beauty and variety, the uniformity and appropriateness 

 of container and pa^, told, in part at least, the story of 

 our season's work. Owing to the generosity of Mr. New- 

 man, our Commissioner of Agriculture, who donated the 

 lacquered cans, some of our girls, especially^ in the moun- 

 tain counties, were enabled to put up huckleberries and 

 blackberries for sale. The cans formed quite an at- 

 tractive feature of our exhibit, and quite a number were 

 sold. A trip to Fayette for consultation and visits to 

 plats, and a demonstration in canning at Aubumdale, 

 in which Miss Cramer assisted me, finished the Septem- 

 ber work. A three days' stay in Mason county helping 

 Miss Tuggle organize Home Demonstration Clubs, con- 

 sultations with Mrs. Wolcott, and some institute work, 

 which included Prestonsburg, Leitchfield, Hodgenville, 

 and Elizabethtown, completes my work to date. Schools 

 were also visited and talks made. Some interest was 

 aroused, and a very cordial reception was ours. 



In looking back over the year that is closing, and 

 in trying to vision the future, the immense future of this, 

 our work, one thing stands out forcibly and clearly, that 

 whatever of hardship, of disappointment and discour- 

 agement may fall to our lot as agents, the privilege and 

 opportunity for real service, whole-hearted and un- 

 selfish, are ours, and overtop and outweigh all else.

BELL COUNTY. 



Having been sent to Bell county, as county agent, 

 rather hurriedly, and with but ten days in which to or- 

 ganize the Girls' Canning Club, I directed my efforts, 

 with the help of Dr. Foley, of Pineville, Secretary of. 

 County Board of Health, and Mr. Clayton, a supervisor 

 sent out by the State to communities that could be 

 reached easiest, and in which we were sure of finding 

 plenty of girls. Dr. Foley and Mr. Clayton were going 

 over the county holding night meetings and giving illus- 

 trated lectures, trying to encourage the making of gar- 

 dens, and they very kindly told of my work in connec- 

 tion with theirs.
