•IDLER COMPANY , X J20, Springfield, Illlno.i
a girl s canning club was organized
to meet a war necessity
HOW
and attained such desirable results
that its members determined
to put what they have learned to peacetime
use, is the story of the Harvard Canning
and Evaporating Club of Worcester
County, Massachusetts.
This club was organized in' the spring of
1.917 by Miss Clara Endicott Sears with a
membership of twelve girls between the
ages of nine and sixteen years old. The
United States had just entered- the war,
and the girls, filled with
patriotism and a desire
to be of service, hoped to
aid in conserving food;
also to create an emergency
supply for the
soldiers at Camp Devens,
an army training
point-near- by.
Throughout the hottest
days of that summer
the girls worked at home
and at club meetings under
the supervision of
their club leader. The
work was so successful
that the club outgrew its
home town after a time
and its fame spread
throughout the state.
Then came the various
fairs and the club sent
an exhibit to the Eastern
States Exposition
where it won a medal of
honor. This success
added zest to the work
and the girls planned another exhibit in
their home town. This exhibit consisted
of both canned and dried products and
was sold afterwards to Battery F, 303rd
Heavy Field Artillery, at Camp Devens.
There were 1,000 jars of canned and 200
pounds of dried products. In addition,
the girls kept 1,000 quarts, canned at
home, for family use. Only products conserved
at club meetings were sold.
When the canning season of 1918 opened
the girls were eager to go on with;their
work. A number of new members joined
and the work that year exceeded all expectations.
Considerable canned and dried
products were sold that year to outside
parties. Club exhibits were sent to the
Eastern Sta^ss Exposition again, also to
two district fairs, at which prizes
were taken.
That fall, at the close of the season ,
another club exhibit was held in the
town hall. After all expenses were
paid, the club had $100 in cash,to its
credit with 1,320 jars of products unsold.
Each girl was paid that yeai
for the time she spent in canning and
drying. All income above expense?
went to the cliib treasury.
In 1919 the club continued its work.
Expert instruction which had been
given the first two years by the Worcester
County Farm Bureau was
dropped last year so as to throw ujion
the older girls the responsibility of
(teaching the younger girls. Results
were very gratifying.
The club exhibited last year at the
New England Fair at Worcester
where it took first prize on fruits and
second on vegetables. At the Eastern
States Exposition it won first on
both fruits and vegetables, Exhibits
sent to minor expositions met with
simil# success as did individual exhibits
by .the girls themselves.
The season of 1920 is at hand and
the Harvard Canning and Evaporating
Club stands ready to enlarge itsactivities
It already has orders for
more products than the members can
possibly can or dry.
It will begin its fourth year with a
determination to make it the banner
rear.
What Four Champions Did
THERE assembled at Chicago, in December,
at the International Livestock
Exposition, 216 boys and girls from seventeen
different states. Each boy and girl ,
because of some achievement in club work ,
had won a free tri p to Chicago. All expanses
were paid by Armour's Farm Bureau
and were paid l iecause they had
raised a better pig or a calf than someone
else had raised. Each was a champion,
somewhere. ,
Four of these champions stood together
for the picture which appears on this page.
M. G. Eckhardt of Dewitt County, Texas,
was the state's champion baby beef grower
last year. He is the most experienced
club member in this group, having been a
member of a club for four years. Feeders
or breeders who doubt whether club work
pays may be surprised at this boy's
achievements. He has cleared for himself
Members of the Girls' Canning and Evapora ting Club of Harvard, Maes., at Work.
This Club Is Now Starting Its Fourth Season
$4,000 in those four years as a club member.
The first year he won two prizes and
enough money to buy two more Angus
steers which won second and fourth prizes.
He sold one of the steers and kept one for
the next year. He then bought two more
steers and in March he entered three steers
at the Fat Stock Show in Fort Worth; one
brought the Grand Championship, two
firsts and one reserve. The other two
won two seconds, two thirds and one fifth.
He sold them and cleared §750 off the
three head and won about $150 in prize
money. With this money he purchased a
two-weeks old bull calf out of the celebrated
Prizemere and three heifers from
the Champion bull Laddie of Rosemere.
