Wash well and cut away any green spots or weather cracks. Wehtner cracks are those spirts that form around the stem ends when hot sunshine follows a hard rain. Such tomatoes are unfit for canning or juice unless used immediately after picking.

It is the rubber, not the cote, that counts. True, you may be a bit startled when you open your first package of the war models.

Records kept by cartful farmers hi Bertie, Chowan, Hertford and Tyrrell counties last year showed that peanut growers produced an average of 130.17 more peanuts per acre by dusting the foliage at a cost of only $3.10 per acre, not considering the value of the increased yields of hay, reports Howard R Garriss, Extension Plant Pathologist at N. G. State College. In 1941 careful records of increased hay yields were kept and it was found that the average was 647 extra pounds of hay per acre due to dusting. It has been found that dusting pear nuts with 326-mesh sulphur, which can be found an the market under several trade names, win h^Ip to cen^ trol the leafspofc diseases which cause premature shedding of the leaves of the plant, with an accotnpanyteg reduction in yieid both of peanuts and of hay. M In unusually moist ^peasons, the plant disease specialist recommends the use of about 8 to 6 precent copper in the sulphur dust ta> obtain better control. rs. ^ \ It is suggested that dusting be done uariy in the morning or late in the afternoon. Many growers-Hie to dust on moonlight nights, jg Dusting should begin, fording to Garriss, about 60 to «5 days after planting, with «n application of about 15 to 20 pounds per acre.

Man; growers kwe a large portion nf their profits each season by not keeping their tobacco suckered as closely as it should be, with tenses both in weight and in quality. *— beat is needed bat in the oolasr areas a lantern, a chick brooder lt»K, or light bulbs can be used on cold nights.
