aDIxIE BURGOO" WINS SUCCESS
AS All SPECIALITY IN SOUTH

The encouragement Of canning club
girls In the production OF special south
ern dishes attractively prepared for
the market has been feature Of ex-
tension work throughout the South.
The home denomination agents have
found enthusiastic interest In the can
ming Of the dish known as Kentucky
Burgoo", which lately has been taught
IN Texas, Alabama, South Carolina,
Louisiana and Virginia II Is desir-
able that any products which the club
girls put on the market be distinctive
and different from ordinary commerce
inl products and also that the abundant
local foods be utilized to the utmost
extent. "Dixie Burgoo" is the trade
name adopted by the girls for the "a
II, brand Of this famous old dish. It
meets both requirements, In that u Is
unusual, and contains in delightful
combination Goods easily obtained In
most southern localities. Originally
"burgoo,r or "burgout", was the name
applied by French sailors TO oatmeal
porridge; In Kentucky 1t has long been
used TO designate q combination OF
meats and vegetables. The meat for
merly included game, such as squirrel
ard rabbit, for which, however, veal
and chicken are substituted In the
Dixie Burgoq, which contains also the
usual vegetables-tomatoes, carrots,
onions, celery and cabbage. Corn has
been omitted because Of the difficulty
of securing corn Of uniform quality.
The recipe for Dixie Burgoo can be
