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has been temporarily withdrawn for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.

HE KNEW HOW.
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.

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.

VOLIVA HOLDS WORLD IS FLAT
Says Sun, Moon and Stars Hang
From Ceiling of Sky.
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.
Cold and Lonely High-Up
A warning against excessive am
j bition was sounded by Premier
I Lloyd George Monday in a speech to
j a group of children who called up
! on him at his vacation retreat.
After pointing out that '"the
j mountain of fame has great respon
j sibility and is altogether an unenvi
able spot," the premier added:
| "The higher you climb the colder
! and lonelier it becomes. You are ox
! posed to every attack of the ele
ments. Also, it is necessary to deny
! yourself the comforts of peaceful
; home life."
