tomatoes, she worked very hard canning for home use, 

 and at the Kentucky State Fair she won three first 

 prizes for canned vegetables and fancy product for com- 

 mercial use. With this money she was able to enter the 

 Girls' High School in Louisville. 



Whenever I needed help from the community peo- 

 ple, they responded readily. At the Jeffersontown Clul? 

 a complete kitchen was furnished at the school for the 

 girls to work in, and at the Orell Club many articles 

 needed were given by Louisville people. 



At the last, of the season the Commercial Club of- 

 fered twenty dollars to be given to the four girls doing 

 the best all-round work. These girls are Patricia Bunell, 

 Maud Mourer, Beatrice Agee and Josephine Johnson. 



Throughout the season I worked one hundred and 

 thirteen days, held sixty-eight meetings, visited two 

 hundred and seven club girls, traveled by rail two thou- 

 sand six hundred and eighty-seven miles, and by walk- 

 ing and conveyance four hundred and nineteen miles, 

 with a total attendance of two hundred and thirty-six 

 club members, and eighty-five visitors.

KNOTT COUNTY. 



This is the first year that canning club work has 

 been carried on in Knott county, and when the work was 

 started last March it was necessary to make house to 

 house visits in canvassing the county, first because 

 schools were not in session, and it was hard to call the 

 girls together, and second, the work was so new that it 

 needed to be explained carefully to parents, as well as 

 girls. After canvassing the county, thirty-two girls 

 were enrolled, and much interest was manifested. 



The work began so late that most of the land had 

 already been planned for, and the girls had difficulty in 

 securing their one-tenth acre, and several girls had to 

 give up the work for this reason. Others had difficulty 

 with the Grovernment seeds, and thought it too late in the 

 season to try again. By July the club girls were reduced 

 to seventeen.
