While fresh tomatoes
are preferable to canned ones they
lose very little flavor or quality in the
canning aud good canned tomatoes
add very materially to the food supply
of the winter months.
To Get Early Tomatoes.
Early ripenlng adds greatly to the
value of the tomato crop and early to-
matoes can be secured In most sec

tions only by starting the plants in
doors. Garden specialists of the
United States Department Of Agricdl-
ture say 1t Is easy to grow plants in
doors by sowing a small packet of to-
mato seed in cigar box filled with
mellow soil about six or eight weeks
before the usual time of the last kill
ing frost in spring. The seeds should
be covered about one-quarter inch and
the soil kept moderately watered and
the plants will generally come up In
less than week after planting the
seeds. Keep the box near a window
where 1t will get plenty OF sunlight,
and turn 1t around each day to make
the plans grow straight.
When the plants begin to crowd
each other, which will be in about 10
days after they come up, secure a
large, fiat box, say three inches deep
and just long enough to ft into the
window, fill II with rich, sifted soil
and transplant giving each plant
about two inches of space. With
proper care to turn the box from time
to time and also to keep the soil mod
erately watered the plants will be
about four inches high, strong, and
stocky when the weather has warmed
enough to make 1t safe to set them
In the garden.
Warmth Is Required.
Tomatoes naturally grow In warm
climate and require plenty Of warmth
from the start. The plants should be
kept at about living-room tempera-
ture until few days before they are
to be set in the garden; then they
should be gradually exposed to out
door conditions to harden them. After
they are set In the garden 1t may be
necessary to cover them for few
nights with several thlcknesses of
newspaper to protect them from the
cold.
Tomatoes require a moderately rich
soil, not too rich, but just such soil
as will grow good crop OF corn or
potatoes. A little well-rotted manure
can be worked into the spot where
each plant Is to be set and a table
spoonful Of high-grade fertilizer sprin'
kled over a space about one foot In
diameter and mixed with the soil VIII
aid In giving the plant a good start
Planting distances will depend upon
whether the plants are to be pruned
to a single stem and trained to stakes
or are to be allowed to grow accord
ing to their natural habit of spread
ing over the ground. II the plants
are to be trained they may be set II
rows as close as three feet, and spaced
IS inches in the row. II they are no
to be trained the plants should be SCI
three to four feet apart In each direc
tion.

CULTIVATION IS IMPORTANT
Work Neglected in Garden often

The mistake OF waiting till one has
time TO spare to cultivate the garden

should be cultivated when the soil Is
in the proper condition and when the

for the American Legion's homecoming
celebration week i'll Ladysmith, July

Bros attractions, which will come here

The attractions comprise q whip, one

cessions. There are no so-called
'shows" nor Objectionable girl features
and the fun offered is clean and whole

much to it's success. The Ladysmith

Because Ladysmith did not celebrate

BALL SCORES
Ladysmith Gets the Worst of
It's Meetings With Old
Rivals

With the bases full and no one down,
it appeared possible that the Ladysmith
baseball team might win from Bruce
i'll the Fourth of July game. 1t was i'll
the second inning when things were
bright for the home team on the home
field. And they did get two men across,
but right there the scoring stopped, so
far as their own collection was con-
cerned. On top of a good start, Bruce
was held scOreless until the fourth
session, when the boys from west OF
the Chippewa gathered in three runs,
following in the next with two. That
ended the scoring for the game though
both sides fought hard to heap it up.
Had Bruce been playing the regular
team, it might have been different
vastly different-but most of the reg
ular Bruce players were playing with
the Turtle Lake team that day. Any
way, it was good game to see.
