The suckers are pulled off this sucker as issue ot ibe Waynesville Mountain eer concerning his method of pro ducing tomatoes. I noted that he practices suckering, a practice which I, too, have found to be well worth, while.. . I -. also . like the practice of staking tomatoes Which improves the quality and appearance of the fruit This keeps them up off the ground and prevents so much blistering and scald-I ing which so often occurs when the vines are left on the ground. Soon after the tomatoes are" set; in their permanent places theyshould be staked by driving a stake about five feet long near them. As soon as it can be done after staking them they! are tied to the stakes. This should be, done before the plants fall over on the ground or crooked plants will be formed thus making it hard to tie them to the stakes successfully. Af ter this they should be suckered and tied as often as necessary, which during good growing weather is every week. If allowed to go longer than this the plants will become crooked and hard to tie. A soft string should be used with the same loop reaching around both stake and plant. i The sucker just under the first! well as the rest of the plant. The tying and suckereing are continued until the vines reach the top of the sticks In producing commercial to matoes it is often advisable to top the plants when they reach the top of the sticks. Another practice in growing toma toes I have found to be well worth wntie is mulching. 1 his conserves moisture and prevents the growth of weeds and grass and results m & better yield of a better grade of to matoes. It also extends to the har vesting period. After the tomatoes, have been worked several time mukh with straw putting it in between the rows and between the plants in the row. It is better to use partially rot ted straw if it can be secured. If this is not available ure any straw at hand. It should be from two to six inches deep and should be evenly spread over the ground. I believe any one producing toma toes will find it to their interest to stake sucker, and mulch plants. : W. L.
