them, and it was so unhandy to stake them.

I did not have any trouble with the insects, but when the plants begame to bloom, they would wilt and die with the blight Miss Bradford came down to see my plot, and advised me to spray them and plant beans or something else. But before I could get my lime most all of them had died so I just pulled all the deads ones up and planted beans, but they did not come up very well.

When the tomatoes that were left began to get ripe I picked out the nicest ones and sold what I could of them, and kept the rest of them for home use. I used the nicest tomatoes in canning and the small rotten-specked ones I fed to the hogs and chickens.

As my beans did not come up very well I did not raise but about two pecks.

The cost of work on my plat amounted to $1.25, fertilizer .90 both together = $2.15 profit on one tenth of acre was $4.10.

The Tomato Club work has helped me to know more about canning and saving fruit. Then I have the small profit of $4.10 which payed for the new school books which I had to have this year. I shall try another year in the Club hoping to have better success next year as I am not discouraged yet.
