have been promised TO the housewives

to arrive here this week in prepara-
tion for these schools. There are
some fifteen girls in the Garden and

these schools are open to all interes'

who want to exhange ideas and pos

required TO be brought for canning.
The girls who are canning in prepara-
ton for the annual Fair and Corn

the schedule which calls for two days
at each place where there are Club
members and one day at the other
places. The equipment such as an
oil stove, utensils. and steam Gamer
will be carried along from place to
place. For the first days work at
each the girls will be asked to bring
enough peaches and tomatoes to put
up thee quarts of each. together
with glass jars and the sugar to can
the peaches. On the second day the
more difficult things TO can. such as
Lima beans. corn and other vegetables
will be used.
We hope the housewives will make
this a social gathering were they
may attend school for a daY or two
and exchange ideas with their neigh
