NORDUKE, NEW VARIETY WiLT-RESlSTANT TOMATOES t In the course of work on the selec tion of tomatoes that will resist the wilt disease, which causes a large annual loss in the tomato-canning states, the United States Department of Agriculture has developed a vari ety called N&rduke, similar to Stone but highly resistant to wilt. Four oth er wilt-resistant varieties have al ready beep produced, known as the ^Marvel, which is a medium early to mato selected from Merveille des Marches, bearing a heavy crop of smooth red fruit; the Norton, select ed from Stone, producing a heavy vield of larere, smooth, solid red fruit, which ripens slowly, and therefore ships well; and Columbia and Arling ton, medium late varieties, selected from Greater Baltimore. The Marvel is an excellent variety for forcing, for medium early truck ing and for home gardening. The Columbia, like the Arlington, which has been temporarily withdrawn for purification, because of mixtures found in the seed in 1920, is better for canning than for the table, be cause of its somewhat flat shape, which does not permit slicing as suc cessfully as some of the rounded to matoes. The Norton and the newer variety, the Norduke, are late toma toes, excellent for cannfng, for home gardening, and late trucking. The Norduke shows the highest resistance to wilt of any tomato, and also some resistance to the leaf-spot disease. Wilt-resistance strains of'tomatoes .t 1 j i ? ,Tr> are ueveiopeu uy beicuung num a va riety which possesses moderate re sistance, which show individual high er resistance. This resistance can be combined with other desirable qual; cies in other varieties by crossing. Seeds from resistant strains have been distributed through State exper iment stations to canners and others for testing, and some of the varieties are now being carried in the cata logue lists of seed houses. JAPANESE NO LONGER SEEK FORTUNES IN S. A. Tokio, Feb. 28.?Japanese emi grants have shown a decided disin clination to seek their fortunes in South America in the past two years despite the "overcrowding" in Japan and offers of bonusses. The Brazilian government pays 15 pounds to each Japane.e emi grant but nei'A.tbeles? Japanese la bor contractors have found it im possible to fulfill their contracts with Brazilian coffee planters to furnish 5,000 Japanese laborers each year. ? [Last year the number or Japa-i nese emigrants to Brazil estimated at 900. These figures are given by an official of the commercial bureau attached to the foreign office. The reason assigned for the dis inclination to transmigrate to South America is the improved status of the labor market at home. Officials of the bureau predict that tfoe coming year -will see a greater exodu9 from Japan than for some years past. The total Japanese population in South America in 1920 is estimated by Japanese authorities at about 40,000 of whom 31,000 are in Bra zil, 6,000 in Peru, 2,000 in Argen tina, 800 in Bolivia and 400 in Chile. Emigration is being encouraged by the Japanese government, says Mr. Akamatsu, chief of the com mercial bureau. Railway fares to ports of embarkation are reduced and special steamship rates offered. Last year the government ad vanced 50,000 pounds to one- com pany to promote emigration by; means of moving pictures showing j conditions abroad, chieflv in South! America Comparative statistics show that Japan proper is just about as thickly populated as Eng land, Japan has 376 persons to the square mile against England's 372, Holland's 539 and Belgium's 664.

There was an old gTeezer And he had a lot of sense, He started up a business On a dollar eighty cents. v The dollar for stock And the eighty for an ad. Brought him three lovely dollars, In a day, by dad. Well, he bought more goods And a little more space, And be played that system With a smile oil hi6 face. The customers flocked To his two-by-four And soon he had to hustle For a regular store. Up on the square , Where the people pass ' He gobbled up a corner That was all plate glass. * He fixed up the windows With the best that he had, And told them all about it In a half-page ad. He soon had 'em coming And he never, never quit, And he wouldn't cut down On his ads, one jit. And he's kept things humping In the town ever since, And everybody calls him The Merchant Prince. Some say it's luck But that's all bunk? Why, he was doing business When jtimes were punk. People have to purchase And the greezer was wise? For he knew the way to get 'em Was to ADVERTISE. ?Exchange. TREES I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prei Agadnst the earth's sweet flowin breast. A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy awns to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, but only Uod caji make a tree. i?Joyce Kilmer. FIGURE IT YOURSELF Chance To Find Sum Stuart Ca Not Collect Sail Jose, Cal., March 7.?Henr B.

Zion, 111., Feb. 2.?Wilbur Glejin Volivia, successor to John Alexander Dowie as overseer of Zion and head of the Christian Apostolic Church, has completed the fixing of dimen sions of his flat world, existence of which is now taught in the Zion schools. According to Mr. Voliva's latest pronouncement, the sky is a vast [ dome of solid material, from which [ - 1 i 1 f tne sun, moon ana stars are nung j like chandeliers from a ceiling. The edges of the dome, he ex- j plained to the congregation at Shi- [ loh Tabernacle, rest on the wall of i ice which surrounds the flat world to keep foolhardy mariners from tumbling over the edge into ob livion. "That is the plain teaching I of the whole Word of God," Mr. Voliva said. ' At the time he announced the world was a flat plane surrounded \y ice, Mr. VoKva also fixed the forty miles in diameter, and located sun as being a small body, about 3,000 miles from the earth.
