CANNING CLUBS FOR NEW YORK STATE 



The following questions now arise: Is there an opportunity for the 

 organization of canning clubs in New York State? Will the isolated 



Fig. 84. — The fruit shows the results of a busy season 



enterprise conducted by unexperienced persons have any chance of suc- 

 cess? Canning clubs have proved successful in the South, and com- 

 mercial canning has been successfully conducted on one farm in this State. 

 While the profits yielded by the latter enterprise were not great, never- 

 theless they were sufficient to justify the belief that similar enterprises 

 might furnish excellent opportunities for many young persons on other farms. 

 In order to encourage the work and to establish uniform standards 

 of excellence, the Department of Home Economics will be glad to cooperate 

 with interested persons who desire to have such clubs organized in their 

 communities. If such an organization is to be in operation by the next 

 canning season, it is necessary to begin planning at once. The young folk 

 should be brought together and the enterprise should be suggested to them.
