ton, d. C. The bulletin also contains
valuable suggestions to growers a. to
methods which are protitably followed
where the crop is most successful.
The story of the tomato is that of q
delicacy which has lived down a bad
name and come into it's w after
years Of effort. OF American origin, it
attracted unfavorable attention first
about 1900, and for a long time was
ly avoided. Later, designated as the
love apple, it found favor with a few
lovers of delicacies and with growers.
BY 1887 the total pack Of canned to-
matoes in the United States was about
3,OOO,OOO cases Of "a %One-Quart can
each. Now the commercial pack, ex-
elusive of soups, purees, ketchup, and
pulp exceeds 100000 cases Of "A
No. 3 cans. These figures do not in
clude the millions of cans put up by
housewives for home consumption or
the fresh tomatoes which grace Amer
lean tables during the growing season.
Chief among the states where to-
matoes are raised for canning are, In
order named: Maryland, Indiana, Mis-
souri,, Delaware, New Jersey, New
York, Utah, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and
West Virginia. The acreage planted in
tomatoes for canning purposes only
in 1920 was 244,7 45. The yield from
that acreage was 1,OO3,3 1853 tons.
The bulletin follows the methods
used from the seed to the can,
describes methods of planting, soils
best adapted for the vegetables
growth, tells how the crop may best
be harvested, and sums up the chief
requirements for good results as fol-
lows:
Successful tomato growing depends
on good farm practices, good seed.
good plants, proper fertilizer, careful
planting, clean cultivation, and dis
ease control through spraying and
through the use Of disease-resistant
varieties. Growers who pay attention
to these factors produce crops which
give them satisfactory returns"

SATISFACTION IN SERVICE
is TELEPHONE CO, AIM

A new note in corporation manage
ment Is found in the annual report Of
The Southern New England Telephone
Company. 1t records an appreciation OF
the fact that. in the final analysis the
public Is boss of any public utility. and
that, In additio nto good technical SER
vice, a utility must give its patrons
something more in an enthusiastic per-
sonal interest in their requirements. In
other words the telephone company,
which really means all its employees. is
making an honest effort to give salts
faction in every detail of its public re-
lations.
On this point a paragraph from the
annual report of President James T Mo-
ran is interesting as outlining new and
progressive thought and action in the
administration of a large public utility.
while our service obligations are by
no means confined to the establishment
of connections through the switchboard"
SAYS President Moran's report, that IS
the operation from which the efficiency
of our service is most sensitively meas
ured. 1t is gratifying to be able to rec
ord that the improvement In this feature
of our service beginning in the latter
part of 1920 was continued throughout
1921. until a standard equal at least TO
the best IN our history mas Deen TedCneu.
Our ideals. however, are not limited to
what has been accomplished or may be
accomplished in respect to technique or
accuracy but extend to other features
of service In which all departments are
involved. What we are trying to do Is
to supplement good technical service
with personal interest on the part of all
our people in the requirements Of the
subscriber as We are able to interpret
them. To that end we are continually
studying methods and practices and are
! mpressing upon our employees the I'M
| portance Of evident desire tn serve in al
transactions. Our organization has re-
sponded with readiness, not only in re-
lation to routine duties but by the for
nation of public relations or secret com
mittees which meet regularly, carrying
to and from the remainder of the force
many helpful facts and suggestions
While We will always have failures ans
| errors to regret. we are hopeful that on,
continued efforts under broad inter
probation of service will earn more ant
more of public satisfaction and conf
| dence."
