TOMATO GROWERS
HAVE BIG MEETING
Different Phases of Tomato
Culture Discussed by Mer
Experienced in the Work
A large and enthusiastic
meeting of farmers was held
at the Allen hall last Saturday
and those present were enter
tained for three hours byfoui
experts on tomato raising and
the culture of other cropsthal
are grown for the canning fac
tory.
L. S. Markham from the
State Department of Agricul
ture, opened the speakingwitl
some appropriate humoous re
marks, after which he made i
very interesting talk on diver
sification of crops and the ben
fits to be derived therefrom
He warned the farmers againsi
the risk of only depending up
on one crop. He urged then'
to plant tomatoes and sweel
potatoes in a small acreage
and advised them that by di
versification they had more
chances to succeed. Mr
Markham is an experienced
agriculturist and the farmers
were very much interested ii
this talk.
Prof. Wickes from the state
University in charge of the
Horticultural Department, was
present an delivered an able
address on the culture and
handling of tomatoes. His
years of experience in the dif
ferent experimental stations ir
different parts of the United
States has thoroughly equip
ped him for he work. He has
a fund of very valuable infor
mation as to the profits anc
advantages of tomato culture
and canning plants in a com
munity H e emphasized the
importance of having thequal
itv in all products offered or
the market in order to estab
lish a repuation and be able
to have a ready market foi
ev e ry th i n g pro d u c e el.
Prof. Knox of the state Uni
versity made an interesting
talk on the growing of plants
'land getting them ready for
1 setting out in the early spring.
His advice in preparing the
i hot beds and resetting the
plants in cold frames prior
to setting them out in he
fields was very ineresting and
instructive. Prof. Knox is a
young man but has grown
old in the handling of plants,
as he has spent his life from
. infancy in the handling of
, plants for setting out in the
growing of early vegetables
and for canning plants.
Prof. Howitt. from the state
University made a very inter
esting talk on the prevention
of disease among tomatoes,
and the remedy for the differ
things that the tomato is heir
to in different localities. He
advised the spraying of the
plants in the early spring and
advised against plantingtoma
toes on the same ground year
after year. He said you could
no more plant^tomatoes on the
samp around Year after vear
than you could any other crop
and make a successful yield. .
After the meeting was over
the local Canning Company
contracted for several acret
; of tomatoes.
Everybody seems greatly en
thused over the outlook of the
canning business and material
for the plant and the machin
ery has been ordered. B.v the
midlie of April the plant will
be installed with all the ma
chinery, ready for business,
with a capacity of 15,000 cans
per day.
The Canning Company has
contracted for the sanitary
cans and will install a double
seamer or capping machine.
The people of our town are
greatly elated over the prog
I ress of the new enterprise and
feel hat the laboring people
and the business interests will
share alike in its earnings and
the outside money that an en
terprise of his kind will brin^i
. to us.
