The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1915-01-19

Certain clubs which had been spe-
! cializing on tomatoes decided that
there was possibility in pimentoes
which are not so generally grown and
which are canned in practically nc
other parts of this country, the nam
canned product here being imported
from Spain and Mexico. Since the
product of these young women mas
been put on the market requests have
come from As states for information
regarding the canning and culture OF
this valuable food product which the
American people in general do not
yet understand.
$4,000 Profit.
The total profit of all the South
Carolina club girls for past year was
over $4,000. Every agent who as
sists the girls is a college graduate
who has received special domestic
science training. Home demonstra-
ton work is a feature, the motto be-
ing do one thing at a time" There
was. for instance, a homemade fire
less cooker campaign which lasted
for three days in one section and re-
suited in a hundred homemade cook
ers being put into use. A fly trap
campaign is to be next in order, and
after that a butter-making cam
paign.
Value of a Name in South Carolina.
Two sisters in North Carolina have
established such a reputation for
their canned fruits and vegetables
that they cannot fill the demand. The
rules of the agent in charge of the
North Carolina work make it neces-
sary that the name and address of
every club member go on every can
she puts on the market. GIVE me
a can of Mabel Norris tomatoes, or
Give me a can of Agnes Norris
peaches" requests the housewife of
the grocer in the section where these
two sisters sell their products. These
young women no longer put up their
product in glass, but in tins, their
name on the outside being sufficient
guarantee for the appearance of the
product.
Helps Father Who Can't Sell Cotton.
Annie Davis, who last year was
the grand champion girl of Texas and
came to Washington with the other
champions, has this year come to the
aid of her father who raised cotton
crop and couldn't sell it. She had
saved up her money to take a course
at an industrial school, but the cot
ton crisis came along and her money
was given to help the family This
young woman from the funds which
she earned last year has purchased
her father a team of horses and
wagon.
The Texas girls have shown an I'M
usual interest in poultry in addition
to their canning and garden work.
This is only the first year of the poul-
try work, but already $50 young
women have accomplished actual re-
suits, and in not a single case did the
girls fail to make profit. The result
has been that in many cases the
whole flock of poultry on a farm has
been turned over to the daughter
The marketable value of infertile
eggs has been emphasized, for in the
past great quantities of eggs were
sent to the market when they were
beyond the point of using.
$3.50 From Turkeys.
One girl cleared last year $3.50
from her turkeys and 1888 from her
chickens. In addition, being an all
round farmer, she has made a profit
from her garden and canning work.
This young woman's success has evil
IDENTIFY made an impression on her
father, for during the past year he
has reduced his cotton acreage one
half and has put in vegetable prod
ucts. These are not for home use
alone, for he has installed a small
home Gamer and the whole family
are going to help in canning the stuff
for market
