Cultivation be- gins with the preparation of the soil for the seed bed. Frequent harrowing before the corn is planted will create a dust mulch to hold moisture and will render a fine and firm condition of the soil particles. This is essential to enable the corn roots to penetrate ook ok * kX * o+ - & {the soil and get into touch with the available plant food. readers corn_will be well along and ready for regular cultivation. When the work with the cultivator begins the cuitivator has broken up, thus of the soil. there are a few things to be borne in mind. The roots of the plants are the “foragers” which supply the plant with food and water, If they are crip- pled in any way, or can not function properly, the plant must, of neces- sity, be stunted, and, therefore, incap- able of producing a normal growth. The corn roots grow out from the plant, in a nearly horizontal direction, to a distance of about four feet. They o ofe o ode oo opo oo oo e ole oo oo oo e e +* = Crop for Canmeries. Le Roy Cady, Division of Horti- culture, Minnesota Experi- ment Station. by * bbb bbb b bk bk Professor L. C. Corbett says that success in the growing of tomatoes for canneries, as well as any other crop, requires definite knowledge and careful practice along four lines— first, selection of variety; second, thé growing of plants; third, the selec- tion and preparation of the soil; fourth, cultivation and fertilization of the land. Selecting Varieties to Grow. A great many people have the idea that any tomato is good for canning. This is a wrong idea, as there is quality in the tomato as well as anything else, and quality in canned goods is an im- portant factor. It is, therefore, neces- sary to have varieties that are of good quality for canming. Earliness of the plants doesn’t make much difference, as what is wanted is a large tomato of good qual ity. The maim pomt is to select va- rieties that produce large, smooth, solid fruits, which do not remain green or crack on the shaded side near the stem. Those which possess size as their chief characteristic are frequently of poor quality, as they are apt to possess large seed oavities and ripen unevenly. The Stome, Paragon and Livingston’s Perfection are among the varieties that are especially adapt- ed to grow for canning. Variations as to the quality of dif- ferent crops of tomatoes from farmers in the same neighborhood make a dif- ference sometimes of from twenty-five to forty cans on a ton of fruit, or from 6 to 10 per cent. In good scasons, and with good fruit, 400 cans is about the maximum that can be derived from a ton. The better the quality of the fruit, the better the quality of the canned product; consequently, a bet- ter price can be obtained for both the raw and manufactured. product. Growing the Plants. As earliness is not a requirement, the plants may be started in this section early in April, either sown in flats in a greenhouse or hotbed and transplanted to other flats; or in a coldframe and transplanted from this into the fleld. They are sometimes sown rather thinly in cold- frames, or even in the open ground, in localities where the season is early, and then transplanted directly to the field from the first to the middle of June. It is important during the grow- Ing season to keep them cultivated and growing thriftily and making stocky plants. Land. The tomato as a fleld crop is adapted to a variety of soils, though LR Any good potato land 6ught to grow tomatoes to advantage. Land that has produced a good clover sod, or soil up- on which corn was the preceding crop, is best. It should be deeply plowed in the autumn or early spring, so as to destroy insects and get ‘it in .good physical condition. 1f manure is to be added, it may be added to land that has been plowed in the fall, early in the spring, or during winter, and then plowed under very shallow in the spring.

Deep cultivation means running the cultivator shovels two and one-half or more inches below the surface of the soil. Shallow ¢ultivation, from one to two and one-half inches deep, is to be recommended. It accomplishes all that is desired and does it in the easiest and ‘most efficient manner. The roots are not injured, the dust blanket thus formed holds the mois- ture, the weeds are killed and no new supply is brought up from the middle or bottont of the furrow slice.

For sandy or droughty soils, several narrow shovels on a cultivator are preferable to a few broad ones, as it is not necessary to run so deep to stir all the surface.

In wet soils, cultivate deeper than on dry soils. be set Gut four by four and one-half | feet apart, and cultivation should com- mence at once and continue as long as it is possible to go between them. Deep cultivation should be practiced : at first, gradually growing shallower with each cultivation. The crop should begin ripening in August and continue until September or a frost. Deliveries to the cannery -are regu- lated largely by the cannery. Usually, a contract is entered into between the grower and the factory specifying con- ditions of growing and delivery. Prob- ably the fairest form of contract would call for the growing of a cer- tain number of acres rather than the |} delivery of a certain number of toms, as it is impossible for the farmer to anticipate the season. Provisions are frequently put in the conmtract to cov- er the date of the beginning of the delivery. A number of diseases affect the to- mato, among them, leaf-spot, leaf- mould and a great many others. They are hard to keep in check by spraying or other methods. Probably thorough care in the handling of the plants, to keep them thrifty and under the best growing conditions, is the best pre- ventative of disease. Farmers’ Bulletin 220, from which a good deal of this article has been taken, deals with tomato growing, and will be found interesting reading for anyone growing tomatoes.
