Plan to Create Two Benefit
Drainage Districts.

The canning department CT the
Boys State Industrial school Will be
in operation within three weeks, &C
cording to Superintendent Charles of
the school The first produce to be
canned will be string beans. Hundreds
of cans of beans are put Up each year
for consumption during the winter
months.
Last summer about $4,000 cans of
fruit and produce were put up by the
canning department of the school.
The strawberry crop at the school
is fine this year and the yield will be
abundant. Prospects also are good
for blackberries and raspberries. APP
Piles for canning purposes are pur-
chased on the open market as the
school has no orchard of it's own. In
the fall of 1914 sufficient apples were
canned by the boys of the school to
supply all of the other state institu-
tons.
