FARMERS SHORT
COURSE At A. & NJ.
Girls Work Discussed BY Miss Garter
and Charlton BY Or, MorsteIIar.

Members OF the girls canning and
poultry clubs in Texas are to receive
instruction in something more than
canning. Beginning with August the
instruction given these girls will in
clude thorough work in domestic sci
ence, according TO Miss Bernice Car
ter. in charge OF the girls club work
under the Joint direction Of the A.
and NJ. College and the United States
department OF agriculture.
Heretofore the girls have been given
instruction principally in canning toma.
toes, although they have been given
some instruction in preserving other
vegetables and fruits" said Miss Car
, ter today in her talk before the domes-
tic science division OF the Farmers
Short Course at the A. and NJ. College.
But the field is too broad for the
agents to oonfine themselves strictly
to that program. We are planning
now for each agent TO give her girls
thorough work in domestic science
That is one reason why we urged all
of our canning club supervisors tc
attend the short course where they
could be instructed properly by Miss
Emma A. Chandler Of the department
and by Miss Neale Of the College Of
Industrial Arts.
Every girl in the country districts
should be given some instruction IN
the preparation Of foods, providing
well balanced ration for human
consumption. She also should b
taught how to become neat and eco
nomical housekeeptr and how Il
brighten and beautify her home. Then
too, she may reduce to great extent
