Here is another exhibit" and Miss
Powell held up a photograph showing
a county fair display of 1,730 tins
of tomatoes put up by one girl. who
had entered college as a result of her
sales.
There is, besides. a knowledge of the
direct work in hand much purposeful
manual training for the girls in all of
this work because they must design
and make baskets and boxes for con-
tainers of these products for the mar
kets. Some beautiful baskets of this
kind have already been made of native
material incidentally there has been
good work done in sewing instruction.
because the club members make the
towels, holders, aprons, caps and uni
form dresses for use in the kitchen and
on public occasions.
Now the time has come when the
women are eager to make some demon
strations themselves, for, interested in
the products put up by the girls and
studying with them the best means of

utilizing such products. they have de-
veloped the desire to do something on
their own behalf. and the department
is ready for this expected development.
THE women are encouraged to begin
with chicken raising, which is much
better suited to women than to chill
dren. Poultry products are used very
extensively in farm homes and there
should be a large surplus for sale on
every farm. Instructions are given in
testing and grading eggs, in shipping
by parcel post and express. and in the
average community it is not difficult
to get the women to grade and sell CO.
operatively, for the purpose of finding
larger and steady market.
egg selling associations are being
organized and put upon solid basis,
and the following letter from a Mis-
sissippi agent is typical of poultry
work in several states. This agent
writes: There are now fifty co-opera-
tive egg-selling associations and ju-
nior poultry clubs. One of the asso-
Citations. with packing center at Cen
terville. has a membership of seven
teen. This association has sold over
$500 worth of eggs at prices ranging
from 20 to 25 per cent above market
prices. Another association has a
membership of twenty. The secretary
manager is paid 2 cents per dozen for
packing They have sold S.S15 dozens,

the products.
q. .'Of course, il is realized that it will
be necessary for the girls to take care
of a great deal of surplus fruits from
the orchards at the same period that
they are canning their demonstration
garden products, but the experience
required in putting up the vegetables
will make them more capable Of prop
erly canning the fruits.
I'm some cases 1t has been found ad-
visabIe to substitute from nve to ten
fruit trees for one of the vegetable
crops after the first or second year.
The club member is then responsible
for the pruning, spraying and general
care of the trees, In this case, when
the club girl reaches her fourth year
her plat is set to perennials, part of
which will be In good bearing. 1t is
the idea of the department that IL the
girl then leaves home to ga to high
school or college this perennial plot
will be cared for by those she leaves
behind as sort Of memorial of her
diligence. devotion and perseverance,.
Another feature of the club work is

tions may be begun after the products

OF course the recent Mexican war
clouds have had the effect of demon
strating the military value of Fort
Sam Houston with the result that the
entire nation has become acquainted
with this far southwestern military
station: but the Importance of San AM
tonic as a military center was discov-
cred more than two hundred years ago
by the farseeing Spaniards who orig
inally came from Mexico to develop the
wilderness north Of the Rio Grande.
In the old days when the Franciscan
Fathers directed the construction Of
missions throughout the southwest
they builded them so that they could
be used as military fortresses II this
should ever be necessary. A result was
that the ancient Mission San Antonio
de Valero. which subsequently became
known as the Alamo. was a fortress

of San Antonio was emphasized and

mobilization of troops of the regular
army in the Southern Department
brought hundreds of other officers to
that post.
In 1898 when Col. Theodore Roosevelt
organized his famous regiment of
Rough Riders" San Antonio was the
mobilization point and had 1T been nee
essary for the colonel to organize a
brigade for service in Mexico, was
widely reported in news dispatches, the
colonel probably would have selected
San Antonio again, as already the
chamber of commerce of that city had
placed at his disposal all necessary
ground and camp site facilities.
Step by step, upon recommendation
of various army officers, the govern
ment has developed Fort Sam Houston

The work is as yet SO new that re-
