Most of the girls are selling their tomatoes to coun- 

 try stores and neighbors, and are getting ten cents a 

 can for them. 



The agents have asked one person in each neighbor-

 the introduction of much good work that can be accom- 

 plished in this county.

 for co-operation were more probable. 



After driving many miles, writing many letters, and 

 telephoning no little, the organization was completed. 

 Five clubs were formed with a membership of thirty-two. 

 As rapidly as -members were secured and clubs formed 

 they were furnished lesson sheets. Members were also 

 personally visited and instructed in work. In April, 

 when plants were ready for setting, I again visited the 

 girls. Found many members had failed on plants; to 

 these I furnished plants, enabling them to get out plats. 



As soon as crops were out I began demonstrations 

 in sewing, beginning first with caps and aprons. Not 

 a few girls knew nothing of sewing, and others were 

 not able to secure material to use; to these I furnished
