When such an expert as George Au-

which Is ''pipkin." There is beef In It

Each Girl Summarizes Her Summer
Work and Her Successes and Fail
ures i'm Gardening and Canning,
for Record i'm the Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Washington, ID. C.-The Canning
Club girls are making booklets de-
scribing their successes and failures
in gardening and canning during the
past year. These young women, uu-
der the supervision of the United
States department Of agriculture
Office of Farmers Cooperative DEM
onstration Work, have been busy dur
ing the summer Transforming the
products of vegetable gardens into
bank accounts, and supplying the
home table with frst-class products.
Now that the summer work is over,
they are outlining their methods in
detail in attractive booklets which
will be sent to Washington as a mat
ter of record for the department. The
club members have learned to be
bookkeepers along with their garden
ing, and have been keeping a daily
record book showing the progress of
their crops and the business accounts.
These records will be of great assist
ance to them in writing up a sum-
mary of their experiences. The as
sistant in girls demonstration work
has sent out letter to all the young
women, giving them suggestions re-
garding the making of these records.
In simple language of their own
choosing, the young women are adj
vised to write out all the interesting
things relating to their summers
experiences. The following subjects
are suggested to direct the general
line Of thought.
l. Why l joined the Canning Club
2. Description of my garden, size,
location, kind of soil, why selected.
8. Preparation of soil, best way
of doing this and reasons for same
a. The fertilizers used, kind, guam
tity, and when applied.
5. How tomato plants were grown
including hotbed and cold frame max
ing, transplanting, etc.
6. Cultivation, pruning and stalk

Z. Insects and diseases which at

them.

Don't Kill The Birds

"A bird in the farmers field is
worth three in the hands Of a hunter,
is the new adage of The Liberty Bell
Bird Club of the Farm Journal, which
is trying to educate the farmers and
fruit growers of the country to pro-
tect the song and insectivorous birds
now on their places and induce others
to come and stay.
Don't kill the hungry bird in your
field and orchard until you know
what it is AFTER" the club warns the
farmer and insists: Birds must be
studied so that Agriculturists may
know and protect from destruction
those birds which are of service to
them, and detect and drive away
those which do damage"
While not advocating this method
of bird study, The Liberty Bell Bird
Club points to the proofs of the Gov
eminent Biological Survey, which has
examined $4,000 birds obtained from
scientific collectors in the last twenty
five years, to show what and how
many destructive insects, birds with
big, healthful appetites will devour
