the first state in the Union 10 initiate
canning clubs" Not over half a doz-
ell years ago the first canning club
was started by Miss Ella Agnew in
Nottoway county. Last summer there
were canning club demonstrations in
SO counties in Virginia, and in so
counties there arc permanent "homc
demonstration agents" who not only
teach canning. preserving and the
putting up Of jams and jcllics, but
everything that has to do with the
'"d home economies.
Every state in the Union swung in
Inc hchinl Virginia last summer
with the result that hundreds of thous
ahds OF cans Of corn. tomatoes, beans
etc. were put up
This years corn canning opcrotions
IN the United States exceeds n pack
OF 100000 cases. Tomatoes were
injured by severe frosts throughout
most OF the Middle Wes, and the pack
is below normal. Corn and peas will
be the most plentiful canned goods
