Now Is Right Time
To Plant Tomatoes
For Best Results
Wait until the third week in
May — then put in your tomato
transplants. Plants about eight
inches high are your best bet, say
Ontario Department of Agriculture
sources.
Gardeners who stake their to-
matoes can plant 18 inches apart
in three-foot rows. Plants that are
not staked must have more room
— three feet apart in rows four
to five feet apart. Staking makes
cultivation easier and gives clean,
easy to find fruit. Tomatoes al-
lowed to grow naturally are less
likely to get blossom -end rot.
At each hole, add a handful of
a complete fertilizer that has been
well mixed with a bucketful of
soil,
Prune the plants to one or two
main stems before staking them.
Use stakes that are about eight
feet long and drive them in to a
depth of two feet. Tie the plants
to the stakes with strips of cloth
or soft twine (hard wine will cut
the stems). Tie the string firmly
around the stake and loosely
around the stalk; one tie every
foot -and -a -half should be enough.
As the plant develops, side
During 1959 Canadian produ-
cers sold foreign buyers goods val-
ued at $5.2 billion while foreign
producers sold $5.7 billion worth
of goods in the Canadian market.

shoots or suckers appear at the
points where the large leaves are
joined to the main stems. Break
these off so that more food can
be used by the fruit. If they are
large and tough, remove them with
a sharp knife, or else the plant
stalk may be damaged when they
are torn away. It pays to examine
the plant every few days for new
sucker growth.
Moisture? Try to keep the soil
at uniform, but moderate, rnois-
ture content, Remember that wide
moisture variations result in blos-
som -end rot. Mulching helps con-
serve moisture. If your plants are
not staked, a mulch will double
as protection against fruit rots
due to contact with the soil.

Factory For Building Mobile Homes
Announcement of the establish-
ment of Mid States of Canada in
Calgary, Alberta, was made last
Tuesday by C. E. Burt, president
of Vought Industries, Inc., par-
ent company of Mid States. Vought
Industries acquired General Mo-
bile Homes in Hensall late last
year.
W. C. Smith, vice-president and
general manager of Mid States,
will be in charge of the new or-
ganization which will be located at
3715 Edmonton Trail, Calgary, Mr.
Burt said, Mr. Smith is also vice-
president and general manager of
General Coach Works of Canada
at Hensall
•
It is expected the Calgary plant
will be in production by June 15,
manufacturing a full line of dom-
estic mobile homes, industrial un-
its, and travel trailers under the
established names of General and
Mid States. These products are
familiarly known as the Zephyr
and Northlander lines.
"The location of Mid States in
Calgary will permit Vought Indus-
tries to serve Western Canada with
our first line of Canadian built
mobile homes, industrial trailers of
all types, and travel trailers," said
Mr. Burt. "This move is in line
with Vought Industries' policy of
establishing national product lines
and providing manufacturing and
distributing facilities to serve a
net -work of dealers."
Vought Industries, a subsidiary
of Chance Vought Aircraft, Inc.,
became the leading mobile home
manufacturer in the United States
and in Canada last year by acquir-
ing ABC Coach Company, General
Coach Works, and Mid States Cor-
poration, three veteran mobile
home manufacturers. Sales of the
three companies for 1959 approxi-
mated $60,000,000.
Personnel from the Hensall plant
will form the nudleus of the Cal-
gary operation. In charge of pro-
duction at Calgary will be Robert
Baker, while Don Kyle, Zurich,
will be in charge of shipping and
final inspection. They will move
to Calgary in the immediate fu-
ture. Fred Broadley will be sales
manager at Calgary, but will op-
erate Qut of Hensall.
