bell piles all the leaves fr
om his shade trees on a heap
in the fall. In the spring, the
partially rotted leaves are
broken up and used to mul
ch around the tomato plans
All during the season,
mulch is stirred at frequent
intervals. Campbell believes
the stirring up helps the
mulch form a better barrier
against water evaporation
from the soil.
Although Campbell uses
cow manure and leaf mulch
on his plot, he is not, in the
strict sense, an organic gar
dner. He applies lime ac
cording to a soil test and
works either 5-10-10 or 5-
10-5 into the soil when it
is turned in the spring
Every three or four days
during the growing season,
Campbell will tie the leader
to the stake and support
each bud cluster as soon as
the fruit has set. At the sa

Campbell likes the Big
Boy tor Ins purpose because
it is a rank grower and bea
rs fruit The Glamor
plants this year are very
heavy producers, but the st
alks are not as vigorous and
the fruit is smaller and mo
le uniform Last year he
grew the Kevstate which ga
ve him good results, but
olants of this vancty were
not available this year
Campbell who works as a
buyer at one of the Lancas
ter oeoartmont stores, read
ily admits that some of his
oracLces may not be practi
cal on the commercial scale,
but he emoys growing big
ger and bigger tomatoes than
before Eneh summer he
furnishes the tomatoes for
the salad course for service
and civic club luncheons whi

“I lust get a kick out of
wai. chine them grow and se
eing how big I can get them”
Campbell says That is all
the reward needed for the
tendo’’ loving care he be
stows on his plot of gigan
tic love apples
Harvesting apple's at the
right stage of maturity will
do more to lengthen their
storage lite and prevent
scald than artificial aids,
says Carl S Bittner, Penn
S*ate extension pomologist
Quality and appearance are
influenced also by the color
of the fruit, condition of the
trees, and kind of containers
used for storage.
