as =80 bushels and better the acre.

LUSCIOUS TOMATOES GROWN NEAR
LURE APPETITE
Cedar Springs Growers Now Marketing Largest
Crop Ever Produced
Falls county tomatoes, the big luscious variety, are luring the appetites of
Marlin people these days. They are extra good in quality.
Especially from the Cedar Springs section, a community which apparently has the
largest yield in its history, considerable quantities were brought to the Marlin
market Saturday.
Fresh from the field, these tomatoes are described as being of the most tempting
quality and with the large quantities available, housewives are devising a
variety of forms for serving them while they are available in such good
condition.
Tomatoes grown in Marlin trade territory are declared superior in quality to any
available, it being only a matter of minutes to bring them from the field to the
consumer's table.
In buying liberally of these tomatoes Marlin will tend to make even more
attractive the market it affords for farm products of this section not only
helping the farmers to dispose of the bumper crop but providing a palatable dish
that would grace the table of the most exacting epicure.
The same can be said of the Blue Ridge and other areas producing this year fine
tomatoes.
