Some grow tall and are the so-called indeterminate or climbing ones like the Marglobe others have short internodes and never grow over a foot or two in height. They are called dwarfs. The third kind ends its growth in a clus ter of fruit and are called deter minates. This is the type of tomato that as a rule ripens the bulk of its fruit much earlier than the ordinary varieties. The Early Chatham and New Hampshire Victor are ex amples of this type. Some tomatoes are tiny like the Tiny Tim, others grow over one pound in size like the Ponderosa. Some are red in col or like the Bonny Best, others are pink like the Globe, still others are yellow like the Golden Queen, or orange like the Orange King. Orange tomatoes are usually high er in vitamin content and sweeter in flavor than the red tomatoes, but the market prefers red to yellow.

Larger Volume of Radios Seen In 1946 By Snyder x . . Radio production is expected to reach pre-volume this year and exceed the 1939 rate by summer according to a forecast by John W. Snyder director of War Mobiliza tion and Reconversion. “Refrigerators,, radios, washing machines, and other durables are expected to begin flowing in pre war volume during 1946,” he said. Preparations for early resumption of large scale output have been completed, and the rate of output is going up. But the attainment of production goals depends largely on how soon labor, materials, and components will be available in the neccessary volume. Sen. Hoey Says Tobacco Ceilings will be removed X Harry W. Love, of Asheville, di rector of the tobacco division of the Farmers Federation coopera, tive, said yesterday that present indications in the burloy tobacco belt are that the prospective re moval of price ceilings on Burley tobacco would tend to increase the average price the fanner receives. He says there seems to be divided opinion, however, as to whether the removal of such seiling prices in the bright belt would increase the average price the farmer receives for his tobacco. . Senator Clyde R. Hoey has been assured by Clinton Anderson, sec retary of agriculture, and Paul Por ter, Office of Price Administration chief, that ceiling prices on tobac co will be ended, it was learned Saturday from the Washington bu reau of The Citizens Times. Mr. Love said that while are interested in higher average prices for the burley product, the interest of the farmer is growing better quality tobacco, adding that under the ceiling price program farmers have been penalized on better grades of burley tobacco. He said that it is expected that floor or guarantee prices will be boosted slightly this year.
