MEAT AND VEGETABLE
COMBINATIONS CANNED
BY CLUB GIRLS

In order to use materials which
grow in their own vicinity, club
women and girls in the South have
been encouraged to develop unusual
packs of meat and vegetable or fish
and vegetable combinations, in whcih
they can incorporate homegrown
garden products according to stand
ard recipes available from the United
States Department of Agriculture
Particular attention has been given
to the development of dishes charac-
teristic of certain districts or States

and popular locally, which would at
the same time permit the use Of sur
plus meats and vegetables. BY using
recipes calling for veal or In which
veal could take the place of other
meats, surplus dairy calves, too ex-
pensivxe to feed, could be profitably
disposed OF. The same has been the
case with Gull chickens and surplus
garden vegetables. Some of the can
ned zone piece meals taught to the
club girls by extension agents are

and shrimp ''gumbos" of Louisiana,
also shrimp jambalaya", and several
combinations of vegetables with
chicken, used I'm Oklahoma. They are
put up wherever the necessary In
gradients can be obtained locally.
In many cases the club girls must
maintain gardens to grow the vege-
tables they expect to can.
