A New Era for the Girls of Comanche County
A county Tomato Club movement grows from 21 clubs and 220 members in 1912 to 10 clubs with 230 members in 1913. The author recalls early setbacks from cold weather, noting prize exhibits at the Chamber of Commerce and Dallas State Fair, plus earnings from tomato sales and home canning. She credits Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Palmer, and state networks for support, and mentions upcoming club demonstrations and recipes for readers of The Chief Exponent.
