Seyenty-five girls have already been
enrolled in the Canning Club. A poul-
try club has been organized at Cobb
and garden club at Leslie.
We appreciate the courtesies extend

for offered space, to Capt. Cobb for his
substantial gift, to Planters Seed
House" for their generous donation of
seed to the club; to Standard Oil Co.
for stove, and to Farm Canning Ma

accrues from doing.

We will work like Trojals this year
to make Sumter County Clubs measure
