Long Crop Device
Wire Cylinder Aids Tomatoes
rs Plants Yield 800 Pounds;
Upward Growth Strengthens Vines

Before the cylinders were
placed, Mr.. Parker said, the
ground was we'll prepared and
a mulch was applied around the
plants A heavy application Of
a 5-10-5 fertilizer was made.
The plants were set ( feet
apart in rows, and during the
growing season mulch was add
ed to the entire tomato area.
Mr.. Parker said that during
the early growing season the
ground around the plants was
kept moist to avoid blossom end
rot, a disease that appears when
there are wide variations in soil
moisture. Later water was used
only during dry spells, and from
midsummer on the plants re-
ceived no water.
He said light applications Of
fertilizer were made at regular
intervals from the time the first
clusters of blooms began to set
until near the end of the season.
Mr.. Parker said the tomatoes
grown by this method were red.
clean, free of growth cracks and
free from most of the rots that.
attack fruit in contact with
moist soil. %
Al the increased yield rate,
he said, about six tomato plants
should give an average size fam
lily an abundance of high quail
ity tomatoes over a period Of
! $50 days, or nearly one half year.

Scheme Of Bloom;

Before geranium time azaleas
may be used. II there is shade
and protection from strong
winds. tuberous begonias are
most effective. There is so much
variation in color and form that
any taste may be satisfied.
In a sunny, hot spot. tubs Of
naSturtiums are colorful and
very inexpensive.
In shady places. very shady,
the green leafy plants such as
the many varieties of hosta Cor
funkia) may be grown.
If a fence is a part of the
background. try putting hanging
baskets filled with fuschias, Ian
tanaS or petunias against it.
One of the incest things about
using plants in boxes, tubs or
what have you is that the man
of-the-houSe can make boxes,
large or small. to fit the particu-
lar place in which you wish to
use them.

Orgunic Phosphate
Insecticides Kill
Flies Quickly
COLLEGE PARK.

Scientists have developed q
new family Of chemicals called
organic phosphate insecticides.
They don't promise that these
chemicals are the final solution
to the fly problem, but they are
effective against flies that can
survive spraying with the older
insecticides.
Malathion. TEPP (tetraethyl-
pyrophosphate), Bayer COM
pound L13/59 and Diazinon are
some of the chemicals in this
group.
A new technique of applying
the chemicals has also been de-
veloped. The technique is to use
Sweetened baitS-Sugar or mo-
lasses is mixed with inSecticide.
Entomologists at the Univer-
sity of Maryland caution that
some of the organic phoSphates
are poisonous to warm-b -blooded
animals, and for that reason
should be used with extreme
care.
However, other chemicals in
the group are quite safe when
properly used and are even less
toxic to animals than some Of
the chemicals in the DDT-Lin-
dane-BHC family.
'Malathion bats have been
approved for use in both dairy
and cattle barns," says DR..
George S. Langford, one Of the
University of Maryland ento-
mologistS who have experimental
with the insecticides.
"Flies begin to drop and die
within 10 minutes after the bait
is applied, and usually from 80
to 80 per cent Of the flies in a
barn will be dead and on the
floor within / to 2 hours"
Under normal conditions Ma
lathion bats give satisfactory
control if used once or twice a
week through the season. The
cost usually runs between 40 and
80 cents, depending on the size
Of the barn.

sons riding the transplanter hold
the tomatoes on their laps on
