CANNING CLUB GIRLS
To VISIT WASHINGTON
Fifteen Winners Of Tomato Raising
and Other Contests Are to
Be Rewarded.
TO ARRIVE ABOUT DECEMBER IL

Fifteen girls, one from each OF fifteen
Southern States. soon will be given trips
to Washington as q reward for their
splendid work In connection with the
girls canning clubs, conducted under the
auspices of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. These girls are the
State winners in the various contests
that have been carried on and are the
pick Of about 5000 girls enrolled in the
canning clubs.
The canning club work was begun
three or four years ago by the Bureau
of Plant Industry, in cooperation with
various private agencies. Prizes have
been given before, but never have the
winners been sent in body to WASH
ington, although the State winners in
the boys corn clubs have been rewarded
in this manner.
While the Department OF Agriculture
does not supply the funds for the trips
which the young women will make, It
has arranged that the women agents
of the canning clubs shall be sum-
moned to Washington for a conference
at the same time that the girls visit
the Capital They will. therefore. be
called upon to chaperon the girls. and
will be in charge OF them during their
visit.
December 1 is the date on which this
conference Is new expected to be called
and on which the girls will probably ar
rive. They will remain four or FIVE days.
Each OF the 5000 girls enrolled in the
clubs is supposed to have car
ried out a definite project in gardening
on a tenth-acre plot. The girls have
raised tomatoes principally, but fire.
quently they plant string beans, cucum-
bers, peppers, okra, &c. In certain re-
gions figs are preserved: In others grape
juice is made. The raising of the vege-
tables or fruits is but one feature of
The work. When the family has been
supplied with fresh products and then
