Does 1t pay for county to hire a

tor to teach the girls on the farm to
grow fruits and vegetables and then to
preserve them in cans for winter con-
sumption? Take a look inside the Car
ter County Court House tomorrow and
the answer will be fairly shouted
back at you When the work was start
ed few years ago, there was scarce
ly young girl in Carter County out
side the influence of the school where
home economics were taught, that had
the slightest idea of scientific canning.
Now the exact opposite is the rule,
scarcely a household in the rural dis
tricts of this county but what has felt
the effect OF this training until to-
day the girls clubs of this county have
established a statewide reputation as
Gamers, and their stuff that has been
shown from year to year at the state
fair, has always received the highest
commentator. The annual exhibit is
being held at the county court house
at present, the display will remain
there until Tuesday night in order to
give the ladies of the city an oppor
tunity of inspecting it, after which it
will be taken to the state fair at Okla
homa City.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon Mrs. Niblack who is at the head
Of the girls clubs in the county, and
to Mr.. Scott, who as county agricul-
tural agent working under the United
States department of agriculture has
organized the boys cotton, cora and
pig clubs. for the work they are do
ing in the county toward making the
farm better and more attra active
place to live. The result of this work
has been morethan satisfactory and
from the beginning made by the boys,
the fathers are taking pattern and
more cotton and corn is being raised
per acre than ever before, as will be
demonstrated this year when the acre
age has been decreased over 50 p. cent,
and yet the yield promises to exceed
the total of last years wagon receipts,
and more and better hogs are like
wise being raised that will reduce the
cost of living of the farmer materially.
The ladies of the city donated a
nice lunch to the boys and girls clubs
yesterday and the products will be on
display today, Monday and Tuesday
in order to give all who desire, an OPP
portunity of inspecting it.
The products will be classified and
the judges will award the premiums
