FOR FALL TOMATOES Clemson College, June.?Many gardeners and farmers who wish to grow tomatoes for market on a small scale are asking just now for information on growing fall tomatoes, says Prof. C. C. Newman, horticul turist, who makes the following sug gestions. It is well to make two plantings of seed?one the first week in June' and another about two weeks later,! using a standard variety such as the Stone. Thin out the plants so that they will become stocky by the time they are transplanted in late July. It is advisable to have plants that are at least 6 inches tall, as the large plants stand transplanting in mid-summer very much better than the small ones. Plants 6 or 8 inches tall should be set three-fourths of their length in the soil. Plant tomatoes in. an open furrow rather than on a bed; fertilize them liberally with well decomposed stable manure, applied in the drill, and a complete fertilizer analyzihg about 8 percent phosphoric acid, _ percent nitrogen, and 4 percent potash at the rate of 1,000 pounds per acre. The rows should be four feet apart and plants set 3 feet apart in the row. In transplanting the tomatoes use a liberal quantity of water around the roots of the plants, and take care that dry soil is drawn about each plant after it has been watered, to prevent the soil from baking a round the plant.

Clemson College, June 20.?Many carloads of watermelons are lost an nually by South Car olina melon grow ers through stem-end rot developed while the melons are in transit to market which could be saved with slight trouble and expense by a sim ple treatment of the stems with Bor deaux paste at the time of loading in the cars. To help melon growers save this big loss during the shipping sea son now at hand, the Extension Ser vice has issued intormauon ^ara ino. 21, "Prevention of Stem-End Rot of Watermelons," which may be had free upon request from the Extension Service, Clemson College, S. C., or from the county agents. The card calls attention to the method of treatment, which consists of recutting the stems at the cars and painting them with Bordeaux paste; and to the method of making the paste by using 8 ounces of bluestone and 4 ounces of starch to one gallon of water, this quantity of paste being sufficient to treat two to four car loads melons. This home-made paste is easily made according to the instructions given and may be kept a week or ten davs if desired in erlass or earthen vessels. A commercial paste may now be obtained also.
