TOMATOES 

HOW EARLY WILL TOMATOES RIPEN IN 
SHERIDAN COUNTY 
Last year we asked the above question, and offered a prize 
for the first ripe tomato brought in to us. The winner claimed 
it about July 25th. After that several folks told us they had 
ripe tomatoes even earlier. 
This year we are again offering a $2.00 prize for the first 
local garden ripened tomato brought in to our store. In case 
of tie, the best tomato gets the prize.
