Before leaving. Miss Edwards fur
nished the Tribune-News with the
toTlowing statement, which is in the !
stature of a brief resume of her work j
in Bartow- county We are sure it will j
Me read with a grea t deal of interest j
toy scores of friends she made:
'To the Women and Girls of Bartow 1
County:
-\s i leave the Home Demonstration
work in Bartow county to take up the
work in my home county. I feel that it
is necessary to say a few things about
the work (lone last year.
J eonsider it by no means a failure.
Mi though we have no glaring figures to
sshow, but f think that the work was
ru'f fully appreciated by some. Perhaps
that is > fault of mine, in that 1 did
mot give more lengthy explanations,
sltul insist upon a thorough review of
. 'dily field reports, but having had the
tc k for several years in the county,
I thiMicht it was generally understood.
1 am not complaining, but stating
t:: As, when I say that the position as
K..ne Demonstration Agent in Bartow
<c.,.-nty was one of the very hardest in
the state to fill, having to succeed a
very efficient worker, going there as a
eirunger to all; and having to make
my way into the schools, homes, and
communities alone, which was by no
means an easy thing to do. Only those
who have experienced this can apprec
iate- what I am saying. Happy was 1 to
find people, and in large numbers, who
were very kind anfl appreciated the
work. It was the privilege of every
community to have the work, but some
alkl not ask for it. and it was impos
sible to devote a great deal of time to
any one community, because of the

In some communites where the wo

regular meetings were held and a great

The work done by the Canning Club

worthy of notice.

Mary Kate Rogers, and Sara Frances

twill receive like certificates. These
j girls have continued faithfully through
j the work, and will be a great source
of help to other young girls.
I There are other girls who have not
, been in the work so long, but have
■ done splendid work in the few years
j that they have been club members,
j and are climbing upward. -One of these
I is Eugenia Milam, the daughter of Mr.

I high standard that they were chosen to
! be sent to Washington to make up the
permanent exhibit there. Eugenia is
a third year club member and will fin
ish the course this year. The story of
last year’s work don'e by these two
girls will he found in this issue of The
Barlow Tri hu ne- News.
| Through the County Board of Edu
j cation, higher standards have been pro
duced and a greater production of poul
try products was encouraged through
out the county.
As I leave the work in the hands of
such a capable worker, t hope that she
will receive the encouragement and
co-operation that 1 did. I wish to ex
press my appreciation of the kindness
es and co-operation that I have re
ceived. It has been a year of profit
and pleasure, successes and failures,
and it is with regret that I leave a
people that I learned to love and serve;
hut looking forward with a great deal
of pleasure to my work with people
whom I already know and love, and a
county that has always mothered me.
Yours, most sincerely,

