Crushing Tomatoes, with Coarse Pulp Running Into Barrel to Be Fermented. 
Part of Flume in Immediate Foreground. 
removal from the flume, the excess water is 
gently pressed from the seed, after which it 
is spread on especially constructed screens to 
cure naturally by the sun heat. We have 
known seed properly saved in this manner to 
retain a good germination for more than ten 
years. 
In connection with harvest it is of interest 
to state that after much work in disease con' 
trol of tomatoes, the Utah Experiment Station 
has issued a bulletin by Dr. H. L. Blood 
setting forth 
their findings to 
the effect that 
fermentation of 
the whole pulp 
of tomatoes is a 
definite control 
for one of the 
most serious of 
seed'borne dis' 
eases, Bacterial Canker (Aplanobacter Michi' 
ganense). Although until recent years urn 
aware of its value as a disease control, we 
have always used this method of seed extrac' 
tion, believing that it has many advantages 
in securing seed of nice appearance and strong 
viability, at the same time reducing the 
chances for varietal mixture. 
Our main seed storage warehouse is con' 
structed of hollow tile so as to remain dry and 
at the same time maintain a cool, even tern' 
perature. This is 
a very important 
feature in the 
proper ware' 
housing of seeds 
as has been 
proved many 
times by extern 
sive experi¬ 
ments.
