TOMATO GROWERS ARE
CALLED TO MEET HERE
VIII Gather AT A O'clock Tues
day Afternoon in Chamber
of Commerce Rooms

Tomato growers of Sumter
county are asked to meet
Tuesday afternoon at four
o'clock in the rooms of the Chamber
of Commerce. The meeting is call
ed by Rev. John M. Cutler, George
%. Marshall and Henry P. Everett,
who compose the Kiwanis club COM
mittee, which organization is back
ing the crop as a commercial ven
ture here.
1t is stated that many encourag
ing reports have been received from
tomato growers throughout the coun
ty, and that in many instances there
is prospect Of a splendid yield with
favorable weather continuing.
Marketing problems in connection
with the commercial production of
tomatoes in Sumter county have
been the subject of prolonged study
by the Kiwanis club committee, and
it is known that definite conclusions
have been reached upon this phase
of the proposition.
1t is believed now that with prop
er packing and grading Sumter
county tomatoes will encounter a
steady demand, and command prices
that indicate their culture as a sue
cessful venture in this section. A
feature in connection with the mar
keting of tomatoes that has proved
especially pleasing to the committee
in charge for the Kiwanis club is
that they will come into the markec
just at the time when Florida toma-
toes are practically exhausted, ana
can be shipped south as well as TO
northern and eastern markets.
