EAST TEXAS TOMATOES
AETAHDED 01
UNFAVORABLE WEATHER

HEV. GUT W. SMALL
NEW PASTOR BAPTIST
CHORCH OF TIMPSON
Rev. Guy W. Small has
of
the Springhill Baptist church
at Longview, where he has
been pastor for the past two
years, and is one of the lead-
ing young ministers of the
church. He i3 married and has
a young son, Johnnie. !
He succeeds Rev. W. A.
Dollahite, who was pastor of
the church for a number of
years. Rev. and Mrs. Dolla-
hite have moved to Holly
Springs, La., where the Rev.
Dollahite will be pastor of the
Baptist church in that city.
icepted the pastorate
A combination of cold Timpson Baptist church
. nights, high winds and cut
worms have retarded the nor-
mal growth of tomato plants
in East Texas. Most growers
have already completed the
setting of tomato plants in the
field except for occasional re-
plantings or where cutworms
have destroyed a number of
plants which will require re-
placements. Acreage in the
Jacksonville - Tyler - Athens
area is estimated at 25 to 80
per cent less than last season.
In the DeKalb-Avery-Bogota
area the acreage is estimated
to be 40 to 50 per cent leas
than a year ago.
To stimulate plant growth,
We suggest that tomato grow-
ers apply about a tablespoon-
rr.al of nitrate of soda per
plant, which is equivalent of
100 pounds per acre, at this
time. Light applications of ni-
trogen will stimulate root de-
velopment, which in turn will
enable the young plants to
take in more food. Under ordi-
nary circumstances, this appli-
cation of nitrogen* would not
be recommended. Due, how-
ever to cold nights and low
soil temperatures, soil nitrofi-
cation has been slow with the
result that tomato plants are
growing satisfactorily. In two
to three weeks a second appli-
cation of 8-8-8 fcvtiliz.r. tc
make a total of 800 to 1,000
pounds per acre, should be ap-
plied. Avoid making late ap-
plications of any kind of ferti-
lizer, especially nitrogen. Late
fertilizer applications cause
excessive plant grow delay
maturity and mis-lead pickers
in harvesting the crop before
it is matured. Let’s remember
there is a good tomato season
in sight. You’ll feel badly if
half of the tomatoes from your
first few loads are turned
down at the packing sheds be-
cause of immaturity. Everyone
wants to get the benefit of
