HOME DEMONSTRATION NOTES.

The Lafayette County Home DEM
onstration Council met Saturday af-
ternoon in Oxford and passed upon
several important matters relating
to the proposed opening of the Sales
Room for Women's products. Mrs.
Minnie Porter as president gave some
interesting statistics relating to the
work accomplished last year in Home
Demonstration Work in Mississippi.
It was surprising to learn that the
canned products put up by women
under the direction of the Home
Demonstration Agents were valued at
81 ,408, ,226.35. The amount of pro-
ducts marketed for women by Home
Demonstration Agents was $348, ,581.-
80. The poultry products alone pro-
duced by girls and women in the
clubs were valued at 1901, ,943.56. 1t
gave the members of the council
pleasure to know that Lafayette
county women had a share in this
great work of food production and
conservation. After adjournment the
members of the council went over to
the Bank of Oxford to inspect the
tneg Sales Department.
Why not plant row of sugar beets
in your garden and supply some
sweetening for next winter? If
there should be plenty of sugar, your
hens and hogs will enjoy the beets.
Two members of the county Home
Demonstration Club have entered the
Better Kitchen Contest Of the South
lem Ruralist Whether they get
prizes or not they will have the satis-
faction of having convenient kitchens
in which to work.
The club meeting at Hopewell was
a splendid example of how much the
country housewife gains by discus
sing her problems with others who
have thought about the same things.
Mrs. Simms was hostess to the
Woodson Ridge Club last Friday af-
ternoon. They made willow baskets
and enjoyed the social pleasure of
getting together and discussing plans
for summer work. One feature was
the big truck load of women and
girls that Frank Goolsby brought to
the meeting.

meeting of Orrwood club last Thurs
day. The meeting was full Of en-
thusiasm and will probably result in
the purchase of pressure cookers by
several ladies who were charmed with
the quick and efficient work done in
the demonstration.
The club meeting at Taylor last
Thursday was very interesting on ac-
count Of the excellent reports render
ed by the club members of their pro-
gress in the work of the year.
After the club meeting. Miss Doney
gave. nutrition lecture to the mem
bers of the Home Science Glass. The
Thacker community came directly
from the fields to the club meeting
and thoroughly enjoyed it all includ-
ing the games played on the school
grounds. Mesdames Walker and Tip-
ton gave the making of sausage and
canned the product. Baxter .Massie
makes a fine president and the club
expects him to lead them on to bet
ter work.

While the Illustrations and the lee
turc were designed as an ADVERTISE

yet it was so skillfully arranged and
so entertaining and carried 50 much
interest and inspired 50 much good
thought, that one forgot the adver'

The pictures showed how the cash

work. The business was saved by IN

and the establishment OF a school fot
