| crops in one respect. They cannot
be grown successfully year after year
on the same ground. There must be
rotation of crops. This discovery re-
suited in the diminution of much of
the lily disease from the Bermudas.
While the bulb-growers in the Ber-
mudas were fighting the lily disease,
and many of the American florists
were giving up the growing of the
lilies, the more persistent of the Amer
ican growers were looking all over the
world for new sources of supply.
They found what they wanted In a
lily that grows in the Formosa islands,
south of Japan. The Japanese were
quick to grasp the opportunity that
came to them from the misfortune of
Bermuda. Lily farms sprang up all
through the Islands of the Pacific in
the vicinity of Formosa. The indus
try grew as if by magic all the way
from Formosa to Yokohama.
Now the lily farm, as the japanese
know 1t, is small-the average is not
more than four or five acres. And
the Japanese lily farmer has little or
no capital And 1t takes three or four
years to grow a good Towering bulb.
So the japanese government steps
In and gives the lily farmer lift
loans him money on his crop to buy
bulbs and fertilizer and to keep him
going. Also Japanese dealers in bulbs
contract for the bulbs in advance, loan
him money and keep watchful eye
on his operations.
These islanders, when their lily
crops are harvested, generally carry
the bulbs to Yokohama for delivery.
This means an ocean trip of from lOO
to 500 miles. The boats are small.
Many of them are little more than
what we would call open rowboats.
Consider the toll and danger OF that
vOyagel
At Yokohama the bulbs are graded
by size, packed into cases containing
from 100 to 400 bulbs each. The ex-
portation of these lily bulbs seems to
be in the hands of three or four con-
Germs, and it's good guess that the
.Jananese government controls these
concerns.

Ing the various phases of this lily
farming by the japanese would be IN
teresting. Yes; but the Japanese gov
ernment does not encourage the TAX
ing of such photographs. Possibly one
print of a negative might be allowed
but no negatives can leave japan.
Nowadays we are importing some
thing like 2O,OOO,0OO lily bulbs from
Japan each year. Upon arriving at
San Francisco the bulbs are shipped
In bond to Chicago and New YORK
whence they are distributed through
out the United States. Probably one,
third Of the 2O,OOO,0OO bulbs are forced
into blossom for Easter.

In the course OF work on the selec-
tlon of tomatoes that will resist the
wilt disease, which causes a large an
nual loss In the tomato-canning states.
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has developed variety called
NOrduke, similar to Stone, but highly
resistant to wilt. Four other wilt
resistant varieties have already been
produced, known as the Marvel, which
is medium early tomato selected
from Merveille des Marches, bearing a
heavy crop of smooth red fruit; the
Norton, selected from Stone, producing
a heavy yield of large. smooth. solid
red fruit, which ripens slowly, and
therefore ships well; and Columbia
and Arlington, medium late varieties,
selected from Greater Baltimore.
The Marvel is an excellent variety

and for home gardening. The Colum-

resistance to wilt Of any tomato, and
also some resistance 10 the leaf-spot
disease.
Wilt-resistance strains of tomatoes
are developed by selecting from va
riety which possesses moderate resist
ance, individuals which show higher
resistance. This resistance can be COM
bined with other desirable qualities in
other varieties by crossing. Seeds from
resistant strains have been distributed
through state experiment stations to
Gamers and others for testing, and
some of the varieties are now being
carried in the catalogue lists of seed
houses.

The department also has cooperative
arrangements with the various rail-
roads whereby the shippers are in
formed of daily carlot shipments of
onions everywhere In the United
States.
For marketing purposes the Texas
onion-producing section Is divided into
three districts: The Laredo district,
consisting of Webb county. the upper
counties, comprising Dimmit, Frio, La
Sale, and Zavalla counties; and the
Gulf Coast district, embracing the ter
ritory contiguous to the st. Louis,
Brownsville & Mexico and the San An
tonic & Arkansas Pass railroads.
Shipments are made to every state
In the Union east of the Rocky noun
tains, the principal markets being New
York, Pennsylvania. Illinois, Missouri

alone has taken In the past as much
as 20 per cent of the entire carlot
movement. Laredo Is the shipping
center for approximately one-third of
the onions from the entire section, and
headquarters Of practically all buyers
and operators are there located.
