Greetings to Canning < luh Member*} '
of 191ft.
There are liner opportunities than
ever for you to help tin club work et

learning to do many Interesting ami
valuable things for your home.
Please keep this letter and the ones
Which follow, read th4 Instructions
carefully and refer to them from time
to time. You will thus be sure that
you are following directions. Write
to us if you need ft her Information,

and length provide* it contain one
tenth acre or 4,35(1 . uare feet,
j 2. When you have finished your
work next summer, we shall ask you
to write a history of it. so begin at
once to keep a record. Keep a note?
book for the purpose and record (a)
tiie date, (l?) kind of work done, (c)
time used.
3. Keep a record of your expenses
charging i0 cents an hour for your
own work, and for all hired work and
supplies, charge the actual cost. Esti?
mate the value of stable manure at
42.00 per ton, allowing a good two
horse load for a ton. Charge your?
self $1.00 for the rent of your tenth
acre.
Selection of Soil.
Select a piece of well drained ?ffMldjl
loan) sollt preferably one nearly level.
Avoid soil that has been In tomatoes
the previous year, especialy if there
has been any disease on the plants, as
I some e)f the diseases live over winter
in the soil. Soil Where cotton has
been injured by the nematode or root
knot shoulel also be avoided.
Plow the soil six to eight inches
eleep in the fall or early winter and
apply two to three wagon loads of
well rotted manure to your tenth-acre
plot. Leave the soil rough during
j the winter to prevent washing. If
\ no well rotted man-are is available
use coarse manure and apply It be
j fore plowing and turn it under SO it
! w ill decay before spring.
Varieties of Tomatoes to Plant.
Where there is any prospect of an
; early local market for tomatoes it is
advisable to plant about one-fourth of
j the plot to an early variety like Earl
I iana. Plant the remainder of the
j plot to a good strain 01* Stone toma?
to. Where no market is available a
I few early tomatoes should be planted
1 for home use and the remainder of
the plot planted to the Stone for can?
ning purposes.
Starting the Plunts.
To get an early crop it is necessary
to start the plants during the winter.
The best method is to sow the seed
j in a hot bed in rows two to three
j inches apart, and when the plants
have developed their first true leaves
(transplant them to stand about two
j inches apart each way. This trans?
planting should be done in shallow
boxes tilled with good rich soil or di?
rect to another part of the bad. For
the general crop, grown for canning
i purposes, this transplanting is ill that
is necessary until ready to plan: to the
fielel. For extra early tomatoes it is
advisable to again transplant the
1 plants when they reach a height of
lour or live inches. This time plant
in three e>r four inch flower pots,
strawberry boxes or tin cans which
have had the tops and bottoms melted
I off. When grown In this way ti.e
1 plants can be left In the bed or cold
I frame until the blossoms begin to
open.
Making a Hot Bed.
The hot bed may be made as fol
. lows: Select a well drained location.
Where the bed will be sheltered, pre
i erably on the south side of a build?
ing or fence. Make an excavation
I eighteen inches eleep the size your bed
I is to be. Throw in fresh horse ma
I nure and pack by tramping. The inn
i nure heap should be about even With
the surface of the ground or eighteen
I inches eleep. The manure furnishes
[ the heat to start the plants. Put on
I top the manure four or five inches vi
la good garden loam, which has not
, grown any diseased plants, and com r
the bed with glass hot bed sash. Jf
j sash cannot be secured, canvas may
J be substituted for the ?lass. The ?om
! perature will run high for a few days,
1 but no seeds should be planted until
? the temperature falls to about so de?
grees F. which will require three or
1 our days.
A bed made about live feet aine
, Inches wide and about six feet long
will be plenty largo enough to grow
'plants for a tenth-acre garden. This
size bed Will take 2 hoi bed sashes
which measure three feet by six feet.
The frame lo support the sash should
he aboii'. fifteen to eighteen inches
high at the back and six inches lower
i.-. front in order to drain off the wa?
it r. The slope should bo toward the
South.
During bright days the bed will
liout very quickly and it will be nec?
essary to ventilate hy raising the sash
on 1 be opposite sitlc from the wind.
Town I'll evening close the sash in or
d< 1 to gel the bod warm before night.
VVt?t< 1 1 be !>? d in the neu nin1.'. <mi
bright days as watering in the ov 0
iiin > it mi cloud; days will hav?? n
undcnc,\ lo injure lite pl aits and in-1
crease the danger of freezing and
dampening off. Ventilate the bed af?
ter watering in order to dry off the
plants.
liefore the plants are set out *hev
should be hardened off and this can
be done by transferring t?> a cold
frame or by removing the hot bed
sash during the days in mild weather.
As the plants become hardened the
sash can be kept oft at nights when
(here is no danger of frost. This
hardening off process must be done
gradually to prevent any serious
check to growth.
If it is impossible to make a not
bed the plants can be started in shal?
low boxes in the house. Get shallow
boxes from a store and fill with good,
rich soil and sow the seed as describ
! ed for the hot bed. Bore two or
three holes in the bottom of the box
for drainage. Keep the box as near
I a window as possible and at living
room temperature. Close attention
should be given to watering as the
air of a living room is usually dry and
will soon dry out the soil. The plants
; must be developed in the light or they
Will be weak and spindling. They
should be Transplanted to other boxes
or to a cold frame, which is made !ti
the fame way as the hot bed except
that the manure is left out and canvas
may be substituted for the glass sash.
In the far South it Will not be neces?
sary to have a hot bed, the cokl frame
i will be sufficient.

Mary E. Creswell,

instructions for transplanting toma
! toes and will also give suggestions
about other vegetables which may be
