HOME GAMERS
OUT FOR I,5OO,OOO.OOO
QUARTS nv 1913
Three Thousand Trained Demonstrators
to Help the Nation to
This Goal.

The home canning drive for 800, 000,-
600 quarts of put up" foods in 1918 is
on! Three thousand home -demonstra-
tion agents and leaders in boys and
girls club work in the United States
department of agriculture are ready to
help the nation to this goal. They have
started out to teach the nation to can
and to do a good job of it. In addition
to this number many thousands of vol
unteer leaders are working with these
extension forces of the department on
the summer campaign. Last year the
home Gamers put up S50,000,000 quarts,
il is estimated.
Leaders are being trained in the de-
partment's laboratories. This work will
continue all summer and expert demon
strators will be turned out to carry the
latest canning information into the field.
District meetings of home -demonstra-
tion agents have Just been held in all
the southern states to plan the sum-
mer's work and for special instruction
in canning and drying. These are be
ing followed by thorough county and
community organization and instruction.
In the north and west canning schools
for demonstrators are being conducted at
many of the state agricultural colleges
and in community centers.
Every canning club group among the
boys and girls clubs in the north and
west is organizing a demonstration team
of expert Gamers. These teams will
be uniformed and will give demonstra-
tions at public meetings in their com
munities. Over thirty thousand boys
and girls will take part in this work.
Ten manufacturers of rubber rings for
glass jars have raised the quality of
the rings to a standard required by the
department of agriculture This will be
an important factor in encouraging more
canning, for the assurance of good rings
will mean an increased output of canned |
products among the home Gamers.
Manufacturers of glass jars, stone |
crockery ware, tin cans and fibre boxes |
are also cooperating in improving their |
products and in securing a sufficient sup /
ply to meet the summers demands.
Sufficient sugar will be available this /
summer for home canning, according to 4
the United States food administration. l
The only requirement made Is for a /
signed statement thst the amount pur-
chased is to be used for that purpose.
Local regulations governing the maxi
mum amount of sugar for canning al
lowed to individuals during the season
are made by state food administrators.

TOBACCO SURPLUS
IS SATISFACTORY
There Is No Danger of Shortage, Ac'
cording to Government Report
Showing Increase of 12.o Per
Cent Over Last Year,

Washington, D. c., June 24.--Small
danger of tobacco shortage, despite tire
mendous amounts being shipped abroad
to the army, seems to be shown in re-
port on the industry by the bureau OF
the census disclosing that stocks on hand
at the beginning of this year amounted
to l,l76,234657 pounds, an increase OF
1919 per cent over last year.
Total production for 1917, was l,le6,-
as 900 pounds, of which 70 per cent was
chewing, smoking, snuff and export types,
10 per cent cigar types, and per cent
imported types. The leading individual
type was that produced in the bright
yellow district of Virginia, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina of which there
was reported 42s,9l3,604 pounds, or 365
per cent of the total. Burnley tobacco
contributed III ,206,sO0 pounds, or ISL
per cent; and the tobacco classed as
dark fired as grown in Clarksville, Hop
kinsville and Paducah districts amount
ed to III ,llS,386 pounds, or 10 per cent.
Leading tobacco states and the esti-
mated amounts grown by them are as
follows: Kentucky, 426,600,000 pounds;
North Carolina, 204,750,000 pounds; Vir-
ginia, l29,500,000 pounds; Ohio, 99,072,-
900 pounds Tennessee, sl,sl0,000I

South Carolina, 5l,l20,Oo0 pounds; Wis
consin, 45,ss5,000 pounds; Connecticut,
% $4,000; and Maryland, 1854 900
pounds. The acreage estimated for these
states ranged from $4,000 in Kentucky
TO 81 900 for Connecticut, and the pro
duction per acre from 400 pounds for
Connecticut and Pennsylvania TO $50
pounds for North Carolina. The higher
Yields are obtained, as a rule, in the
localities producing the high priced types |
used in the manufacture of cigars.
During the past three-quarters of a
century the growth in tobacco production
in the United States has not quite kept |
pace with that in population.

fond eccentricities, we go to the window
