NAIL POLISH FOR PICKING TOMATOES "New Agriculture" published in the United States tells a story of bow a farmer's wife solved a tomato picking problem that arose on her husband's truck farm. The women tomato pick- ers hired by the farmer were certainly energetic enough but their poor judg- ment was ruining half the crop, be- cause the tomatoes they picked were either too ripe or too green. The farmer was at his wit's end. He did not know what to do, but his wife did. She called in an acquaintance of hers, a professor of the Faculty of Ag- riculture at Purdue University Indiana. After several hour's observation, the professor decided that the 'cause of the trouble was the women's inability to remember the exact shade of red for picking. As he watched an idea struck him. Why not mix a shade of nail polish the colour of ripe tomatoes so that the women could have a standard guide at their finger tips all the time? It worked, and sure enough whenever a woman reached for the tomatoes, she picked only the ripe ones. 110WICK COUNCIL Gorrie, July 5th., 1945 The Council met in the Township Hall according to adjournment, the members were all present, the Reeve D.
