was appropriated Agricultural Agent
A. G.. Graham secured 800 of the

Scott was employed to carry on
the work. She was assisted by
Mrs. Mary V. Niblack and this coun-

in the state and also in the United
States in the organization of clubs
among the girls. Mrs. Scott has
given canning demonstrations in
several portions of the county dur

what can be done, have purchased
canning outfits and will make a

tomatoes. beans and fruits.
The different clubs have their
club colors which adorn exhibits at
the county fair held here and will
be taken to the state fair. The
cans have beautiful labels and pre-

Mrs. Scott has done exceptionally
fine work and there is no way
to estimate the good that will ulti-
mately result from her work in the
