It j , Tomato Vines In Garden Should Be Pruned Well One of the usual Inquiries at this time of the year is, "What is the best method of pruning and stak ing tomatoes?" The best way to answer this question is to describe the practice followed by a success ful vegetable gardner located in the Western Piedmont area of this state. A 6 to 8 foot stake is driven about two feet into the ground at each plant and when the tomato plant is 8 to 10 inches tall, it is pruned to one stem. From then on, no additional pruning or the re moval of "suckers" Is done. The "suckers" are side branches arising at the point where the large leaves are joined to the main stem. The tomato plant with its suckers are tied securely at intervals to the stake in order to support the weight of the vine and its fruit. One of the best ways to make a tie is first loop the string around the stake and then cross it between the plant and the stake before making the tie. This will prevent the plant from being drawn directly against the stake with danger of injury as well as preventing the string from slipping down the stake. Many home gardeners, however, like to practice more pruning than described above. The tomato plant is pruned to one or two stems, preferably one stem, which is tied to a stake and all "suckers" as they develop are pinched out. The to mato plant is topped when four or five clusters of fruit have set. This seems to check the energy of the plant toward early maturity of the fruit. Those who have followed this practice of pruning and train ing of tomato plants claim larger ft RfiST SUM or A yy use 666 TABLETS. SALVE. NOSE DROPS jr k w I fruits are produced which are ready to sarvest several days earlier than the unpruned plants. It may be advisable to practice both methods of pruning and train ing. A few plants may be pruned as practiced by the home gardener in order to secure early fruit with the remaining plants left to be partially pruned as practiced by the vegetable gardener in order to have a large quantity for canning purposes. Tomato plants grown without much pruning give a larger total yield of fruit than severely prun ed plants. Unpruned plants have also a larger root system and are able to reach out and obtain more soil moisture. They will need more fertilizer than severely pruned plants since they have a larger capacity for taking up and utilizing the soil nutrients. Tomato plants, lightly pruned, have also a larger amount of foliage which provides more shade for the fruit, thereby resulting in less exposure of the fruit to high temperature that in duces scald, blossom end rot, and blotchy ripening in addition to pro tecting the fruit from rain and severe cracking. Don't forget to plant salsify (oyster plant) and parsnips for use this fall and winter. They can be left in the ground all winter. They are not damaged by freezing weather. In fact, a light freeze seems to improve their flavor. Mammouth Landwich Island is a good variety of salsify. One ounce will plant 100 feet of row and. after the seedlings have come up, they are thinned two inches apart. Hollow Crown and Ideal are good varieties of parsnips and one-half ounce of seed will be enough for 100 feet of row. The seedlings should be thinned to stand three inches apart in the row. These vegetables require a loose fertile deep soil. The seeds are slow in germinating and should not be covered deeper than one-fourth inch of loose soil and then the row covered with leaf mold, straw chaff, pine needles, or other fine material to prevent the soil from becoming crusted.

"On Monday of last week, we listened in to a conversation be tween two real old timers. One of them was Josephus Dan iels, editor of- The News And Ob server, who celebrated his 82nd birthday on May 18. The other was W. C. Allen of Waynesville, for many years active in school work throughout North Carolina. Mr. Allen is 84 years old. The meeting of the two gentle men took place in the News and Observer offices. Mr. Daniels was preparing editorial copy for the paper. Mr. Allen recently complet ed a book on the history of North Carolina and is now engaged in placing it in the schools. During the last year or so he has visited 83 of the 100 counties of the State. "Both men are in excellent health. Neither of them use eye glasses despite the fact that they have been doing desk work all their lives. "And both of them have retained their keen sense of humor, which may be one outstanding reason why they have been able to carry on in such wonderful fashion." Editor's Note: Mr. Allen admits that he may be an "Old Timer" according to the calendar, but when it comes to running a race with some of the youngsters he is still in the ring. He thinks too much of Mr. Goerch to resent this well meant remark and thanks him for putting him in such distinguished company. - Ftpti-CoU Compang.