Interesting Garden Stories
In connection with .Miss Edwards
work, we are permitted to publish the
"Garden Stories, written by Miss Em
mie Xelson and Miss Eugenia Milam,
both of which have atrac.ted consider
able attention because of the inter-
esting manner in which they have told
of their activities as Canning Club
members.
GARDEN STORY
By Eugenia Milam
On day in the early part of tin* rear
nineteen-eishteen, Miss Lula Edwards,
oui County Demonstration Agent, cajpe
out to Euharlee to see if any of us girls
and boys wanted to join the Canning
ami Poultry Clubs. 1 liked the work
that we had in the canning club last
t ear so I joined again.
On March eighth I sowed my
first tomato seed, and every night, i
Would water them. One morning J went
to look at them hoping to find some
plants, and I did find them just push
ing out of the warm earth.
I watched them and on the third of
•April I round they were ready to trans
plant. There was not as many plants
as 1 would need. Bo I planted some
more seed in the garden, close to the
house, where I could watch them more
closely. This was on the sixteenth of
April.
One day early in April my sister and
I went with papa to select the ground
for our plants. My sister is a canning
club girl also. We selected a loamy flat
and thought we-had it far enough from
the house, but after it was too late
we found that the chickens pecked a
few of our tomatoes.
My plat was plowed and commercial
fertilizer and stable manure were used.
Then it was harrowed and laid off.
My plat was ready for the plants then.
On May the tenth 1 took my plants
from the large box which 1 had trans
planted them in and set them out in
the plat. The rows were about three
feet apart. At different dates 1 set
out six rows of plants. This was half
my patch and about a fourth of a row
of pimentoes. r
Jue the twentieth 1 sowed three
i rows of lima beans.
I 1 hoed my tomatoes two or three
I times and pimentoes four times and
I hoed the lima beans once. My tomatoes
were plowed tw r o times and the lima
beans four times and the beans twice.
One morning in June I went up to
my plat and saw some yellow blooms.
Not very long after that I went
upto my plat and saw my first ripe
ones and after that came the gather-,
ing. I gathered nine hundred and ten
pounds, and have a few more to gath
er. I have gathered fourteen pounds of
dry lima beans and sold eight gal- |
lons of lima beans to the stores in
Cartersville.
Well, when July the thirtieth came I :
had three rows to sow so 1 bought some j
thousand to one bean seed and planted j
three rows. I have fresh beans now
and the lima beans are making anoth
er corp. I think l will sell all the beans
green and not can them.
One of the most pleasant times I had
this summed was when I went to
Athens. I won a scholarship to Athens
last year on the Tomato Exhibit which
I entered at the Southeasiern Fair. 1
was surprised when I received a letter
from Mr iStriplin telling me 1 won
first prize, which was a scholarship
o the Slate College of Agriculture
and hoped I'could go.
i went to Athens .o the State Cot -
f fUn 11fh o# A IWV
ibA- iVfei n Miiui c t/u vtio v* **.wb
ust. There were four of us girls from
Bartow, Mary Kate Rogers, Edna
Guyton, Emmie Nelson and myself. I
was acquainted with them all. We left
on the eight-twenty train at Carters
ville. When we reached Athens, Miss
Dowdle was there to meet us and many
more girls and boys. Monday morning
we were ready for work and see how
much we could learn in a week. We
worked from eight-thirty to six. At
night we would play games and we
went to the "movie” one night. Well,
when Saturday came, the day we were
ready to come home, I was ready to
come, although i had a good time.
Well, when I got home the first
thing I did next morning was to go to
my patch. I found it was time to go to
gathering and canning again.
I have my exhibit all ready for the
fair and this is what I have:
The General Garden Work
One quart canned tomatoes. one
quart canned beans, two ten-ounce
bottles tomato ketchup, one ten-ounce
jar of creole sauce ,one ten-ounce jar
of soup mixture, one ten-ounce jar of
green tomato pickle, one No. 2 tin can
of tomatoes, one No. 2 tin can of beans.
Special Fruit Exhibit
Two quarts of canned peaches, one
No. 3 tin can of peaches, two twelve
ounce jars of blackberry jam, two
twelve-ounce pars of peach marma
lade. two twelve-ounce jars of water
melon rind preserves.
This is rn.v second year in the Can
ning Club. The work I have learned
has been a great help to me.
EUGENIA MILAM,
GARDEN STORY
By Emmie Nelson
This is my fourth year as a canning
club girl and l want it to be my very
best one. 1 have been disappointed in
a great many things. My garden did
not do as well as usual, and the
drouth almost ruined my pepper. The
cold weather,.and the chickens, ruin
ed my early beans, tl am Very sorry
that this will be my last year, but I
don’t intend for this to be my last
work.
After the three year's work I have
had, 1 wouldn’t have missed tills year’s
work for anything. I have enjoyed all
of the work and will miss it very
much.
I planted by pepper and tomato
seed. February 16th. I used shallow
boxes, first putting some small rocks
for draining in the bottom of the boxes
and then I put a layer of manure and
used dirt on top of the rocks and man
ure, which had been heated at u tem
perature high enough to kill all esed
n might have contained and also some
ol the diseases. When my dirt was per
fectly cold I planted my seed. I used
Chalk’s Early Jewel for my early to
matoes, and for my late ones Rectfield
Beauty. My garden was plowed in the
fall hut it wasn't fertilized and 1 was
obliged to fertilize it in the spring.
March first, papa plowed my garden
and harrowed it well. My lettuce was
large enough at this time to tarns
plunt to the garden, so i planted out
two rows. It did not do as well as
usual. 1 had planned to sell it. but it
was late when it was ready for mar
ket. and every body had plenty of let
tuce, so I did not sell any. April Ist,
transplanted six pepper plants in my
garden and April 4th one hundred to
matoe plants. We had some cold weath
er and I covreed my plants with cans,
and only a few were kilied.
This is the first year I didn’t have
trouble with cut worms. Papa built !
some boxes in the corners of the gar
den for birds, and it was a familiar !
sight early in the morning to see blue ‘
birds walking up and down rows look- i
ing for cut worms.
Later in the summer I was alarmed
when I found some big green worms
eating the foliage of the plants. I
thought i would have to pick the ugly
tilings but the red birds came to the
rescue and picked every one.
•The early beans did not do well this
Ume. The cold -weather injured them
and when they were blooming we had
a drouth that almost ruined them.
killededvahad(owoffa.nt;eSw',thlngijt lgb
1 didn’t have much trouble keeping
my garden free from weeds and my
plants grew fast.
I found my first tomato bloom May
11th and my first ripe tomato June
Kah, I sold some of my early tdHlatoes,
so as to have some money for eft ns
I haven’t a Conner but I have a cap
ping steel and when I can in tin. j use
the wash pot. f didn’t can very much
in glass, and the caff* 1 used didn't cost
me anything, us they were old cams
mamma wanted filled.
II bough! one hundred Xo. 2 lb. cans.
and a hundred Xo. 3 lb. cans. \Ve cer
tainly did have a time with the first
hundred cans papa brought home. It '•
rained in them and papa, whs late get- i
ting home with, them There wasn't any- j
thing to do but to dry them for they j
would have rusted before morning. I
filled my cans wuth ton-mu*** and the !
small ones l made sauce froro-
YVe certainly Did have a jAwsxl time ■
at our demonstration Miss Edwards i
gave us the last of July. VY’tt canned I
peaches, soup mixture, and gra-oje mar
malade and other things. All of the
gil ls brought lunch and spread pie- !
nie fashion together. Miss Edwards
talked about our ex’eibit we were plan
ning to have at the Cairn.
I p to September 11th I- have gath
ered front my garden 12S pounds of
lettuce. 73 1-2 pout vis of beans, and
1232 1-2 pounds of tomatoes. A'scq 21
sounds of pepper, m thing the total a
tDouni of 1453.
I have canned from my garden 77
Xo. 2 cans ol tomato**, and 94 Xo. 3
cans, i have canned in glass from mv
garden. 1 pint, 41 qMarts, and ~ 1-2
gallon cans of tomatoes, and of twima
to sauce 5 quart and 3 1-2 gallon fans.
Also throe bottles of ketchup.
I sold $2.35 worth of fresh vegetables,
and we used $4.40, estimating value of
vegetables at lc per pound.
My tomato vines liava a great many
green ones on them and if they don’t
mature-before long l intend to make
pickles out of them. I also have beans,
where I had my early crop of beans,
and my pepper plants are full of green
ones, and also a great many ripe ones.
