The canning, picking and pre-
serving will not only supply the
rural home with fresh canned veg
etables, but will enable the girls in
the rural districts to get u little
"pin money" in her own home. 1t
is estimated that fully 40 per cent
of the products of the gardens and
orchards now in existence are
wasted and lost to the family be-
cause no direction has been given
as to the proper methods of saving
the surplus products by the use OF
simple and inexpensive home can
ming outfits.
1t is hoped that through the
Girls Industrial Clubs not only
the lost products will be saved, but
the acreage of home gardens will
be increased, thus supplying. not
only the home, but the local mar
kets with better grade of fresh
and canned home products, instead
of sending their earnings of the
year to foreign markets for theil
table supplies, which can be grown
and packed at home at the rate OF
several hundred quarts a day and
with small expense.

Enrichment of Rural Life
Through the Public School
BY Miss Virginia p. Moore.

The object of this article is to
stimulate and intensity the import
ance of this interesting subject.
Dean Bailey Of Cornell Univer-
sity says the general elementary
schools can not teach trades, occu-
pations or professions, bat they can
use the materials of trades and
occupations as one of the aids to
scholarship; and, while doing SO,
they may give such "set' toward
occupations as will attract all
youth and will at the same time
make them more efficient in their
own behalf and also in behalf Of
civilization.
In ali agricultural community,
for example, all the farms in the
neighborhood will afford training
in the elements of failure or sue
cess. There is no reason why the
pupils should not know why and
how a man succeeds with his Or
chard or dairy or factory, as we'll
as to have the cyclopedia informa-
tion about the names of capes and
mountains, dates and the like; and
why should not every good farmer
explain his operations ro the pu-
pills? Such work, If we'll done,
would vitalize the school and lift
it clean out of the ruts of tradition
and custom.
1t is hoped that the Boys Corn
Club and Girls Industrial Club,
or Tomato Club, as some choose
to call it, will help to make wholly
new enterprise of the school, rem
.dering it as broad and significant
as the community itself. 1t is the
elementary and country schools
that reach the very springs of life.
The Girls Demonstration Club
work is very new. The first work
inaugurated was in the summer OF
1910 in connection with the Boys
Corn Club work in South Carolina.
The United States Department
of Agriculture has seen the great
and far-reaching benefit of the
Boys Corn Clubs throughout our
Southern States. The boys have
demonstrated that, with proper
care of the soil, proper selection OF
seed, etc, as much as 22Sa bushels
of corn can be produced on al acre
whereas the average farmer pro-
duces only so busheles to the acre
Not only is this training the boy
for the future, but his father anc
other members of the family are
being taught in a concrete way

q little more than a year ago say
"Something must be done for the
girls. We are training the boys
for the farm, but we are doing

Secretary Wilson shows That 100000
Miles Of Public Thorouehfarcs
Need Betterment.

According to information Just made
public by the director Of the Office OF
public roads, Indiana leads oil the
states Of the Union in mileage Of I'M.
proved roads Most OF the improved
roads Of Indiana and Ohio are com-
posed Of gravel and were, for the
most part, built by farmers in working
out the taxes. The eight leading good
roads states are: Indiana, Ohio, New
York. Wisconsin, Kentucky. Illinois,
California and Massachusetts.
The states which are leading in pro
gressive road building are: New
York, Georgia, Washington, Missouri
South Carolina, Alabama, Pennsyl
vania, Tennessee, New Jersey, Florida
and Maryland.
That the nationwide movement
for the improvement of the public
roads involves large undertaking Is
indicated by information just made
public by the u. s. department OF
agriculture. Secretary Wilson shows
that 100000 miles OF roads must be
improved before the public road sys-
tenn can be considered really efficient
It is only within recent years that
the movement for better roads has
gained force. The consequences OF
delay are shown In the fact that there
are now but 190,476 miles Of improved
roads in this country. These improved
roads constitute s.66 per cent. Of the
total mileage CT all public roads. inn
proved and unimproved It Is figured
that the percentage will have to be in.
creased to 20 before traffic can be
moved throughout the country with
the minimum OF wear and tear on
horse, wagons and automobiles.
The French system of roads, long
considered the best in the world, was
bonded by Napoleon III. for $6,000,-
600, and something in the neighbor-
hood of $612,775,00O has already been
spent on that system. In this country.
owing to the great distances, it is
probable that close to $2,O00,O00,000
will have to be spent before a proper
road system is developed
While the amount necessary to per-
feet great road system seems fabu-
lousy large, it does not seem too large
when 1t is divided among the various
states and spread over a period of
ive, ten or fifteen years When 1t
is considered that New York state
has bonded itself for $4,000, 900
and that 100000 a year is now
being expended by that state, it will
be seen that a nationwide system
might soon be perfected were all
states to progress as rapidly.
South Carolina, Alabama and Flor
ida have also made great gains by
building sand-clay roads, and this is a
very cheap and satisfactory type O.
