Fig Preserves.

Miss Eva Legett, county Home
Demonstration Agent, and Mrs. F. A.
Eldred, of A. & M. College, have been
calling on different club members Of
Lincoln County organizing Fig Pre-
serve Clubs.
This work was started last year
under the auspices of the Home Eco
nomics Department of A. & M. Col
lege. Many demands came to the
above department for fig preserves
Of high grade. Few of these were
for sale, club members merely put
ting up enough to supply their home
needs. A survey was made by the
Marketing Department and 1t was
found that the shelves Of the leading
merchants Of Mississippi were filed
with flg preserves that had been pre-
pared in California. Investigation
further showed that in South Missis-
sippi, in Adams county, especially,
that quantities of figs fell from the
trees each year during fig season and
spoiled. The idea of conserving this
surplus crop of figs was conceived by
the directors Of the work.
A demonstration of this project
was carried out in Adams county
with the result that approximately
5000 II OF. Jars of Fig Preserves
we're prepared for market by Sept.
1, 1921. These we're all sold by
Nov. /, at so cents per jar, or $500
per dozen. The sale of these pre-
serves brought into Adams county
between $4,000 and $4,000. An av-
erage of so per cent on the money
invested was realized by the ladies
who undertook the work. The la
dies who were interested in the pro-
ject last year say that they are go
ing to double their efforts this year
and not fig will go to waste in 1922
in Adams county.
The above demonstrated so clearly
that there is practically an unlimit-
ed market for high grade fig pre-
serves, that it has been decided to
put the project over in all the or
ganized counties of Mississippi where
figs grow abundantly enough to
make an undertaking possible. Miss
Legett will be glad to enroll any wo-
man or girl in Lincoln county who
would be interested in preserving
figs for market. The conditions gov
erning membership in these clubs
will appear in Wednesdays issue of
The Leader. The marketing Depart
ment of A. & NJ College will help
with the marketing of all products
that come up to the required COM
mercial standard.

Parent Teachers Wednesday.

The Parent-Teacher Association
will meet at the Public School at

Mrs. w. D. Davis, chairman of the
program committee for this meeting,
announces book shower for the
school library, and she and Mrs. D.
e. Bennett, the president of the or
ganization urgently request the do
nation of books in the recommended
Reading Course of the High School.
Parents of former High School stu
dents are asked to give such books
as they may have purchased for their
children's recommended reading
while they in the High School, as
the small number of copies available
in the city and school libraries
makes it exceedingly difficult for all
the students of class to read the
works selected.
1t is desired to obtain as many
copies as possible.
