Atlanta who is 1 hud been a member of the can ning club lour years, and eujoyed the work so much until I decided to make it five years. ( I did not wait for the county agent to ask me to join, but let her know that I was going to be a member of this year before she came to our school. I knew the pleasure and the ben efit to he obtained from it, and dur ing the winter months you will be supplied with canned goods. My garden is located on a southern slope, south of the barnyard. It con tains 4,356 square feet, 103 5/7 feet in length, 42 feet in width, making one- tenth acre. The soil is of a grey loam with clay subsoil. I selected my garden at this place, because I knew it to be rich soil and thought it suitable for the purpose. The last of April I had my garden broke up, harrowed and bedded. I thought this the best preparation, as the harrowing, bedding and breaking prepared the land best for seed beds and plants. I used a one-horse load of cowpeas manure, and 50 pounds of 9-3-3 guano. The manure -was spread broacast on the land and plowed in. The guano was put in after the rows were laid off, and then beded on it. The county agent sent me a pack age of tomato seeds, and also pep per seeds. I planted tomato seeds March 21st. I did not use the pep per seeds that she sent, because I saved seeds last year, and had plant ed them before I received the ones she sent. I filled a box and a bucket with good rich soil. I had these placed in the sun and planted my seeds in them. I kept it watered just enough to keep the soil damp and in a few days the tomato plants were up all over the box as thick as they could be. The pepper plants came up after tl\e tomatoes, because it takes them longer to come up. I had plenty of plants and gave some to my friends. I did not change the plants to a cold frame. April 30th, I planted five rows of beans and one row of okra. By the first of May my tomato plants were large enough to put out, so I transplanted 240 plants to my gar den. I had fine luck in doing ithis, as almost every plant I put outlived. 1 transplanted 73 pepper plants May 12th, also 73 plants the 15th. I did not have to replant many plants, but, when my beans began to have three and four leaves on them, the rabbits would eat them down. I asked my brother to kill them, which he did, then ^ I went and bought more beans and replanted them. I did not have as many beans as I thought I would, because they did not do well after they were replanted. After the plants began growing I loosened the soil around the roots of the plants with a hoe and then had them plowed. I did the hoeing, hut my brothers would plow for me. I had it plowed as often as was necessary and hoed it once or twice every two weeks. I did not prune or stake the plants, but think it would help the fruit to be larger and nicer. The worst insect I had was the “cut worm.’’ This and the dying of the plants were the only trouble I had. I replanted the plants. The cut worms di dnot bother the plants much after they grew awhile. I began harvesting my beans June 24tli. I gathered some tomatoes the 14th of July. I would gather my to- matooes and carry them to the house, weigh them and sort them out, using only ripe sound ones. I also grew beans, pepper, okra and cucumbers on my tenth acre. I used the “stringless green pod” beans and “pimento” pepper. I planted five rows of beans, two rows of pepper and one row of okra. My okra did not come up very good, so I planted cucum bers in the row of okra. The pepper plants grew fine and were full of peppers. I have pep per and green tomatoes at the pres ent time. mato plants and they are still bear ing, have gathered all tomatoes from c i e these plants ever since the first of July. All of the canning- and preserving, etc., that I did was by directions giv en in bulletins sent out by the gov ernment. When I intended to quired time, and took them out and put them into cold watei 1 ; after they cooled I set them away. The peppers are prepared quite dif ferently from tomatoes. I select ripe red ones, was hthem and take a knife, cut the stem out and remove seeds, put them in the stove and hake until the peeling will come off easily, then peel, pack immediately into sterilized jars or cans, seal and boil. We used the 4H brand label, but no one can use it except the club girls. The meaning of the emblem is “an equal training of the Head, Hand, Heart and Health.” The club has taught me many things about cooking vegetables; one is how long they should cook to he thorough ly done. I have used several of the recipes given in the bulletins; among them are yellow tomato preserves, ketchup, Dixie Relish, chutney and gingered pears. The Dixie relish is sure fine. I put up eight jars this year. I have found the peppers useful in many ways. My garden yielded a total of 1,366 pounds. We used 66 pounds at home. I sold 90 pounds fresh. I canned No. 1 cans of pepper, 30 No. 3 cans of beans, 22 No. 2 cans of beans, No. 3 cans of tomatoes, 109 No. cans of tomatoes, 11 pints of pepper, 3 10 ounce jars of chutney, 4 pints of Dixie relish, 6 10 ounce jars of Dixie relish from my garden. From the farm and orchard I canned one quart of tomatoes, one quart of beans, one quart of strawberries, one quart of peaches, one quart of pickled peaches, two jars of strawberry pre serves, three glasses of strawberry jel ly, two quarts of fig preserves. I did not can -much from the farm. I was going to school and my mother did most of the canning from farm and orchard. The work cost me $14.84; receipts were $50.99, and net profit was $36.15. There are many ways in which the club ha shelped me. It has taught me to can many different things, save all fruits and vegetables, best and cheapest way of canning, to be more patient with my work, that everything used about canning should be clean and thoroughly sterilized, to make ev erything come up to the standard which our club has adopted, and has been a great help to me in bookkeep ing. I have enjoyed all my work, and am going to send the- pepper .exhibit to the going to send the pepper exhibit, to the Southeastern Fair again this year. I have sent an exhibit to the fair the last two years. I won second prize the first year and first prize last ‘year. Hope I will do better this year. I have been a member of the pig club two years. I won first prize at the county fair last year. The pig’s name was Majestic Mistress the 4th, I sent her to the Southeastern fair. She weighed 26 pounds. The pig that 1 have this year is a Berkshire; her name is Epochal Grace. Just wish you could see her. I guess she will be at the Fair. Last year at the county fair I won four first prizes, first prize on pig, first on general garden work, first on fruit exhibit, best jar of peach pickle, best jar watermelon rind pre serves, best jar peaches. I have not had much fruit to can this year, but have canned all could. I like to he a member of the can ning club and pig club. I think I like poultry work, too. My. brother be longed to this club. GLADYS TARPLEY. A REAL MAN ft. is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you have an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has saved a little, who has a reserve at the Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn’t afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu lant to real manhoood. The larg er the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confi dence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever-present resource in time of need. It’s not what ^ man earns in a year that gives him a surplus, it’s what he saves. Don’t make the mistake of wait ing until-you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small.
