Mooi Fanning. rTIHERE have been a great many car- .1. toons and jokes in the funny pa pers and many laughs indulged in by the city folks because some of their country cousins consult the almanac and plant crops by the moon. This old radltion. which has been handed down since nobody knows when, might be seriously considered were It not for the fact that some people believe that the crops should be planted in the dark of the moon and others are equally sure that the crops should be planted only the light of the moon to assure sue. cess. There is such total disagree' ment among people on this point that the subject Justifies no serious consld ration. During the past two or three years he correspondence to the Agricultural College dealing with crop production as been largely from rural communl ties, and there have been occasional moon letters." Since the preparedness campaign has caused a great many people not previously engaged in agrl ultural pursuits to plant food crops, there has been a pronounced Increase In the number of "moon letters and trange to say. a large percentage of these come from one of our leading social. Industrial and educational cen ters. namely, Portland. Oregon. Few experiments have been carried out along this line In the United States, but there have been some extenslv ones carried out in Europe with the re suit that there Is no perceptible dif ference in the yield of crops planted In different phases of the moon.

Whether it Is in the light of the moon or the dark of the moon or what the "sign" is makes no difference.

Protect Tomato Plants. "Tomato plants must be protected frotA the cold and insects. The injury Inflicted on the plants by the cold nights depends to a great extent upon the condition of the plants before be- In field-set. If they are vigorous. hardy, of good size, and proper care has been used In hardening them, the dam age will be materially less. The foli age may turn plnK and tne plants, while making some root development, will show little signs of active top growth." So says Professor A. G. B. Bouquet, head- of vegetable gardening at O. A. C. "Protection of the plants at nlgnt will be beneficial according to the pro tective quality of the material used, and how much cold is actually kept out. Satisfactory results are oorainea by the use of a box large enouch to enclose the plant without cramping It, and covering it at night with a piece of glass, several thicknesses of paper, or a piece of board. I do not like the tight-fitting Mason Jars so commonly used, because they are narrow and bend the leaves of the plants. If I were growing tomatoes each year 1 would have a sufficient number of roughly constructed boxes and a pane of glass for each. Only a few mo ments is required to cover the plants In the evenings and the plants will ap preciate the protection." Tomato plants are easily stunted by continuous cool nights, and the flea beetles, which are active at this time, complete the Job by penetrating the tender leaves and literally eating the plants alive. The beetles are kept off by dusting the plants with screened wood ashes or sulphur 85 parts, pow dered arsenate of lead 15 parts. Pro-r feasor Lovett, of the entomology de partment, is recommending the above means of control, also suggests the use of screened wood ashes or air-slaked lime.
