Tomato Plants Shedding Blooms Tomato plants are now grow ing vigorously and also produc ing a large number of blossoms, In general, however, these blossoms are not setting fruit, This is particularly true in home gardens. This shedding of early blossoms is a natural tendency of tomatoes and no disease or insect-pest Is Involved. It can be overcome to a cer tain extent by subjecting the plants to less favorable growing conditions The easiest factor to alter is moisture. If the soil is allowed to dry out to the point where the plants are suffering a little for moisture, these blos soms will set fruits. Care must be taken not to allow the plants to become too dry especially if the weather should turn warm. Spray Or Dust For Peach Brown Rot Brown rot In peaches can be controlled pretty well by spray ing or dusting with sulfur. Where brown rot was present last Tear, two applications should be made. The first of these should be applied now and .the second about a week before harvest. Where no brown rot has been present in the past, one application about ten days before harvest should give con trol. Early Crawfords and Roches ters are more susceptible to rot so should ' receive close atten tion. It Is probable that the disease will be worse than usual this year because of the wet season and the large hold-over of disease from last year. Use six pounds of wettable sulfur per 100 gallons of water. If a dust is used, it requires from Vi to i pound per tree. Hero j - m w - Use a dusting sulfur of at least 325 mesh By C. B. CORDY, Assistant County Agent. How To Remove Clothing Stains Summer always means crisp light colored clothes that add to the homemaker's laundry prob lems. Invariably one of the youngsters will spill his fruit punch or drop cherry juice down the front of his shirt. If prompt and careful attention is given to removal of these stains, little trouble will be encountered, but so many times we forget and the garment goes through the usal washing procedure before you discover it and in this case many stains are set and cannot be removed. Home Economics Bureau of the U.S D A. recommends thift If the nature of the stain is not known and it does not appear to be greasy, sponging with a wet cloth may be effective. How ever, it is always well to try the action of water on some inconspicuous part of the gar ment unless it is definitely known that the fabric will not water spot or the color be affected. "Spread the article on a flat surface in a good light. Ley the stained material with the wrong side up and apply the liquid to the back, so that the foreign substances can be washed from the fibers without , having to pass through the material. A cloth folded several times to form a pad, or better, a clean piece of blotting paper may be placed under the stain to absorb the superfluous liquid. Change the pad or paper occasionally as it becomes soiled. Sponge with a clean, soft, llntless cloth which has been dipped in the liquid and wrung until partially dry. Do not have the cloth ex cessively wet Use light brushing motions; spreading the moisture Irregularly into the surround ing fabric In order to prevent rings. Don't Use Chsmlcals Until Water Triad Chemicals should not be used until after water has been tried, unless it Is definitely known that water will not remove the stain or that the fabric is un suitable for water treatmen. There Is always danger that chemicals will attack the fiber. If it Is possible to determine the kind of stain, its successful removal is more certain. Fresh fruits and berries are readily removed if done immediately before the stain dries. Pour boil ing water through the stain from the wrong side at a height of three or four feet to give force. Avoid the use of soap on fruit stains as the alkali tends to set the stain. Sponge delicate fab rics with warm water. It must be remembered that all stains are not made up of one product For Instance In re moving coffee stains the sugar and cream have stained the gar ment as well as the coffee. Best policy is to use cold water first for it will not set the stain and may remove part of the stain. Then treat the product as you would for each individual stain, i. e. pour boiling water over it as for fruit stain if a washable material. This will remove the coffee and sugar ,then proceed to remove cream with grease solvent after the garment has dried. You will find this bulletin F.
