iN TRIBUTE
—— e — e ————
In loving memory of our dear
grandmother, Mrs. Mary Smith,
who departed this lite December
13, 1935.
You have left us dear grandmother
And have joined the Angel bana.
You will sing with them forever
In that fair and happy land.
But we miss you. How we miss
you! ;
Since your dear, sweet voice is
stilled.
There’s a vacant place in our heart
and home
That can never more be filled.
You have left us sad and lonely,
And our heart is filled with pain.
But there ig one sweet consolation,
We shall meet you once again,
You are gone but not forever.
There will be a glorious dawn
‘We shall meet to part no more |
On the resurrection morn.
You have fought ilfe’'s battles
bravely
And a home in Heaven gained,
But Oh! how sad the parting
grandmother,
For death leaves a cruel sting.
Yet how peaceful is your slumber
Under God's protecting wing,
And sweet will be your waking
For death is only a dream.
All the short time we've spent to
gether,
All the happy, golden hours,
Shall we cherish in rememberance,
Fragrances sweet for memory's
flowers.
~—MRS. MERLE CHRISTIAN,
Hull, Ga.

Interior of Canning Plant, Baldwin High School,
Editor's Note: Following is a
story from December's Uni
versity Items. Thé story was
written by 11.. M. Sheffer,
state supervisor of agricultural
education, with offices at the
University of Georgia.)
During the last school year (July
1, 1934-June 30, 1935) the high
school departments of vocational
agriculture in this state, canned
2,250,000 cans of meats, fruits and
vegetables for home use. Many of
these departments have been equip
ped with modern steam canning
outfits in which thousands of
adults as well as boys received in
struction in growing, grading and
processing food for the farm fami
lies.
The community canning program
of the teachers of vocational ag
riculture in Georgia had its great
est inpetus in 1932, when the de
presdion was at its depth. At that
time the purchasing power of
farmers had been reduced to omne
third of what it was in 1229. lln
addition to caring for the immed
iate farm family nearly every
farmer had the extra burden of
caring for other relatives who had
moved in with him because they
had lost their jobs in the -cities,
3 Food Inadequate .
At ‘hat time it was exceedingly
important that each farm be as
nearly self-sustaining as possible
The cash income would not permit
buyving commercially canned goods
in any appreciable amounts. On
the other hand. the amount of la
bor and patience required to cam.
in glass, the surpluses from the
cardens, orchards and meat ani-
mals, made the canning of suffici
ent quantities of food to last
throughout the year practicalls
impossible. Furthermore—becaus¢
of the great losses from spoilage,
farm families had largely given up
attempting to can meats and the
non-acid vegetables at home. The
result was, therefore, that because
of the contracted income, farm
families in general were not being
adequately fed.
Prior to this time a number ot
teachers in vocational -agriculture
had already begun canning on a
community basis. This had been
given as a natural development of
the live-at-home program which
they had been teaching for a
number of years.
Sheds Equipped
In some cases the teachers had
equipped sheds where patrons of
the school could use steam boilers
and retorts in camning their prod
ucts: In other cases the teacher
would take his sealer and retort,
or pressure cooker, directly to the
farm home where the equipment,
though, could not meet the in
creased demand for canned prod
ucts. Tt was not much better than
the old time method which in
volved the kitchen stove. a few
pots and pans, and an inadequate
water supply.
According to dietitians, the fol
lowing quantities of canned foods,
in addition to fresh vegetables,
fruits and meats, are required to
provide a family of five with an
adequate diet for one year,

Furnishing thigs amount of cam
ned goods for each of the two to
| four hundred families living in a
community is, in itself, a small
sized community industry. Central
canning plants, operated on a
community basis, have proved to
be a most practical means of pro
viding such vast quantities of
canned products.
The effectiveness of the com
munity canning plants and the
soundness of the idea are eviden
ced by the steady growth and pa
tronage of canning classes. Dur
ing 1933-34 there were 115 canning
plants conducted by vocational de
partments that canned more than
{ 1,500,000 cans of fruits, vegetables
and metas. During 1934-1935 the
number of canning plants was in
creased to 138 with an adult class
enroliment of more than 6,000 A
‘total of more than 2,225,000 cans
of products were processed.
Many of the men teaching agri-
culture graduated from college be
fore canning oOn so extensive a
scale came into use. The necessi
tated their education aloag this
line.
To meet the demand for this ed
weatiop, Dr. T. J. Harrold, of the
College of Agriculture at the Uni
versity, has spent more than 240
hours giving short courses in can
ning to teachers of vocational ag
‘riculture. During these courses
,the vocational teachers ha Vve
studijed all the methods of proces-
Ising fruits, vegetables, and muts.
snd have checked the methods
‘with those developed in research
| Jaboratories of = commercial gon
]cerns. They have also set up
standards for grading and label
lting the various Kkinds of fruits
l\'eseublec, and meats, s
Idea Spreads )
It is interesting to note in this
connection tha the contribution o‘
the community cannitg plants to
{he live-at-home program was
viewed with such approval that
the idea has already spread to‘
other states. During the past
summer the state of South Caro
lina sent 125 teachers of vocation
al agriculture to visit canning
plants in Georgia and the plant at
the College of Agriculture to re
ceive training from Dr. Parrold
in operating community cunning
‘plants.
In Georgia the community can
;’ning plant is built around an edu
cational program. It is an integral
;part of the classroom instruction
‘for both high school students and
‘adult members of evening classes.
‘The subject is usually opened by
determining the quality of canned
products needed for each family
‘during the winter months. After
the canning budget is determined
the problems of amount Of land
needed, varieties to plant, cultural
practices, and harvesting are stud
ied. In many cases this is taken
as a home project.
Then, eanning becomes the final
job in the comprehensive program.
the aim of which is furnishing an
adequate food supply for the farm
family-

The community canning plant
has proved to be a nucleus around
which other community enterprises
have developed. For example, at
Dacula, as a result of the obser
vation that well fed cattle make
much better canned meat, the
community bought a hammer mill
and is now grinding feed on a
community basis. At Snellville a
leather working shop has resulted
from the canning of meats. Har
ness, bridles, and the like are
made in the shop from leather
which is obtained in exchange fx
the hides of the animals canned
in the plant,
