Tomato Seed Of
Big Importance
That From Wilt-Resistant
Plants Should Be Saved
for Next Year.

Home gardeners who are producing
wilt-resistant tomatoes will find that
the seed from these plants are as good
If not better than the seed obtained
from outside sources, according to G..
w., FAINT, extension plant pathOlOgist
at the North Carolina State college.
"This is especially true if the grower
will select only the heaviest bearing
and most resistant plants from which
to get his seed for next years plant.
ing" he states.
Equipment Needed.
Where only small amount of seed
is to be saved, no apparatus except a
small water-tight vessel is needed.
The ripe tomatoes are placed in the
vessel and thoroughly crushed. Suffi-
cient water is added to cover the to-
matoes and they are left over night
to ferment. The next day the vessel
is filled with water and the mass care
fully stirred. BY adding more water
slowly, the skins, cores and pulp will
float off and the seed sink to the bot
tom. The water is then drained off
and the seed collected.
Mr.. FAINT states that seed secured
from neighbor who is growing the
wilt-resistant variety will, in most
cases, give better results than seed
bought outside, especially of the direc-
tions for saving the seed have been
followed.
WiIt-Resistant Varieties.
There are several varieties of wilt,
resistant tomatoes, chief among which
are the Mariana, Norduke. Marvel, and
Norton. Growers who have any of
these varieties planted are safe in saw
ing the seed but the Norton and Mar
vel are the two that are recommended
by Mr.. FAINT. In tests conducted
throughout the state the Norton has
shown a greater resistance and also
produces large yield of high quality
fruit. Where growers are troubled
with wilt, seed from the varieties
named should be secured for next
years planting.

Famous Danish Castle

Notwithstanding it's rather remote
position on the Island of Jutland in
Denmark, on the banks of the Linn
ford, Castle Spottr~p has lured many
visitors to it's walls of recent years.
Although it's age and builders have
been forgotten, it has been there for
many centuries, and is one of the best
double-moated castles of Europe. Its
dividing bulwark of earth on the east
ern side reaches almost to the caves
of the structure. and, with it's grass
clad ramparts, adds immensely to the
impression one receives of it's ancient
formidable strength. 1t is only re-
stored in part and the visitor can
easily visualize it's ancient extent and
form.

bulwark of fierce loving. Jealous. pan
ther-like watchfulnesS, that girl was
ROsalinda.
There was not recess of the be-
ing of this girl that Estele did not
feel herself capable of understanding.
AS Rosalinda sometimes admitted to
her mother, 1t was as IL the older
woman sensed. almost before the girl
herself, the nature Of her ambitions,
secret desires. yearnings.
And the secret desires Of Rosa
linda's were not just those of the av.
erage girl becoming aware of her love
illness.
RoSalinda wanted to sing. She
wanted TO cultivate a voice that was
already showing a fluty resonant quail
ity. That was why Estelle so pas
sionately desired to save her from
the wear and tear of performing in
the cabaretS. That was why. without
the slightest sense of remuneration,
EStelle was ready TO fold away the
days of her most garish kind of sue
ton of her work behind a cashiers
counter.
Estelle and her daughter were
boarding for the day when RoSalinda
might go abroad to prepare her voice
for opera.
One night in the restaurant, man
well beyond fifty, big, irresistible as a
personality, known the country over
as millionaire sportsman and art
connoiSseur, fastened what were
frankly delighted eyes on Rosalinda.
For the first time in her life, swept
by something that was stronger than
she was, she arranged rendezvous
that did not include Estelle.
For the first time in her life, Rosa
linda was impelled to agree to see a
man without the presence of a third
party-her mother.
1t was not unnatural in the face of
things, in fact it would have been
more unnatural if it had not happened
so, that the youthful and beauteous
Rosalinda should finally find herself
climaxes sure to befall creature of
her caliber.
Curious, but across the room, within
her lair, Estelle Winters knew every
thing that was happening, just as con-
cisely as if she were present there
beside the table of the well-known
figure of the sportsman-art connois-
seur, Hiram Bridges.
From her lair, Estelle with her
hand to her throat, saw this happen
ing; with her eyes dilated saw this
happening. What is more, she saw
happening across the sweet face of
Rosalinda, the first faint fushes of
awakening.
When Hiram Bridges left the res
taurant that night, elated with his
conquest of type that was alluring
to him, there confronted him in the
corridor the pale, washed-Out figure
of woman who caused him to stare.
"Yes, Hiram, it's who you think it
is" said Estelle, little tiredly, none
of the melodrama of the moment In
her manner or her voice.
"Why, it's twenty years, since"
he said stupidity.
One of those melOdramatic Incl
dents that can seem to come out of a
clear sky was happening in that res
taurant.
"Twenty-one years." she corrected,
her glance sliding way toward the re-
mote figure of Rosalinda. THAT
makes her twenty"
'Who twenty?"
''The girl you are meeting later
your daughter" said Estelle.
Rosalinda radiant, more beautiful
than ever in her innocence, is study
ing for grand opera in Italy.
An internationally known sportsman
and art cOnnoisseur, who has never
seen her since that night in the res
taurant, is educating her.

