TOMATO MART
DROP DISCUSSED
Planting Of Flats Held
Largely Responsible BY
Davis Wade
Special to The Herald.)

sAN BENTTO, June 5.-Breaking
OF the tomato market is blamed
more on the fact that many grow
ers planted early flat varieties In
an effort to catch the early market
after their globe varieties were cut
back by the cold than on the re-
cent rainy spell by Davis Wade Of
Wade & Newton, Valley shippers
with headquarters here.
Originally the growers planted
heavily to the standard globe vari-
cites, Mr.. Wade said. Then when
the globes were hurt by the cold
they replanted with varieties which
we're early but flat. The trade pro-
tested against the early varieties
because the buying public does not
Ike them. They are thin and not
as easily sliced as the round toma-
toes. The flats do not carry as well
as the globes and there is nor loss
In transportation.
If the globe varieties had been
retained and rains had not inter-
fered, good prices would have been
realized for tomatoes all season,
Mr. Wade said.
Tomatoes are coming In freely
from Mississippi and East Texas,
and there seems TO be an oversup-
ply, he stated. Inferior quality early
in the season when the rot was
developing, hurt the market. but
with the present o%versupply the
grading Is closer and prices may
strengthen.
About a cent a pound Is being
paid In East Texas for tomatoes and
a cent and a half In the Valley.
IF It should rain more we would
not hang onto the deal" Mr.. Wade
said. The crop now being harvested
is from new growth and is OF good
quality There II said TO be quite
a few tomatoes left.

CUSHMAN FLIES
 TO RACE MEETS
Not so Give up Horses for Airplane
 Combines the Two

Charles V. B. Cushman of Pom fret recently made his first solo flight at the Long Island Aviation Country Club. His red Bellanca monoplane is becoming a familiar sight over Pomfret and Putnam. While devot- ed to flying Mir. Cushman is Tot Rlv- ing up his racing stable. Rather ne is combining the two by using ms plane as a means of quick transpor- tation to and from different race courses where his stable is represent ed.
 Mir. Cushman set rumors that he is shutting down on racing as he tax es up flying at rest by saying that he rode at Bowman Park last week, Norfolk this week. and Myopia the week after, sending ten horses to Laurel and Pimlico this fall; run ming the flat horses at Miami this winter; sending LeDigard and Hac- kepthorpe to Tennessee for the Grass lands International Steeplechaser December 6. and showing the Flirt, his hunter. at Boston and New fork shows.

Fashion Notes

The desire for ornaments so notice able this season, Is gratified by the use of jewelled girdles and buckles, principally of turquoise and rhine stones.
 Afternoon gowns are assuming a new importance, the difference be- tween the run-about costume of the morning. and that worn later in the day is very marked. The hard edged dresses of crepe de chine, are super seded by soft and supple dresses, with draped bodices and longer skirts. The drapery is concentrated about the waist and hips, with wrapped and tied effects, that soften the waist and give a becoming neck line. Light weight woolens and chiffons are used for these gowns.
 In speaking of the new styles, one fashion writer classified them in three ways, the Romantic, the Victorian, and the Exciting. think the extreme style in evening dresses, must be the exciting.
 Paris is enthusiastic over tunics, the new models flare sharply below the hips, some of metal tissue are very striking when worn with black skirt.
 To be very smart, wear light jacket with a dark skirt.
 There is a new hat, called stow away" it can be folded in such a way that it can go in a hand bag, and come out as good as new.
 Draped toques have appeared in two tones, they are very attractive, if the colors are well chosen; other to. ques have a bow coquettishly placed over one ear.

Patricia Putnam's $ Own Coiumn...
Harriet Sampson
A Poet of Woodstnck

W RA " RANHtV&A
 There is apparently something in tnis little corner of Connecticut that IS conducive to poetry. The beauty of Inc a.lss, the quite countryside. the homclike little villages all unite to in- spire our poet This is shown particu- lariy m the poems of Harriet Samp- son. Born in Woodstock, she began her education at the Woodstock Acad- emy. from there she went to Dana Hall where she prepared for WeIles. ley. While she has always felt the urge to write, strange to say she never wrote verse until after her graduation from college, where she specialized on literature rather than composition.
 Among her poems, which have ap- peared in the Atlantic, the New York Herald Tribune, the New York Times and various poetry magazines, two have a special appeal, Twilight House., and Christmas Eve in Beth lehcm." which was written while spending Christmas in the Holy Land.
 Admirers of her poems are waiting for the day. when she will publish book of poems When asked re- gently when that would be, she said laughingly, You must have fifty poems for book, and so far have only forty"
 Notwithstanding her joy in writing verse, her writing is not confined to poetry; for a number of years she has contributed brilliant reviews to the New York Evening Post, in the Saturday Literary Review, and the Herald-Tribune with occasional arti- cles for the Atlantic.
 Her most recent work was a Bio yraphy of Charlotte Conant, Head Mistress of Walnut Hill Academy. This work was undertaken at the request of Charlotte Conant's sister. Miss Sampson is a member of the Poetry Society of America, and her poems are in a number Anthologies among them being three Braithnaites. one of Connecticut. and Poetry of Today.
 Although her notable success is in writing, she has artistic ability as well. While at Woods Hole this summer she studied portrait painting in oils.
 She spends her winters in New York, and takes keen pleasure in the stimulating and varied life of the city, in the theatres, and art exhibi. tions, as well as her literary work.
