"These tomatoe plants
would grow to a length, or
height of six feet If we left

al strings, that are attached
to wires that run across from
one side of the building to
the other at a height of a-
bout six feet.

that about this time of the
year the tomatoes sold In lo-
t (1 stores are imported from
Mexico With the greenhouse
it will be poeslble to grew
tomatoes year ’round and
sell them to local stem,
rcople should be able to buy
tomatoes at any time during
the year when the plants
start producing.
The temperature Inatd*
the greenhouse must vary
rome. That la, there must be
cool times and warm times,
but no extremes for too
quality tomatoes. They try
to keep the daytime tem-
perature around 84 and the *
night temperature around 90
to 80 degrees.
The entire south end of
the greenhouse, up to l
height of five feet. erlU bo
filled with cooling pads, Just
like in an air conditioner. On
the north wall are three fans
that will circulate the air
through the building. In
other words the structure In
a 100X40 air conditioner,
when they are trying to eool
the plants.
For artlflcal heat, Brinta
has Installed a forced air
furnace, Just like one might
find In a local home. The
lurnace Is army surplus,
but performs Just as well as
any other.
There are only about six
varieties recommended for
the greenhouse production,
according to Brinta. However,
he took a hybrid plant out of
his field to sen how It would
do and It la performing very
well, so far.
“The one dreaded disease
of the greenhouse tomatoes
Is Tobacco Mosaic," Brlnts
said. “If a person smokes or
c hews tobacco, he shouldn’t
handle the tomatoes while
they are in the greenhouse."
If contracted, the disease
could wipe out the produc-
tion of the tomatoes in a
greenhouse.
"We started this partly be-
cause we feel that the days
of cotton as a money crop
are numbered. Besides that,
though, the work can ho
done in the greenhouse dur-
ing the winter months when
other farm work la virtually
at a standstill,” he saUL
Brlnts concluded by J Sta-
ting that It serves as a hob-
by for him for he "loves to
see any plant grow."
