Importance of
Tomatoes Told
Instructions Given
. For Planting in
Victory Gardens
Production of tomatoes in Ore
Eon victory gardens this year will
ave an important bearing on both
food family living and the nation's
wartime food production goals,
points out Robert E. Rieder, coun
ty agent of Marion county.
1 ..The national goal for canned
IAi.lia in 1049 ia cot at 40 mil-
w Jliia wvo iu win w- - - -
lion cases, an all-4ime high mark.
The state goal for farm gardens..
In Oregon is 59,500. If enough to
matoes were produced in each one
of these farm gardens to permit
the saving of only 10 cans which
could otherwise be purchased from
stores, a total of 24,400 cases
would be added to the commercial
stocks for war needs, says Rieder.
This tomato situation serves as
a striking example of how Ore
gon's victory gardens can contrib
ute substantially to the stock of
tomatoes and other supplies for
home use fresh from the garden
and for canning.
In preparing to grow tomatoes
this year, Rieder suggests that for
most areas the best varieties are
-s Bonnie Best, John Baer, Prichard,
or Stokesdals. For a late tomato
Rutgers is recommended. Plants
can be grown or purchased to
make one setting about May 15,
and the second around June 10,
these dates to be varied somewhat
according to the altitude and frost
record of the particular commu
nity. These two plantings will ordi
narily supply fresh tomatoes over
$ long season, provide for canning
and also leave a few to be stored
after fall frost arrives. Tomatoes
are particularly easy to can, are
Important nutritionally as a val
uable source of vitamin C, and
are suitable for use for all three
meals in various forms.
Those who desire a specific
planting plan for a home garden
will find one diagrammed in de
tail in extension circular No. 283,
available at county agent's of
fices. Extension bulletin No. 552
even gives the amount of seed
needed for a given length of row.
It is recommended that garden
seeds be purchased early but only
in amounts needed for this year's
planting. Marking the date of
purchase on the package is a good
plan where not all the seed is
used Immediately.

ceived for domestic wools but very
little new business was transacted

ing to determine the effect of the
tighter ceiling prices established for
greasy shorn domestic wools. Average

basis, including the duty.

Grain Market
Trading Dull
CHICAGO, Feb. 24-(iTl)-Trad-ing
in grain futures was a dull
and listless affair Tuesday and all
grains with the exception of rye
closed lower than Saturday's fin
al prices. Rye gains were held to
cent a bushel at the extreme.
Wheat opened with gains ex
tending to Y cent, with May con
tracts at 1.30 and 'July at
$1.32, the highest for the ses
sion. Weakness of corn and lack
of any constructive news were de
pressing factors. Most interests
apparently were "awaiting devel
opments on the farm bloc bill un
der which it was hoped to compel
the government to purchase agri
cultural commodities in the open
market
Final prices for wheat were ft
to cents lower than the pre
vious close, May $1-29, July
$1.31'.-, both at the day's low
est levels.
and turnips and parsnips were
priced a nickle more.
Chives were 80 cents flat
Garlic was nominally 12 cents
pound and dry onions held $2.25
for best 50s.
