Several of this community are trying a new method in raising to matoes. It was tried last summer and proved a success, so others are trying it. It is said that a hole should be sunk three feet, filled half full of compost, leaf mold, or any fertilizer that is handy, the plant is set and as it grows the hole is filled with rich earth. I heard of one plant that was raised last summer in the Mayson settle ment that supplied the table, the plants are said to grow to great size. However, it is some task to get the desired depth in country with such a firm foundation as this community has.
