Rules for the contest. — Each member should bring a plan of her last season's 

 vegetable garden, drawn on the scale of one-quarter of an inch for 

 each foot, a list of the vegetables raised, and a statement of the size 

 of her family and the quantity of vegetables canned from this garden. 

 ■ After the club has seen all the plans, a vote should be taken to decide 

 which garden most successfully met the needs of its owners. 



A comic prize may be given to the member whose family proves 

 to have the best educated taste in vegetables, judged on the following 

 basis: Provide a list of the common fresh and canned vegetables. 

 As the name of each vegetable is read, each member should score one 

 point for each person in her family over four years of age who eats 

 this vegetable. Each member should divide her total number of 

 points by the number of persons in her household over four years 

 of age in order to obtain the final score. The highest score wins 

 the prize. 



For another contest a list should be made of the green potherbs 

 and green salad vegetables, cultivated and wild, used by members of 

 the club. A prize should be given to the woman who has used the 

 largest variety. 



Exhibit. — Samples of home-grown and home-canned vegetables would 

 make a suitable exhibit.
