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,

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.

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.
