Potting Early Tomatoes 
Prof. Massey has stated that for pot¬ 
ting up early tomatoes and other plants 
the earthen pots are cheaper and better 
than paper pots or dirt bands. Will the 
4-in. pots be large enough for the final 
shift, and will it he necessary to have 
more than one size if a variety of vege¬ 
table and flowering plants are to be 
started? s. s. c. 
Hardwick, Vt. 
I do not shift tomato plants, but do 
shift eggplants into 4-in, pots, as I do 
not set thpm in cold frame. I pot toma¬ 
toes into 2%-in. pots to prevent their 
getting crowded and injured before get¬ 
ting stout enough to go into the frames, 
and before the weather suits the change. 
Rut to make strong, short and stout 
plants I always put them in the cold 
frame 4 in. apart. Then they come up 
with a mass of roots taken with a garden 
trowel, and are set in, watered, and do 
not wilt, but go right ahead. I have the 
same lot of pots I bought a dozen years 
ago. The 24^-in. pots then cost about 
$•> per thousand, and pots up to 4-in. 
size cost less than a cent each.

Interesting Parts of Beekeeping 1 
The most interesting part of a bee¬ 
keeper's season is when the first red 
maples are blossoming. It is then that he 
knows it is time to take his bees from 
their Winter quarters and place them on 
their Summer stands, and another season 
has begun. Many are the bee lovers who 
are waiting all through the long Winter 
for this time to come, whether they keep 
bees for profit or for pleasure. Many an 
hour is spent watching the bees bringing 
in their first pollen ami see them hustling 
into their hive as fast os their legs can 
carry them, thinking of nothing else, 
only to store more honey. 
'Soon after the bees are on their Sum¬ 
mer stand, the first warm, pleasant day 
the beekeeper opens the hive to see if 
they have a queen, and if she is laying 
eggs, and how much honey they have left 
after their long Winter’s sleep. If he 
finds all right he leaves them to gather 
honey from the dandelion and fruit bloom, 
and slowly but surely sees his colony 
grow from a mere handful of bees in 
early Spring to large and powerful colo¬ 
nies that gather nature’s purest sweet. 
As the colony grows ami the beekeeper 
adds more stories in which they store the 
surplus honey the season advances; soon 
clover is in bloom and gone, golcleurod 
and Fall flowers are starting, and he 
knows it is time to gather his crop, pre¬ 
pare for another Winter and that the 
close of another honey season is at hand.

Hubam Clover in Piedmont, N. C. 
After reading the article of ,T. O. I.of- 
tiu ou page ISO I mu prompted to give 
our experience with Hubam last year. 
Several of our farmers secured seed and 
planted a total of 15 acres in rows on 
land that varied from very thin to mod¬ 
erately fertile. Part of the planting was 
subject to a very heavy rain before it 
came up, and resulted in a poor stand, 
and the entire planting was practically 
without rain during greater part of the 
growing period, but with all that the 
growth that this crop made was a sur¬ 
prise to every one who saw it. The growth 
ranged from o to S ft., and had it been 
broadcast would have made considerably 
more crop, either soiling or hay. than Soy 
beans under the same circumstances. We 
find that Ilubam is wintering perfectly 
with us. as it did at the Tennessee station 
during the Winter of 11)20-21, and we are 
looking forward to the time when we can 
secure seed and sow it generally in the 
Fall instead of Crimson clover, that has 
always been somewhat of a hazardous 
crop on the heavier soils of Piedmont, 
North Carolina. w. g. y.

R. N.-Y.—We would like full reports 
of the behavior of Ilnbam clover. Some 
of the experiment stations are not enthu¬ 
siastic over it. They claim that the old 
biennial Sweet clover is superior to Hu- 
bam. We do uot think so—at least for 
our own locality—but we want a full and 
fair duscussion of it without prejudice or 
“booming.”
