TWENTY COUNTIES ORGANIZED
Report Of Girls Canning Club Work In
Oklahoma.

Oklahoma City. Okla. Dec. 37.-Ac-
cording to reports made by Miss EN-
ma A. Chandler. who has charge of the
Girls Canning Clubs in this state,
twenty counties were organized for
the club work this year The enroll
ment in these counties numbers 1,9l5.
This is an increase of eleven counties
and 740 members over the preceding
year In the course OF her report.
which was made to w. ID. Bentley. di-
rector OF extension and state agent
for the federal government, Miss
Chandler said:
There were seventeen women
agents in charge of the canning clubs
In the twenty counties. In each coun-
ty there were several sub-clubs. The
sub-clubs formed the county club. The
sub.clubs sometimes had as many as
twenty members, and sometimes only
five The number of club members
in a club depended upon transporta
tion facilities and the density of popu
| lation.
Seventeen of the twenty counties
have sent reports to the office o
Boys and Girls Clubs. These report,
show that there were 5.063 glass Jars
of fruit and vegetables canned 70,
home use. This means that many
families will have better and NOR,
food for winter use because man!
girls reported that the family has new
or canned vegetables before. Man!
families had their first garden thi
year"
| Estimated value of fruits and vege
tables produced and canned by th'
girls this year is s2,S1S.6o.

that would give them an enduring

A cotton foundation of three hun

not too large to serve worldwide in
terests, eliminate graft between the
cotton fields and consumers, fix and
stabilize prices and finance the crop
in the interest OF farmers, manufac-
turers and the consumers Under
wise and Just conditions the farmers
could save from waste and loss alone
in comparatively few years. three
hundred million dollars for a founda

The capitalization OF such founda-

terests OF our common country The
proposition is big enough for a fed
eral cotton commission with no less
character and ability than signalizes
the federal reserve board In our finan-
cial system. The national banks are
helped to help themselves by scien-
tific and cooperative helpfulness. The
farm is the primary source of wealth
Is there any reason why farmers
should not be helped to help them
selves by diversifcation and scientific
cooperation?
If the farmers will hold cotton and
reduce acreage fifty per cent, they will
have time to study the situation and
then the crop of 1916 would reward
them for their prudence and intelli
gence.
a campaign OF education should
interest and enlighten as to intrisic
value of cotton. its by.products and
other opportunities of the south for
thrift and prosperity.
