Oolenoy Girl Wins Scholarship
An Oolenoy tomato club girl leads
Pickens county tomato clubs in the pro
duction of tomatoes. Miss Merle Hen

The yield from her one-tenth of an acre
was 609 3-pound cans, besides $5 worth
of fresh tomatoes sold. For this extra
ordinar achievement Miss Merle is
awarded a short-course scholarship at
Winthrop college. While it was pos
sible for only one member to' surpass,
all met with splendid success- and this
season hundreds of cans will be sold
where heretofore they had been bought.
A step in the line of progress and a
"star' for the name of the home dem
