Missouri improvements

about Is years helping in that

And about his running the ex
pertinent farm of Wright county,
that is no dream. have lived in
Wright Co., Mo, several years,
and been acquainted with it's con
ditions about 80 years and I have
never seen a single farm put in
as good shape for convenience of
fields to water, as every field, ex-
cept his night COW pasture, is
fenced so his stock, when pas.
tured in them, can go direct to
pure spring water. There are TO
nasty ponds on this farm. Fur
thermore, | have never seen a
farm in Southern Missouri as
free of stone as Mr.. Foote'S, and
as smooth meadows. Mr.. Foote
and son, Homer, have been here
only 10 days over IA years to do
this work of fencing, building
the house, finishing the barn and
hauling the stone off of every
field they have plowed and have
taken three crops off of their
fields in the IA years, and prob
ably had in more grain this year
than any of their neighbors put
in with one team.

TRIBUTE TO
DIR. WHALEY.

A rarely charming ard lcvable per-
sonality passed in the death Of the
Reverend PercivaI II Whaley- His
faith was real, his reason clear ard
his mind truly cultured He was q
good friend and a devoted pastor. He
had understanding Of men and . fine
sympathy for their Joys and sorrows,
and he had that vision Of the divine
which Is neither feeting nor uneer-
tain, because IL Is not 50 strained a.
to blind nor sorrow as to weary with
its holding.
He had a comprehendfng mind,
richly stored with treasure Of its own
searching; q fine appreciation Of let
tiers and a facility Of speech and
writing that gave great charm to his
company. Perhaps best Of all. he had
a sense of proportion. He was an adj
mirable and kindly type Of the hu-
manist who reads the story Of hts kind
equally in ancient lore and living
souls. An illumined spirit has gone
into the light.-Charleston Post.

string beans, cucumber pickle, fig pre-
serves, all canned by herself from
her home garden, besides corn bread,
pork and turnip greens, the latter
raised by herself in her little plot of
ground. Now, ! think this demon
strates better than almost anything
else just what is the ultimate aim of
our work. The canning club work
is especially designed to arouse am
bition and to promote industry-in
other words, we want to introduce
home economics into every home we
can reach in Florida, especially in
the rural communities where our work
particularly lies.
eve believe that the canning club
work and the boys corn clubs have
wonderful possibilities. This work
gives the boys and girls chance to
make money right at home on the
farm. Instead of sending their money
out of the state, they are keeping
much of the money that would be
sent away for canned goods here Iii

canning and preserving and the home
products back to their proper place
on the farm, where everything that
can be raised should be raised, and it
is moreover creating a new market
for the farmer, who is not forced to
look only to the sale of his crop as
soon as it is produced, but is enabled
to make good profit on his surplus
vegetables and fruits by not only
supplying his home table, but the
market as well.
Zone demonstration of this may be
given in what one club of eight girls
did in Walton county. The canning
club put up 5000 jars of preserved
figs, for which they received five hun
dred dollars. The order was placed
before the fruit was even canned, and
there was splendid profit in it.

Shong, who paid her way last year at

Mss WARREN. STATE AGENT,
IN PENSACOLA.

Mics Myrtle Warren, Of the Flori-
da Wonanss College, spent yesterday
n the city, IN the interest Of the
Home Economics department of the
college. Miss Warren is state agent
for the Girls Canning and Home DEM
onstration work, which IL an impor-
tant part Of the college curriculum,
and Is on tour through Florida,
where she has been conducting work
classes and arousing interest in the
canning work.
Miss Warren is guest at the San
Carlos hotel, and in ar interview
spoke most interestingly Of her work,
and what it means both now and in
the future to the girls of the state.
Everyone is more or less familiar
with the canning club work" said
Miss Warren. "of course you know
that one-tenth of one acre is planted
by each girl, and records. are kept of
all work, the amount of fertilizer
used, and amount canned.
"Some of the girls have raised
large quantities of vegetables and
have put up hundreds Of cans of to-
matoes and other products of the
farm, but this is by no means the
most important feature of this work.
''Take as an example the work of
little girl who failed on her tomato
crop last year. She put up only ten
cans of tomatoes, and so was ranked
as failure, and her report of course
was not even included in those sent to
Washington. took dinner with that
child some months ago. She lived
right in "the. sticks" but she served
that day for dinner tomatoes, corn
