passed without strangers walking over
the rough road through the settlement
and every one knew that these men, so
curious and get so unwilling to speak
even a "good-day." were doing service
for Marcus Mackenzie.
At last one day, crushed with APP
prehensiOn and despair, Jeremiah
Hopkins decided that n of them
should go to Robert PercivaI to ask
his aid in keeping the settlement to-
gether. Polly was so sure he would
keep his word to her-now they would
give him the chance.

her red cheeks against the speakers

"Oh, l couldn't never go to Inn,

"All right, Lye," she managed to say.
"I1l go after Jerry's in bed, an the

So 1t came to pass that nightfaIl

hill to the railroad tracks. She turned
south on the boulevard and stole a %

INJURED to herself some of the love
words Granny Hope had planted In
her memory, and when she turned into
the ~carriageway leading to the Rob

Around and around the house she
crept, until with trepidation she
mounted the steps leading to the front
porch and tiptoed to a long French
window. 1t was partly open and there,
seated before q table, was the man she
sought.
Polly knocked once, but the sound
was so faint Robert did not hear It.

lips, and the young man glanced up.
At the sight of her he got to his feet

TOO MUCH KINDNESS
GIVEN CATTLE
BY FARMER

About two months ago an inspector
of the Division of Animal Industry was
called to model hog farm in the San
Joafuin valley to determine the nature
Of sickness among pigs which had been
dying at thc rate of ten to tweve week
ly. This farm had spared no expense
in the comfort, care and feeding OF the
swine, aud at the time of the inspcc-
tor IS visit there was total of about
six hundred head of all ages thereon.
Careful autopsies were made ON several
earcasses and the only lesion detected
in every instance was a more or less
chronic inflammation of the lining mem
brane of the intestiDcs. An examina-
tion of the living animals revealed a
surprisingly large number in q very I'M
thrifty condition in spite of good care,
shelter, feed and water. Abdomens of
affected animals were distended with
gas giving them q typical pot
bellied' appearances They were max
ing TO growth, in fact some four month
old pigs We're no larger tlsan pigs half
their age should be.
The trouble pointed conelusivcly to
digestive disturbance but examination
Of feeding offered no explanation.
Further inquiry, however, revealed the
fact that condition powders or tonic
powders had been fed quite literally as
'conditicmers. - IN fact they had been
mixed with the morning and evening
grain ration regularly. The owner was
was advised that in the inspector s
opinion the animals had been ovcrdosed
with these condition powders, and it
would be well to discontinue their use
for q while and watch results, which
he promised to do Some three weeks
later the inspector was advised by let
ter that since the discontinuancc of the
use of the powder the affected pigs had
shown remarkable Improvement, and no
new cases of mysterious sickness had
appeared among the airimals. a later
visit TO this farm in the course OF q
month by the same inspector revealed
healthy. thrifty lot of pigs, and
happy herdsman.
The object of the state department OF
agriculture in citing this incident is
not to condemn the use of condition
powders in general, hut on the contrary
| 70 call attention to the abuse i'll using
them at times. Animals which are
| properly cared for and fed with rations
| containing the elements of food that
| produce normal growth and thrifttness
do not require medicated agents or any
supplementary mineral substance! Uh
der some conditions, however, where
the feed is lacking in these mineral
constituents, or where the condition OF
the animals indicates their use, they
can be used to good advantage.

The tomato crop is third in value of
the vegetable crops in this country. A
large portion of the crop is canned or
made into soups and pHrees. In the
United States from 100000 to 100000
acres arc devoted to tie crop annual
ly for canning and manufacturing
purposes. The yield is about 100000
tons per annum. The industry is
widely scattered over the United States,
but Maryland, New Jersey, Virginia,
Indiana and California produce large
part of the crop.
1.-THE tomato says James II. Beat
tie, horticulturist, United States de-
partment of agriculture, :" is one of the
few vegetables of American origin that
have attained great commercial I'M
portancc. introduced into the United
States about 1900, it was for long
time looked upon largely as an orna-,
mental plant. Owing to its relation to,
the nightshadc family, 1t was regarded
with suspicion and was said to be
poisonous and it was not until the
strong prejudice has been broken down
that its cultivation began to attrack
attention and its use became general.
"About the middle cf the last CEN
tury canned tomatoes where introduced
as an article of trade, and the tomato
canning industry soon attained con-
siderable Importance. In 1887 the total
pack of canned tomatoes i'll the United
States was about 100000 cases, each
case containing two dozen No. 3 cans,
each holding approximately one quart.
Occupies Third Place
''Tomato production has grown un-
til at the present time the tomato oc-
.cupics third place among the vcgc--
table crops in value, being exceeded
only by potatoes and sweet potatoes
The average annual pack of canned
tomatoes for the ten years ended with
the season of 1920 was Approximately
12,794,6l0 cases of No. cans of their
equivalent. In addition to the toma-
toes canned large quantities were used
for the making or soups, purccs ana
pulp.
"Thc tomato is crop requiring a
moderately warm climate and n long
growing season for its best develop
mcnt. In the northern states where
Imperial Valley press., 1922-03-15

the frost free season is too short for
maturing the crop out of doors, it can
be grown by starting the plants in
doors, thus prolonging the season by
several weeks. BY following this
practice it is possible to grow toma
toes i'll o commercial way in regions
where the industry could not other
wise flourish. In climates where it's
growth is not Interrupted by frost the
tomato is a perennial plant, but in
the portions of the United States
where the tomato-cannmg industry
has attained it's greatest Importance
the tomato is treated as an annual.
"Climatic conditions, nearness to-
market, labor supply, soils and other
factors have all had an influence in
the development of the industry in
Maryland, California, Indiana, Missouri,
Delaware, New York, Utah, Illinois,
see, Virginia and West Virginia, where
Che major portion of the tomatoes
grown for canning and manufacturing
are produced, the volume of the pack in
the several states being i'll the order
mentioned.
Distribution of Crop
"While the high temperatures and
hot sun of the lower south are well
suited to the growing of tomatoes for
canning and the northern limit of
their growth is established by the
short growing season of the northern
portion of the United States, it does
not follow that the present distribution
of the industry is in all cases econom-
ically sound.
'Witkin the climatic range to
which the tomato is adapted it is not
particularly eXacting as to soil re-
quirements. Any good soil suitable
to general farm crops can readily be
adapted to the growing of tomatoes
for canning. The plant requires from
80 to 1l0 days from seed to come in
to bearing, but abour one-third this
period can be spent in greenhouse
the hotbed, or some other protected
place and the growing season can in.
this way be considerably heightened.
"The plant bears until killed by
frost unless injured by drought, in
sccts or disease; hence the longer the
producing season the higher the yields.
The crop requires about same amount of
moisture as other farm crops in the
section to which tomatoes are adapted.
From consideration of these factors
it is apparent that large areas, lying in
broad belt between the extremely hot
lower south and the snort growing sea
son areas of the north are, as far as
the general requirements of the plant
are concerned, well adapted to the
growing of tomatoes for manufacturing
purposes.
