BIGGER CANNING
CLUBCAMP NEXT
YEARIS PLANNED
Seventeen canning club girls from
various parts of Sumter county this
! afternoon ended a three-daj's’ outing
at the Thirde District Agricultural
school. It was not exactly an outing
either for it has been three days fill
ed with work, but of an interesting
I kind; and there have been hours of
I recreation and evenings of fun and
story telling, and just “good times”
together. This afternoon just before
going home time, Miss Susie Stal
lings, of Americus, put on a program
of readings and dancing which greatly
pleased the young ladies.
The gathering, which is the first of
its kind attempted in Sumter coun
ty is not to be the last. It was an
nounced to the girls yesterday af
ternoon by County Superintendent
J. E. McMath, in the way of a pleas
ant surprise, that plans were already
being laid for a greater meeting of
the same sort next year. A tentative
date of the third Tuesday in June has
been set, and all efforts will be bent
toward having from 75 to 100 girls
take part. It is planned to hold it
again at the agricultural college, the
use of which was generously given
this year by Principal Collum where
the girls may come and have the use
of the dormitory during the stay
of several days.
The three days this year have been
filled with demonstration work in
canning. The demonstrations were
conducted by Mrs. Olin Williams,
county canning club agent and her

Home Making Demonstration*.
The last day of the gathering
showed a large number of products
of various kinds which had been pre
pared, at least some of which, it was
said, would go into the canning club
exhibits this fall. The demonstrations
not only included canning but prac
tical demonstrations in home econom
-1 ics and home making. During their
stay the girls prepared their own
‘ meals, under the supervision of the
instructors, and were given numerous
lessons in the preparation of foods,
how to arrange attractive dishes, food
values, etc. What appeared to be one
of the most popular demonstrations
was in the making of cottage cheese
and its combinations with pimento
peppers and other products. It was
stated by Mrs. Williams that the girls
would be encouraged to make cottage
cheese for the local market, there
now being no source of supply of this
delicacy which commands a price of
35c per pound when available.
One of the demonstrations this
year was the use of the fireleas
cooker. Visitors yesterday were per
mitted to sample the tender and deli
cious meat of a hen that had been
thoroughly cooked in 3 hours in the
fireless cooker. Demonstrations in the
use of the fruit dryer and other meth
ods of saving fruits and vegetables
for the winter months were given.
“Next year,” said Mrs. Pond, “we
hope to have a steam pressure can
ning outfit for demonstration of meat
canning. This is something that is im
portant and is coming.”
