Corn and Tomato Clubs.
In discussing the Importance of the
boys corn club of the county, Presi-
dent Kinard showed that the demand
in this county for money now was very
lax as compared with other years, and
that a good business man had shown
him as a reason therefor that from
$50 900 to 100000 less had been sent
out of this county for car loads of corn
since January l than for the same pc
riod last year. The president urged
the formation of a girls tomato club
in the county, and suggested that the
chamber of commerce get behind this
idea. Mr.. E. H. AuIl stated that Miss
Cromer, of Aiken, had charge of the
tomato clubs in twelve counties and
that she said there were $4,000 girls
engaged now in these tomato clubs in
the South. This State alone imported
S11, 100000 worth of canned goods
every year.