In 1"10 he won the Grand Championship
Four Juniors Who Have Distinguished Themselves.
From Lef t to Right: M. G. Eckhardt of Texas; Gurda
Lexoold of Minnesota ; Bernice Hardy of Florida;
Morrill Delano of Washington
at the Texas State Fair with one of the
heifers, refusing $1,800 for the bull and
turning down $4,000 for the group. It is
his intention to be a breeder of purebred
Angus cattle.
Gurda Lexvold of Goodhue County,
Minnesota , won the championship in the
market pig-club work in her. state. That
was her first experience in growing a pig.
Starting with a Poland China pig 10 weeks
old, weighing 38 pounds she fed middlings,
skim milk, dry oats and barley, and at the
show in November was able to exhibit and
sell a 330-pound pig at 37 cents per pound,
netting a sum of $122.10. Besides this
she won $150 in prizes and the International
All Star gold medal, as well as a
free trip to the International Live Stock
Showi
Bernice Hardy of Putnam County,
Florida, the little girl in the group, is
eleven years old. She was the only representative
from Florida. Duroc-Jerseys
are her favorite hogs. Starting with a 50-
pound gilt , Bernice produced
pork at the rate
of one pound per day
for 230 days at a cost of
4.6 cents a pound. Old
breeders will agree this is
pretty cheap pork production
now. Her net
profit on her pig was
$178.50.
Morrill Delano of
Pierce County, Washington,
is a Berkshire
enthusiast. He was selected
in 1919 as the
champion pig grower of
his state. Morrill not
only raised one pig last
year but he has a herd
of 28 purebreds. How
he secured this herd
should serve as an inspiration
to every pig
club boy and girl. This
is what he writes:
"Four years ago my
father bought a pig to
fatten and butcher for our own use. It became
quite a pet of mine and after it was
butchered I wanted a pig of my own. I
bought one—a scrub.
"At this time clubs were being organized
in the schools and I joined the pig club.
That fall the club leader advised me to buy a
registered pig, and I bought an eleven-montliold
registered bred Berkshire gilt. She farrowed
a fine litter of six pigs. I kept the
three best sows for breeding and sold the
others; the two boars I sold as breeding
stock. I then bought a registered Berkshire
boar to use with my herd.
"The past summer I decided to get a still
better sow. On September 20th, she farrowed
a fitter of eight pigs. They are fine,
all future prize winners, I am sure. ' I shall
now dispose of all my other stock and keep
onlv the best Berkshires ."
Champion Sewing Club Members
ALMA MARQUAT of Douglas
' County, Nevada, won state
championship in the first year's sewing
club work last year. She darned
four pairs of hose, patched two garments,
making the hemmed patch
and made a sewing bag holder, a towel
and a nightgown. The work was all
done by hand and is most excellent.
The value of the mending and of the
articles made is $8.25. Taking away
$2.10, the cost of materials, she has
made a profit of $6.15, besides having
learned to do excellent sewing and
mending.
Elda Rosenbrock , also of Douglas
County, won the state championsh ip
in the second year's sewing club work.
She received a sewing machine as the
state prize for the best sewing club
work in Nevada. She darned seve n
pairs of hose and a piece of table linen ;
patched four garments, making the
hemmed patch on two garments and
the overhand patch on two garments;
mended two pairs of gloves, and made
a sewing bag, two princess slips, a
bungalow apron and a one-piece
dress.
Elda has written this interesting account
of her sewing club work:
"I began my first piece of sewing on
February 4. The first piece I made
was a sewing bag. I made it of tan material
and lined it with green sateen. After
sewing the bag I put my second class emblem
on it. It took me two hours and forty minutes
to make it. The bag cost me $.86?j.
My grade was 98%.
"The next thing I did was to patch. I
made four patches, two overhand patches
and two hemmed patches. I did two on
striped, ^material/and two on checked material.
I spent 75^-hours on the four patches.
"After patching I made a princess slip
I made my princess slip of muslin and trim-
