Tomatoes Bring Good Returns.

When a city girl feels the need OF
money-her own money, to pay fol-
the things girls imagine they must
have these days-she goes to work In
an office, a store, or factory, accord
ing to her education and opportunity
In the country girl, with much the
same longings for nice things and
"good times" looks to the poultry
yard, the milk house, or the garden
for her spending money. If her pa
rents are the right kind, if they are
intelligent enough to help her aid en-
courage her in her work, she will
soon establish herself as a scmi-in-
dependent member of the family. If,
as often happens, the parents are not
disposed to have such goings-on, and
there is no home demonstration agent
no girls club, no extension work of
any kind in the community, the coun-
try girl goes to the city and the farm
ing regions have lost one more poten-
tial home and family.
No doubt exists in the minds of
men and women of large experience
in the extension work carried on by
the United States Department Of Ag-
risulture in cooperation with state
agricultural colleges that the economl-
cal appeal is the entering influence
needed in getting their clubs or bu-
reaus started in rural regions. Once
the young people have learned way
to earn money the desire for the
things it will buy asserts itself, and
home betterments and improved liv-
ing conditions follow naturally.
Down in Arkansas girls canning
club started contest to determine
which of the members could produce
the most tomatoes at the least eX-
pense, and with the lowest percentage
of waste. Annet Sarge, on the Mount
Valley route, near Hot Springs, grew
3.14O pounds of tomaties on one-tenth
of an acre, at cost of S31.40 and net
returns of S109. With the Same eX-
pense her sister, Fannie, grew 1920
pounds and had a net return of S1O7.-
SO. Ada Rosamond grew 2,SO3
pounds costing s27.42, with a net re-
turn of S76.66, and Ruby Waddell, at
Bonneville, had 3,07O pounds, costing
s29.91, with net returns of S6s.
