BLUEFIELD, w. va.-It begins
to look as if the new music cheer
among the rah rah boys and girls
IS "ray-y-y-y blues" judging from
the college student turnouts at
dances played by Roy Brown
recently.
Brown appeared in what were
billed as public dances in Rome,
Ca, Charleston w. Va. and here
during the past two weeks and
to the surprise of many observ-
ers a sizeable majority OF the
audience was enthusiastic cam

Because of this apparent re-

I read about a truck driver
who found a wren's nest in the
tool compartment of his truck.
Although he needed the tools
badly to get his truck running,
he didn't want to disturb the
nest so he settled the thing by
going out and buying a new
truck.

vate the conditions known as
blossom end rot. Reducing the
foliage in such a manner will
also lower the yielding ability
of the tomato plants.
BloSSom-end rot is known as a
physiological disease. That is, it
is not caused by a disease Or
ganism but by improper water
relations of the plant.
Excessive foliage removal, al
ternate dry and wet periods,
tend to increase the amount of
fruits having blossom end rot.
Blossom end rot is readily rec
ognized by the blacksh brown,
leathery rot which developes on
the bottom or blSSom end of the
tomato. When severe, it may be
found over a large area of the
fruit. Many fruits may be so
affected if the condition is Sc
we're.
Giving the plants a thorough
and regular watering will re-
duce the amount of this dis
ease. Tomatoes respond to good
watering practices. Watering
doubles and sometimes triples
the amount of fruit as COM
pared with dry land production.
Fruit size is also increased. An
overabundance of water at one
time may also cause cracking
of the fruit. Fruit cracking
may also be due to other fac
tors.
The tomato is a warm sea-
son vegetable. Fruit ripening
during the hot days are found
to be sweeter and better fla
vor and less acidy than those
ripened during cold, cloudy
weather. Poor quality and high
acid content may also be the
result of unfavorable moisture
and soil conditions. Likewise,
lighter soils frequently develop
better quality fruits than heav-
Ter soils.

seedless fruits on tomatoes

Summer Care of Tomatoes

oA
Tieing and pruning tomatoes
is a useful practice where ear
lier fruits are of vital concern.
Pruning tends to lower the to-
tai yield of fruit per plant
somewhat, but does increase
the set of early fruits. Pruning
is not a good practice on toma-
toes where moisture condi-
lions during the growing sea-
son are uncertain as it can in
crease the condition known as
blossom end rot. Also the use
of the determinate non-Stalk-
ing, or so-called Self-pruning
varieties like Bounty, Victor,
Bison, Sioux and Chatham do
not lend well to pruning. The
pruning or stalking varieties
are numerous. Better known of
these are Earliana, Bonny Best,
John Baer and Hardness.
Stout stakes about five feet
in length should be placed
near the plant when or soon
after it is set out in the gar
den. As a general rule these
plants are pruned and trained
to one stem. Pruning tomato
plants involves taking out the
young sucker or shoot growth
that develops at the base of
the main stem and leaf. It is
a task that should be done at
three to four day intervals so
that the shoots are removed
while they are still small. These
suckers may be readily pinched
out with the thumb and fore
finger or by use of a sharp
pen knife. At the same time the
plants are pruned, the main
stem should be tied loosely to
the stake. Use a soft cord or
strips of cloth for the tieing
job. This operation will have
to be repeated as the main stem
lengthens.
It is wrong to reduce the
leaf area of the main leaves.
Such practices will also aggra-
