TOMATO CROP THIS
YEAR IS A FAILURE

Tomatoes grown within many
miles will be scarce in the markets
of the Ely district this year, so de-
clare the ranchers who for several
years have sold large tonnages of
them here in past years and who were
rapidly increasing their acreage The
late frost cut them down until there
will he few if any delivered here.
This Is the report from Snake val
ley, where a great many were grown,
as well as from the valleys to the
southwest.
Preparations this spring were
made for larger tomato crop than
any previous year. Growers every
where increased their seeding under
glass for transplanting when tho
time came and vastly enlarged acre
age was transplanted, but every re-
port is that they were frosted down,
often to the ground and no more to-
matoes will ripen than will be re-
quired for family use.
Many green ones for picking will!

CITY PARK TREES
BARKED BY AUTOS
AND KNIFE VANDAL

Ten trees have been barked BY
automobiles or some means not
known and three have been cut
with a knife, removing the bark
all the way around, and the trees
deliberately left to die.
These are the trees planted Ar
Dor day at the city park, every one
of which is in full leaf and grow
ing.
The ones thus damaged are the
silver leaf popIars that were ship
ped from Salt Lake. Their barking
will not kill them outright, but it
will cause them to branch out be-
low where the bark was peeled anG
spoil them by having limbs too
close to the ground and sidewalk.
On account of this the city coun-
Gil Friday night authorized the en-
ployment of special policeman to-
day during the ball game to keep
automobiles from backing into the
trees and further damaging them
1t is believed that the previous
damage by automobiles was done
on the Fourth. The peeling with
a knife was done since then

These trains are moved by four
