Producing Quality
Tomatoes At Home
By I. A. McLAIN
The home gardeners of Haywood
county during normal seasons, pro
duce good quality vegetables- How
ever, in abnormal summers many
gardeners fii:J many of ,their vege
tables of such low quality that the
producer becomes discouraged.
Last season was a good example
of this with tomatoes. There was
so much rain before the ripening
period, that the vines and fruit be
came so badly blighted that most
of the tomatoes rotted and fell off
the vines. Most of the gardeners
of the county experienced a com
plete failure with tomatoes last
summer. Others had one of the
best crops.
The tomatoes in my garden last
year were the finest I believe I
have ever grown. Many who saw
them marveled and asked about the
secret. Bi cause I do especially
like tomatoes and because they re
uire a little extra care, I am writ
tinjthis article as one of the se
ries on gardening written by mem
bers of the Agricultural Worker's
Council of Haywood county.
I remember what W. L. Fitz
gerald of Clyde, said to me several
years ago about growing tomatoes.
He stated that it was impossible
to produce No. 1 tomatoes and let
them crawl around on the ground.
I certainly believe this. For years
now, my tomatoes have been prun
ed and staked.
I begin with good healthy plants
of good varieties. I buy plants
for my early tomatoes and raise
most of the plants for the main
crop and late tomatoes. For early
setting (I set mine last Saturday),
I try to get potted plants. They
cost a little more but they are
worth the difference. I save seed
for the ones I start from seed. I
treat the seed with Semesan before
planting.
As a rule, one should examine
plants before purchasing to see if
there are diseased spots on the
stems. Many plants already have
the blight before they are trans
planted. I like to dip the plant
in a 4-4-50 Bordeaux mixture be
fore setting. Then every ten days
or two weeks throughout the sum
mer spray the leaves and stems
with this mixture. This will keep
down blight and other diseases,
even during a wet season like the
one we experienced last hummer.
Start pruning and staking the
tomatoes before they get too large.
I put up my staked about four
inches from the plant as soon as
the first blooms appear. Use five
or six foot stakes and drive them
about a foot in the ground or set
them in groups of four so as to
just below the first bloom, which
will make one oi the two good
stems; all others are pruned off as
they appear. The stems are topped
as soon as they reach the top of
the stakes. Tie the stems to the
stake about every ten days or two
weeks.
As the son preparation and fer
tilization, I will say nothing more
than to follow the garden plan or
advice given in preceeding articles.
My favorite varieties are Marglobe
and Rutgers for red varieties and
Burpee's Golden Jubilee for the
yellow. I do like orange colored
tomatoes, especially when it comes
to tomato juice. And this juice,
like the tomatoes and soup mix
ture, has come in mighty handy,
both at home and what was given
and sold to the Bethel school lunch

He's doing his part . . .We must do our part!
For him the terrifying grand
climax of the war is at hand.
The supreme military risk
bloody, costly in American lives.
Our boys know this. They don't
have to read the heart-rending
headlines or casualty lists to
know what is expected of them.
They are in it.
But they are not flinching . . . not
holding back.
They will see the grim venture
through to the bitter, victorious
end.
And if, for your boy, or some boy
you know, the price of Victory is
death, you can be absolutely cer
tain that he did his part courage
ously ... for the cause of Freedom.
For us, too, the terrifying grand
climax of the war is at hand.
This supreme, desperate call for
American dollars 16 billions oi
them is to enabLe our fighting

bloody -assault to a successful
conclusion and Victory.

bor's boy millions of them are
counting on you. Just as desper
ately as you are counting on them
in this fateful hour.

Dig down, Americadig down deep ! While there is still time.
This is America's Zero Hour Civilization's Zero Hour!
