INTERESTING LETTER
To The Girls' Canning And Poultry j
Club of Horry County?What
They Have Done
The members of this club in Tlor
ry are to be contrabulat-ert upon the
fine ^bowing made in 1912. We appreciate
the diffeulties you have met,
and the determination and persever 1
ence you have shown in overcoming
them.
While many of the girls have done
well, three made the unusual yield *
of 1000 cans of tomatoes on one tenth
of an acre. There are doubtless
others who would have measured
as many if they had been able to
save all of their tomatoes. A trirl
who can make the soil produce 1000
per acre is contributing something
to the cause of agriculture and this
is what a girl does when 9he puts up
1000 cans of tomatoes on one-tenth
of an acre. This is allowing only
t^n cents per can for our tomatoes,
when they have been found on exam
nation to be of better quality than
actory tomatoes that sell for fifteen
fents per can.
cTbis year wo hope to offer pr'zes
xor ail kinds of canned goods and
or poultry. Any girl between 9
and 18 years of age may join. Teach
ers and others interested are request
ed to explain the object of the club
to the girls In their schools and encourage
them to become members.
All names should be sent in to mo at
Conway, S. C , before Jan. 25ih.
Every girl who joins a club is urged
to put forth her best efforts to
learn and to become skillful Ie is a
good thing to know about the soil,
plants, and nature. It is an accomplishment,
also to le.arn the arts of
cooking and houso-keeoing. Ariists
in these linos are scarce and highly '*
appreciated. A girl who do's this
work well for a year will take a decided
step towards self improve- ;
ment and ( fficiency. The Fiith i
National Corn Exposition meets ibis
year, for the first time, in the South
It will he bnld in Columbia, Jau 27 J
?Feb. 8. The girls clubs cf Horry J
will bo represented by four young
ladies who have shown -excellence |
in their work. Miss May Er z >r of
Fair Bluff, ank Miss Prkcie Hooks '
of Nichols won the free trip; < If jr* d
for the best teoorts. Miss Tholma '
Moore of Con way and Miss B.ttie j
Long of Longs have been chose.i by
the State Agent to assist her togeth
er with girls from other counties in
giving a canning demonstration
during the exposition. All other
members are urged to attend. The
exposition is not only a corn show.
It will be educational along many
lines and national in its scope. It
is not probable that an opportunity
of this kind will be offered again
soon. Rates will be given from ail
points. For further information
write Miss Edith L. Parrott, Wiuthrop
College, Rock Hill, S. C.

Letter From C. F. Spivey.
I spent the latter part of last

the looks of tobacco beds I think
Horry will produce a bumper crop
of tobacco i his year.

this is the besb school that I have
had the pleasure of being in, in a
long time Everybody took active
part in the services, and especially
the younger ones, who at the roll
call answered to their name with a
verse of scripture, and at classes
they had a good lesson. They are
erecting them a new building which
is nearing completion. Jt is a great
pleasure to me to be in such a Sunday
School, and I hope to be with
them often. May the Lord bless
them in thetr work, and I beg to remain,
theirs in the work.
