SONS drop of instead Of forming
fruit.
If good tomato plants are avail
able for transplanting from dealers,
the small gardener should purchase
them rather than grow the few
needed In the average small gar
den. They are not difficult to pro-
duce, however.
Good plants about eight inches
tall that are well grown are
desirable for transplanting.
Transplanting should not take
place before the frost-free date
in your community.
If barnyard manure is applied to
the garden where tomatoes are to
be grown, it should be supplemented
with four to five pounds of super
phosphate for each 100 pounds of
manure. Twice that amount should
be added to sheep or poultry ma
nure. It is generally unwise to work
manure into the holes into which
tomato plants are to be set, but
handful of commercial fertilizer
should be well mixed with the equiv
alent of a bucketful of soil where
each plant is to be set.
In most gardens it is desirable to
prune the plants to a single stem
or to two stems and tie them to
stakes. The stake should be about
eight feet long, driven into the soil
about two feet and at least liz inches
in diameter. AS the plant develops,
side shoots or branches appear at
the points where the large leaves
are joined to the main stem. These
shoots are easily broken out, thus re-
stricting the plant to single stem.
When growth is rapid it is neces-
sary to go over the plants every two
or three days to remove the new
side-shoots as they arise. Care must
be taken that the growing tip of the
main stem is not inadvertently
pinched out.

A paper collar around young to-
mato plant protects it from cut
worms.
In stalking up the plants, strips of
rag are best, but soft Irvine may be
used. The string must be tied firmly
about the stake first, so that it will
not slip, and then passed loosely
around the stem, not far below a
large leaf, and then tied again.
Do not draw the stem too tightly
against the stake.
In setting out tomato plants it will
be helpful if heavy paper or light
cardboard collar be placed around
the stem to protect it from cut
worms. The bottom Of the collar
should extend about an inch below
the surface of the soil. A paper clip
is handy to hold the collar together.
An old post card viii do nicely.

Ways to Grow
Tomato Plants

Growing of tomatoes calls for as.
uniform moisture content in the
ground as possible. A long dry spell
or wide variations in soil moisture
content bring about damage by
blossom-end rot. You will note a
black or brown spot on the blossom
end of the fruit, and staked and
pruned plants seem to be more gen
orally affected by this rot. On the
other hand, plants growing naturally
on the ground usually show more
rots of other kinds, caused by the
fruits lying on or too near the soil.
A light mulch Of dried lawn clip
pings, leaves or similar materials
beneath plants grown without sup
ports will help keep the fruit off the
soil and help avoid some Of the loss
due to fruit rot.
Tomato plants for the garden may
be started indoors in quart berry
boxes, paper drinking cups, paper
bands or in regular clay fiowerpots.
The containers are filed with sift-
ed soil and placed in the hotbed, or
If In the house they are placed in a
shallow box. A small amount OF
seed is sown in each container, and
after the plants are well under way
they are transferred to the garden.
the container usually removed from
about the roots of the plants when
set in the planting plot or hole.
Care should be taken so as not to
disturb the roots Of the young plants.

Housing Project to
Attract the Birds

IF YOU would attract birds, re-
I member that they are discrim-

house with nest space six inches
deep below an entrance an inch
and a half in diameter, and they
prefer a sunny location five to
ten feet high. Robins want roof
but no front on their house; a high
location and little shade, please.

HENRY BAILING OUT

Henry Ford Is leaping out of the
airplane after the war, with or with
out q parachute.
He wants no part Of winged Mer-
curry In the postwar world, and will
turn him In for good old Lizzie.
-
The great willow Run factory
that IL turning one bomber out ev-
cry hour win get back to earth and
spawn hivvers at the first oppor-
tunity, Henry announces. He expects
to sell q million cars q year, and he
sees longer lines in front Of the Ford
salesrooms than there are In front
Of "OklahOma!"
AS Hank sees It, the people are
craving to leap from battles to rat
ties. They are yearning for the time
when the word objective" will
again mean hotdog stand at the
seaside, when a spearhead win be
just a point In traffic jam, and
when all communicates will read:
I'VE made broad advances on all
approaches to the bathing beach this
morning"
Ford has been miracle man in
the bomber business, but his heart
belongs to Lizzie.
His one desire is to get back to a,
vehicle that drops nothing bigger
than a nut, ruins nothing but an
enemy fender and has but one tar
get: life, liberty and the pursuit of
detours.
Hen was never happy watching
those bombers roll off his production
lines. They lacked the family touch,
the defective headlight and the op-
tional upholstery. He was detected
figure as he looked at Ford prod
uct which allowed for no back-seat
driving, no loose door handles and
no complaints about the windshield
wiper.
henry pioneered the auto in order
to give man more pleasure, wider
travel and an opportunity for nerv-
GUS breakdowns over a greater
expanse of territory. He never
thought any vehicle of his would
destroy cities and lick master
races.
He pines for the end Of the war
and the return of the day when the
question of the hour will be ''has
mother packed the lunch for the
trip to Lake Polliwog?" and not
whats the target for tonight?"
-
And when the only briefng will
be keep her down to As an hour"
His idea of a great picture is that
of John Smith, Mrs. Smith, the
Smith kids and Rover all jammed
into the touring car, their faces
agleam, their hearts high, with no
hatred for anybody except motor
cycle cop, and no desire to kill
anybody except the inventor of the
red light.
We're with you, Hank. Down with
the bombers! Long live Lizziel
