Canning club production in both Ar
kansas and West Tennessee was greatly
reduced last year by a severe drought.
1t was not Eossible to get a fun report
on Tennessee. as Miss Virginia P.
Moore, state home demonstration agent,
could not be present because Of illness
in her family.
Mr.. Pate declared that the successful
marketing OF large quantities OF can
ming club products In open markets
would depend upon getting a live brok-
err TO act for the clubs and turning out
a product to suit the trade. He rec
commended a standard tomato OF deep
red color.
Those present representing the can
ming clubs were: Miss Susie V. Powell,
assistant home demonstration agent for
Mississippi; Miss Mary e. Johnston,
state canning club agent for Missis-
sippi. Miss Connie Bonslagle, state
agent for home economics, Arkansas;
Miss Ruth Arey, canning club agent for
West Tennessee. Jackson, Tenn, and

ton agent, Shelby county.
