CANNING CLUBS
GET INFORMAT ION
FROM LECTURES
MISS. LoNNY LANDRUM GIVES
SERIES OF LECTURES AND
PRACTICAL DEMoNsTRA-
TONS.

In last weeks work of Miss Lonny
Landrum, the home demonstration
agent. another phase of her activi-
ties was brought to light. The work
as carried on under the supervision
of the agent is one of theory blended
with a certain matter -factness
which gives it a greater appeal to
the members of the clubs.
The work comprised a series of lee
lures and practical demonstrations as
applied to any home The work COW
cred three days and definite sched-
ule was adhered to, each subject being
taken up under its proper classified
ton.
On the first day meats were cooked
and demonstrations were made in the
use of the fireless cooker. Much in
terest was shown in these classes and
the lectures were largely attended.
The work not only covered the use of
but the building of these cookers, and
in the work of the girls the effects
of the lecture is fully shown, for in
teaching how they are built, even if
they cannst btffld them. it gives them
better understanding of the uses.
The second day was devoted en-
tirely to the teaching of bread max
ing. If any one day could be said to
have been more interesting than the
others, it was this day, for many Of
the girls belonging to the clubs stated
that they had never. been able to cook
anything like bread before and the
many individual successes amply
proved the value of the lessons.
The third day was given over to
subject which is of great importance
to the. Canning club girls, and which
was listened to by many who learned
a great deal about canning. Canning
in both tin and glass was demon
strated. Tomatoes, peas and dew
berries were preserved and canned,
and it is these lessons which win
have much to do with the popularity
of the All brand of canned goods
which win soon be on the Pensacola
market.
Miss Bandrum stated yesterday
afternoon that while the courses were
planned particularly for girls many
grown folks came and displayed as
much interest as the younger ones in
the lectures. It is impossible to visit
all in the county, she stated, and it is
necessary to hold joint club lectures,
talking to several clubs at the same
time. This limited time schedule
makes it necessary for all who would
like Miss Landrum to give them to
write her so that she may make her
schedule accordingly.
Many bulletins have been printed
and they are intended to supplement
this work IF the original lectures
have not been heard, they offer text
book which teaches the same rules,
and any or all can be had for the
asking from Miss Landruln, or calling
at the office and getting a supply
The time is rapidly approaching
for canning to start and from the
small donations received so far to the
loan fund, Miss Landr1m stated, a
canditiaH theSsane as last year may
prevail, for without cans it is impossi-
BILE to carry on the work.
The work of the demonstration does
not concern canning alone, but many
subjects which are of great import
ance to the home. Gardening viii soon
be taken up, and the work enlarged
flor with the bulletins printed it viii
render aid to many who have found
it impossible to get in touch with the
agent.
