Farmers desiring 70 try the cultivation
Of Tomatoes for market will do well to
communicate with Messrs. Clark & Frey.
of Fishing Point These gentlemen will

We do not advise our farmers 10 give up
every other crop and go into the Tomato
business, but we think that those within
striking distance of the canneries would DO
well to devote some of their land and time
to Tomato cultura.
