ing. and toward the development of
pure strains of these sorts. The i'm
portance of the first generation
hybrid as means of securing op-
tirnum yields of tomatoes under
limited field culture and in green
houses has been demonstrated. The
selection of high-yielding strains OF
tomatoes, especially adapted for can
ming, is still in progress Important
advances have been made which
promise to be of value to the cam
ming industry.
The outstanding accomplishment to
the credit of the department in con-
nection with the tomato industry Is
the production Of excellent varieties
such as Margl0De and others which
have proved SO resistant to wilt, nail
head rust and kindred troublesome
diseases. Approximately 5000 cars
of Marglobe tomatoes were shipped
from a single county in Florida in
the winter Of 1926-27. The Marglobe
is also being adopted in other truck
ing areas and in the canning regions
as rapidly as the seed supply viii
permit. Six other varieties Of to-
matoes, viz, Marvana, Varvelosa,
Marvel, Norton, Columbia and Nor

NTW YORK, Aug. 20.-Ranking
next to that number one question:
was it fair Or foul Now comes
No. ." what happened to those
Chicago Cubs
Something beyond all doubt has
happened to the Cups Just as some
thing occurred when ;oharkey fell
at the feet OF Dempsey.
1t was a great surprise to some
fans when the Cubs started to play
winning ball, when they squirmed
past the tavorites into first place
IN the National league and when
they persisted in remaining there.
JusC as it was predlcted OF the
New York YANKEES, that SLUMP
was bound to come and cut down
tnelr American league lead OF Il
20 10 games, 1t was SAID OF the CUBS
= they don belong up there.
Wait I'LL the half way mark and
watch them fade
But here it is, past the middle of
August. The Cups are still leading
rated so good that Wall street is Ue,-
ting eIgnt to i've they WIN the pen
nant.
What is tne matter with the Cubs
a good guess Is several good CUES
ses and they are Joe -ucCarthy
Charley koot and Hal Carlson. Also
" llsoh and " Webu.
1t appears very likely that the

strong that bets at short odds are

the American league.
he cubs play The majority OF
their remaining games at nome and
! Tie support OF the raUbld north side

Another factor, and an important
