The window box. with its delightful

THE QUEEN OF THE TOMATO GIRLS.

Let coronet Of rubyhued love
apples from her own vines encircle the
brow OF Miss Bessie Stallllcy. OF the
old Dominion, as she is crowned queen
of all the $4,000 Southern girls who
are growing tomatoes as part Of the
great progressive farming movement.
Five thousand nine hundred and thirty
eight pounds OF the plump scarlet
herbs smiled on her tenth of an acre
in response TO her magical caresses
in 1912. This ambitious, painstaking.
energetic daughter of Clarke County
has shattered the record for tomato
production. Guided by the slogan OF
the Girls Canning Clubs Make tho
best better she assuredly has done
that, With her little garden she hns
OF truth done what she could. The
words that his mother taught King
Lcmuel in the days of the prophets
fit her she oonsidereth n field .
with the fruit OF her hands she plant
eth n vineyard; she perceivcth that
her merchandise is good ana
eateth not the bread Of idlcness
Give her of the fruit of hcr hands, and
let her own works praise her in the
gates"
There is deeper purpose in the Girls
Canning Clubs than The mere increased
production OF tomatoes by the girls
on the farms and their resultant ma
tcrial enrichment and financial indie
pendence. There is a more exalted
goal than the production by them of
greater yields from the little green
vines. There is n spiritual and sociui
meaning 10 the movement that lifts
it FAR above the development of tho
soil and it's utilization for larger gain.
The canning club constitutes the open
