Wingham "The Gist of It" THIS GIST,. OP IT session is in answer to a request from a reader who asked for the story of the tom- ato, how it was discovered, and how it came to be the staple that it is today. Well, our report on the subject re- veals that the tomato is a native of Latin America and was cultivated by "the original inhabitants from Mexico to Peru. The name conics from the Spanish "tomate" t-o-m-a-t-e which in turn is derived from the Aztec word "tomatl" t-o-m-a-t-I. Early Spanish explorers found the Aztecs growing tomatoes in patches of corn, and using •them for food. And it was these conquerors of the mighty Aztec empire who brought the tomato into Spain, from whence it spread all over Europe, Europeans thought that the tomato was from the apple family, for the record reveals that Italians, as early as 1554, ate yellow tomatoes, and called them "gold apples." The French called the tomato the "love apple," and a spark back in 16th Century Prance would present • ,-;•:*4 Illustrated--Oldsmobile Super "88" De Luxe 4-Door Sedan ile this Fa E Sets Higi ago High-C pr ssi Progress I Oldsmobile's "Rocket" the most famous automotive engine of modern times.'—is now in its third triumphant year!

He says there are four means. of distinguishine. the Perennial Sow Thistle from the. two annuals, Perennial Sow Thistle is a taller, more slender plant than the annual Sow Thistles. There are numerous underground Toots" on the Perennial Sow Thistle, while the Annual Sow Thistles have a single tap root. . The leaves 4 /4 th" Perennial Sow Thistle are deeply cut with the seg- nents pointed baeltwards and they are slightly prickly. The Common Annual Sow Thistle has deeply cut and lobed leaves and are scarcely richly. The Spring Annual has leaves which are wavy on the margin, prick- ly and often decidedly waxy. The Portnnial Sow Thistle has deep yellow flowers of about 11,, inch 17 17 across while the flowers of the an- nuals are paler and smaller. Mr. Murphy feels that too much em- phasis cannot be placed on controlling Perennial Sow Thistle and everyone should make an effort to get this !weed under control. There are any number of ways of controlling this pest, but improving the drainage and cultivation are two main ways of controlling Perennial Sow Thistle, Mr. Murphy suggests that low-lying tin- . drained fields may be used mainly for hay and pasture, rather than for grain crops, but where and when pos- sible, the field should be properly 'underdrained. Cultivating when dry is one of the most effective means of control. However, he points out that the disc harrow should not be used, as this implement is inclined to pull the root stocks over the field, thus spreading the weed further. Plowing in midsummer followed by numerous cultivations will work very well as an alternative. An effective control can also be ob- tained with chemical weed killers, states Mr. Murphy. All Sow Thistles are susceptible to 2-4-D. It may be zp- li,ed to fields of grain and corn where 'Perennial' Sow Thistle is present at the rate of 8 oz. acid per acre. How- ever if the spray is being used on grain that IS seeded down, not more than 4 oz. acid per acre should be used, as the clovers and alfalfa are easily damaged by 2-4-D. For best control, it should be applied prior to blooming, when the flower is in the bud stage. He stresses the fact, that no matter which method of control is used, Perennial Sow Thistle should be given every attention to bring it under con- trol, and in time eradicate it. e- - ;Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, feels that they are a !! menace to agriculture, since in cer- ▪ tali' sections of the Province they have made profitable crop production ▪ :eXtremely difficult, Sow Thistles re— thrive in both cultivated and oneulti- . ,vated places, but grow most vigorous- & ly on heavy damp soils and where the 11- Telephone--84 Wingham ,drainage is poor, — Mr, Murphy goes on to point out that there are three varieties of ,Sow '1141erkley Motors 'INWV,r) OF WC Wgteli"'" • SOW Thistles Sow Thistles, partfcularly.

But the more cautious northern Eur- opeans would have nothing to do with tomatoes,. The fact Is, they had a notion that the tomato was poisonous . because 'it was a member of the night- shade family, from which peppers and eggplants also come. It was a shame, this idea that the "love apple" was poisonous. In. the 16th Century, the tomato, imported .into. Europe from Latin Ain- erica .by way of Spain, was called the "wolf peach" as well as "love apple," because people thought that tomatoes Would poison wolves. Very strange Were some of the notions about the tomato. It was believed to cause stom- ach ulcers and even cancer. For more than two centuries, it was grown in England only as a decorat, ive plant, In 1747, Phillip writer of a famous gardener's diction-. ary, wrote "The Italians and Span- iards eat those apples as we do cu- cumbers with pepper, oil and salt, and, some eat them stewed in sauces, etc., but considering their great mois- ture and coldness, the nourishment they afford must be had." However, in the 1752 edition of his book, Miller said, "In soups, tomatoes are now much used in England though some Persons think they are not whole- some," However, such a celebrated authority as Thomas Jefferson, writ- ing in 1784, in his book "Notes in Vir- ginia" said that tomatoes were .culti- vated in gardens in Virginia for food purposes, Another story about then subject concerns Robert Gibbons Johnson, who was credited with tremendous courage because he ate a tomato in the presence of a crowd at the Salem, New Jersey courthouse in 1820, But the prejudice was gradually dissipated as breeders developed smooth, attractive looking varieties of the fruit, and today the tomato ranks second among American crops, next to the potato.
