as a convenient and safe place to leave the baby when the 

 mother and little club girl had to be busy. 



The work this year has been hardly more than an 

 introduction. Only about three hundred cans of toma- 

 toes have been put up for market. Some of the girls 

 have put up a number of bottles of catsup, canned in 

 glass for home use, and supplied the home table from 

 their gardens ; and as some say they have just begun this 

 year to learn how, and another year they will be ready 

 to make a success. One encouraging feature has been 

 the ready market we have found in this and adjoining 

 counties for all our club products. Although so little 

 has really been accomplished, yet I cannot feel that the 

 work has been a failure. The people in the county are 

 beginning to realize the possibilities of the work. The 

 ice has been broken, and if the work is carried an an- 

 other year, I am confident that results will be more evi- 

 dent.

LAUREL COUNTY. 



The second year's club work in Laurel county was 

 organized Marcl^ 10, 1915, with an enrollment of 18 

 members. 



I was unable to organize clubs as my members were 

 very much scattered, so I did quite a lot of home visit- 

 ing, making one hundred and ninety-six visits in all. I 

 have traveled seven hundred and seventeen miles by 

 team, and two hundred and fifteen by rail, making a to- 

 tal of nine hundred and thirty-two miles. 



I only have eight members who grew tomatoes for 

 real canning. Many others did not have them for table 

 use from their one-tenth acre plots and home gardens. 



One girl filled seven hundred No. 3 cans, another two 

 hundred, which were the highest filled by any members. 

 We only have a total of eleven hundred and thirty-four 

 No. 3 cans, and twelve hundred and twenty-one jars of 

 beans, tomatoes, apples, grapes, plums and berries. 



In each home visited I assisted in some way, gave 

 recipes, demonstrated with bean, com, tomato and apple
