; Tallahasee, May 10. During ths
first part of April the annual Short
course for Canning Club girla was held
at the Florida State College for Wom
en, with an attendance of sixty club
members. On Friday night, April 11,
in the college auditorium, certificates
were presented to all of the girls.
Every one had successfully done the
Work required at the short course.
There were present in this group
four , state prize winners: Pallio
Mathis, of Holmes county, who won
first prize in 1913; EulavTrantham, of
jDuval county, state prize winner of
1916; Ethel Gibson, state prize winner
for 1917. and Agnes Williams, state
prize winner for 191r
; Many of the girls attending the short
eourse reported that they were not
only members of canning clubs, but
some of them belonged to as many
as four clubs. There are now being
carried on throughout the State, can
ning clubs, poultry clubs, pig clubs
and grape clubs.
Milk Clubs.
I Another feature of the work In
A pril has been the organization of
the milk clubs, under the supervision
of Miss May Morse, home demonstra
tion dairy specialist.
I Poultry Work.
: The following are quotations from
the home demonstration reports re
garding the poultry work:
f "Poultry club work Is as usual, pro
grossing splendidly."
"Every club member reported little
chickens, and three of the boys have
liev poultry houses." '
J "Eugene - Jackson has a Splendidly
kept record book, and has made coop
and fair houses out of the material
4i the place."
"Ea.er Allen bought good stock for
tier beginning, and is still hatching
frggs to get money to build her
houses."
; "I met the ladies of Johnston to
Organize an egg circle. We organized
a circle of seven members and shipped
pne 30-dozen crate of eggs. Gave poul
try club members lettuce seed to plant,
so as to grow some green food for
young chickens." '
; ."Met the Garden and" poultry clubs.
Enrolled eleven members, making a
total of sixty-two. Twenty were poul
try club members, two hundred and
four chickens were hatched within the
last two weeks, 193 laying hens and
six setting hens." "
- Sewing Clubs. ,
Reports from the Sewing Clubs
show that the girls are busy making
their spring garments, learning the use.
of the sewing machine and other work
that is useful in their home life. One
agent reports one of her club girls as
saying: "Since I have been taking the
sewing, mother depends a great deal
on me." It is believed that many oth
ers are making the same report.
Child Welfare.
A number of agents report that
their home demonstration programs in
clude child welfare subjects.
Canning.
Canning meat still holds an impor
tant place in the work. The follow
ing quotations from the agents, give
glimpses of this work:
"Wednesday went to Pasadena and
canned pork. We canned up over 3,000
pounds of meat. This was their first
experience with the steam pressure
canner in canning meats. Had 15
neighbors present."
"Canned chicken. Rooster was too
old for merely frying," and then fol
lowed a description of how to make
palatable an old rooster.
Reports indicate that the . interest
is increasing In canning vegetab'es.
Through May and June, this work wi'l
be carried on generally throughout the
state. In some districts, more work
in canning will be done than -.haa
been done in the past. Many people
in Florida have had four or five years
experience in canning in tin now, and
it is not unusual for an agent to re
port that a family has ordered one
thousand cans.
A great many other kinds of work
are being done, such as:
Demonstrating the use Of poultry
products and the . use of vegetables
and fruits; planning community pic
nics for the discussion of the v needs
of the community; girls buying pure
bred pigs, borrowing from the banks
if they have not the money; selling
eggs in co-operation with egg circles;
working with bees; meeting business
girls in some of the cities in the tve
nings; giving community short
courses; stating methods of improv
ing the homes.
(Note) The following quotation
shows the method of doing this:
"At a club meeting we talked of
household conveniences. The women
were especially Interested in the meth
od of running water out of the kitch
en, and I think most of them have
fixed a system with the funnels and
Pipe."
Negro Home Demonstration Work.
Fifteen negro women are working in
fifteen counties in the state. The
most important work they are doing
is teach the people of their race how
to make soap Of better quality and
more easily than they have ever made
it before; of the necessity of cleanli
ness; of the whitewashing of fences
and outhouses. Poultry raising, gar
dening, etc., are, encouraged. One f

M'RAE. -
BY JOHN C. TRICE.
Tallahassee, May 10. It is perhaps
the first time in the history of Flor
ida that the house has recessed three
times during one short session, but it
is also the first time that such au
occasion as that of this morning has.
happened. One time a recess, was
taken for five minutes to watch the
maneuvers of a daring airplane navi
gator flirting with death right over
the capltol building. The next time
the friends ' of the compulsory dip
ping scheme succeeding In getting a
motion through to ' listen to the agent
of the bureau of animal industry, and
the third time Mr. McBae had to sus
pend his speech on the tick question
for the members to watch a friendly
tank bombarding the town with blank
shells, in the interest of the Liberty
Loan. . . '
Just as the last straggler of . the
members of the house were, going up
the steps on the east side of the capl
tol building to be. present at roll call
at the beginning of the Session, an
airplane came buzzing over-the town
from a northeastly direction.. He was
flying at a height of two or three
thousand feet, and only, attracted a
passing notice.'
Just about the time the roU call
was under way. however, the buzzing
of his engine indicated he had circled
and was coming back down among the
tree tops almost. There was a hurry
ing to the windows. The roll call
was completed and the chaplain pray
ed, but it was perhaps the shortest
prayer on record. Then the speaker
declared a five minute recess.
The evolutions of the bird man at
such short range were exciting to the
watchers. Salutations were given from
the windows by the waving of hand
kerchiefs, and were returned by him
as he flirted with death just above
the tops of the towering oak trees
in the capitol yard. Several times he
gratified the wishes of the lawmakers
by skimming over the top of the capl
tol building. ' . ' -
The next excitement was when the
compulsory dipping bill was resumed.
The friends of the bill were evidently
not satisfied with the outlook, and
Mr. " Watson desired to invite Mr.
Rawls, of the bureau ' of 4 animal : in
dustry at Washington, to address the
members. A recess had to be taken
for this purpose for the reason that
no one save the members of the house
are permitted to speak during the ses
sions. -:. ';'
The third recess was taken when th
tank which has been in these parts
for several days came noisily by the
capitol firing an occasional shot from
one, Of its guns. Beside the driver of
the tank was doing some maneuvering
entirely new to most members of the
house. : . : -
the negro home demonstration agents
reported the other day: , ;
"I . have made soap in' a different
neighborhood every day this week. Ws
found 75 pounds of rancid lard. which
we are turning into good soap. The
country is full of little chickens, many
of which have been raised because I
asked it." ; .... ' '
. Because of the withdrawal . by the
department of agriculture of the emer
gency fund, it is feared there will have
to be a material decrease in this work,
in the state next year. It will take
great enthusiasm and effort on the
part of the local people to continue
this work at the same high standard
of efficiency and usefulness to the
state. " ?: ,'.'- ..-!:-
