The discussion has l?een productive of nothing save ta'k and wo are as far from h ising a canning f? i ry as ever, but a move? ment has been inaugurated in the county that, we trust and believe, will he of great vuluc to the county and wiil do more to encouraje truck grow? ing than a canning factory.

Moise, president SuintCF Chnm boff of OOMMOrcOi Introduced Senator K 11 Smith, who spi ke at consider? able length to the girls and others present. Senator Smith In his re? marks told the girls to raise tomato, first for their home use, bofort they put any on the market. He describ? ed the high eost of living as nothing more nor less thun the eost of high living, saying that he wished that meat was twenty-live to forty cents a pound, that flour was twenty dol? lars a barrel, and that other things were correspondingly high, for then those who were now consumers only, would bo obliged to work and become producers, ar. end, ho allirmed, which it OH very desirable to attain. Miss Lizzie Dvkhon, tomato club organizer lor Darlington county, spoke of her experiences in the work of organizing torn; to (dubs and urged the girl* to stick to their work. Her talk was a praeticial one and will no doubt prove of much value to the to? mato club girls. Mr. I* L. Haker, district farm dem? onstration agent, spoke on the cul? ture and fertilization of the tomatlo plant, teling the girls about this feature of the work and how they should manage it. Miss Edith L. Parrott. State organ izer lor South Carolina, spoke at length ef the preparations which must be made to ran .he tomatoes and the proper method* of canning. She shoAed bow the work would be test? ed and any defective work become known. The girls therefore must ex? ercise care, she said, to tan the to? matoes when they ware at the right stage and in the approved way. The organization of the local clubs into a county club devolved upon Miss Mary LtMMOIIi supervisor of rural l boote and tomato elub organizer for IfJMtOf County.
