Much Canning Done by Volunteer
Women Workers Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture.

ucts BE Utilized In New and Pa

Walter Reed Hospital.

Twenty-Five hundred and fifty quarts
Of canned vegetables. preserves and
jellies to tempt the appetites Of our
wounded boys In the Walter Reed hos
pital In Washington. rs well as hun
dreds OF bushels OF fresh fruit and
vegetables, Is the result Of summer
Of unceasing activity by women Of the
department Of agriculture interested In
this work.
At the Arlington farm. where is car
ried on governmental experimentation
with fruits and vegetables. there hns
been necessarily much waste product
In previous years. In order that accu-
rate observations during their entire
season might be made by the plant
specialists large share Of the fruits
and vegetables grown there had to be
allowed to come to full maturity on
the plants. Thus to large extant the
farms products were too ripe to be
marketed when their value to the SCI
enlist was ut IN end.
How Project Started.
To Mrs. David +. Houston, wife Of
the secretary Of agriculture, Is due the
credit for these products being utilized
In a new and patriotic way this year.
The Walter Reed hospital. filed with
our wounded from overseas, was to be,
II II could be managed, the recipient Of
all the surplus fruit and vegetables Of
the Arlington farm. Mrs. Houston
planned that all Of the products which
were In prime condition and which
could be used at once by the commits
, sary department Of the hospital should
be sent there directly. The surplus
was to be made by volunteers into
home dainties for the boys.
When II is realized that the lieuten-
ant In charge Of the commissary must
provide food for each soldier. wounded
or sick. at a maximum cost OF so cents
day, the exceeding value Of these
preserves and jellies to the diet of
the invalids there may be better ap-
preciated. Perhaps no other one thing
which has been done for the hospital
has been so much appreciated by the
boys themselves as this food. which
as they ( Id. "tasted like home and
mother" sent through the untirtng
work Of these women connected with
the department Of agriculture.