FARM MITES

The most feeding value will be OBJ
tanned this year by putting the corn
crop in the silo.
Cows need from three to four
pounds of water for each pound of
milk they give.
Corn is generally considered an i'm
portant ingredient of egg-laying ra
tons.
Wool should be stored In a clean,
dry place until it is sold. 1t should
never be stored in a basement.
Spring calves or calves born in late
winter should be kept in the barn dur
ing the summer if they are to make
proper growth.
Real cooperation is needed If for

to fight fire is before it starts.
Magnesium arsenate is considered

CLAIMS TOMB OF JESUS FOUND.

Recently a lecturer from the Hebrew University or Jerusalem addressing a Berlin audience, declared that a tomb had been discovered at Jerusalem which bore the Aramaic inscription, Joshua Bar Jehoseph" meaning Jesus Son of Joseph" The speaker however, was careful not to offer his own opinion that the tomb that of Christ.
 Little is known accurately concerning the tomb of Jesus Early Christian records make little men, tion of it and the Bible itself pays scan attention to it. The only definite description is found n the Gospel according to St. John Matthew, Mark and Luke content themselves with referring to the tomb without giving its location and pass directly on to the Resurrection
 St. John fixes the location near the hill of Gogotha scene of the Crucifixation. Now in the place where He WAS crucfed" the text says there a garden, and in the garden a new sepulcher where never yet was laid. There they laid Jesus therefore, because of the Jews preparation day; for the sepulcher was nigh at hand" BF
 However since the fourth century after Christ the accepted location of the tomb is the spot around which the Church of the Holy Sepulcher was built by Constantine First Christian Emperor of Rome The church erected the result of dream and a revelation made to his mother, Helen, later canonized by the church The location of this site has aroused much skepticsm in the minds of schol- ars, but the place is held in great veneraton by all the sects of Christianity and the church IS used by them under a mandate first established by the Turkish Government and later continued by Great Britain when it took the mandate of the Holy Land

 If had tried to irrigate the land with the old-fashioned well pump, to make up last sum- mer's water deficiency, he would have been forced with the problem of providing about 7a gallons per minute throughout the season for each man, woman, and child in the United States. Each citizen would have had to import 22 helpers from abroad and keep them working the pump handles in 8-hour shifts throughout the season. each pump ing gallon minute to give the land normal water supply. To express this understand ngly it is pointed out that the deficiency in rain fall in the Ohio Valley last summer represented, on the average, a water shortage of more than 5oOOO tons for each 1o0-acre farm, 600 tons per day for the entire season.
 Prof. c. F. Marvin Chief of the Weather Bureau, says that insignificant tries less prac- tical devices than even the hand pump to simulate the colossal processes of nature when he advocates artificial means for producing precipitation to break drought He thinks the would-be rainmaker may well ponder the enormity of forces that can give withhold some 12oOoo oOoo 100000 gallons of water in a summer before attempting to compensate for natures shortcomings

LUDWIG PORTRAITS WILSON.

Woodrow Wilson's greatest struggle-his fight to write his famous IA points into the Versailles Treaty-and Wilson, himself, written into living drama by Emil Ludwig famous German biographer whose depctations of Napoleon, Bismarck and the former German Emperor have won deserved world wide fame. The play is entitled Versailles" and its principal character is the American President who gave his life for ideal-the League of Ma tions. It his labors at the Versailles parleys and later, his fight at home in futile effort to bring the United States into the League that under mined his health and undoubtedly shortened his life by years.
 The theme of the drama is Wilson's fight for his ideals at the Versailles conferences conflict between the ideals of his famous fourteen points and the provisions of the treaties contracted among the Allies. President Wilson is presented a tragic figure caught in the meshes of treaties of which he ignorant until the United States entered the war, and struggling with only incom- plete success against the dipomatsts of the Euro pean powers as well as against opposition at home.
 The three leading figures of the conference Wilson Cemenceau and Lloyd George-are DOT trayed as pushed by conflicting demands in their own countries while each of the twenty-six allies is seeking its own interest. The play opens as

The State is the closely divided Commonwealth of Mary land, and the Governor is Albert O.

Ritchie procaiming, on broader lines, the doctrine they have all adopted For ten years he has been insisting that the problem is wide of the boundaries of this one subject and has declined to permit himself to be classified simply Wet He had every right yesterday to restate what he modestly calls "the Maryland theory of govern ment."
 The Governor hopes that his long struggle for the principles which originally underlay our Gov ernment is coming to fulfillment. He stated them simply:
