CORRELATING AGRICULTURE IN NORTHERN STATES. 25 
location of canning factories for fruits and vegetables as sold in the 
local market. Locate these places on the map and consider the pos- 
sibility of supplying the local market through the work of club mem- 
bers. Can these crops be raised and canned at a cost which will meet 
the competition of the factories ? How about quality % 
History. — Develop the history of methods of plowing, cultivating, 
and harvesting; the improvement of hand tools, followed by the sub- 
stitution of machines. Refer to books on inventions and those on the 
industries. Show how much this development has meant to the 
country and how it has modified not only the method of work but 
also the distribution of crop acreage and the types of farming used. 
The story of the domestication of animals is a topic of interest. Dav- 
enport's Domesticated Animals and Plants will help. 
Drawing. — Sketch apple blossoms in different stages, indicating at 
what stage to spray effectively. Sketch a codling moth. Draw parts 
of improved machinery and apparatus used. Complete the details 
in maps of gardens or farms as now being cultivated. 
Physiology.— Take up the first aid in summer emergencies on the 
farm. Teach how to deal with ivy poison and other similar troubles 
the pupils may encounter. Use Farmers' Buls. 375, 459, and 540. 
Make a study of stable practice to control flies. Study the sum- 
mer care of foods to prevent contamination and bacterial growth. 
(See Brewer's Rural Hygiene.) 
Manual training. — Most of the manual work at this season should 
be done on the fields and gardens. If time permits it would also be 
well to make a tireless cooker and demonstrate its use. The girls 
should, also have enough practice in the technique of canning to make 
sure they can do that part of the summer club work successfully. 
Complete all booklets as far as the progress of the club work will per- 
mit. Those which are complete may be bound with ribbon, cord, or 
metal fasteners. 
CORRELATION SUPPLEMENTS. 
I. THE SCHOOL EXHIBIT. 
School exhibits or fairs of various kinds prove an incentive to 
pupils and compel the attention of the patrons of the school. The 
exhibit may not be an index of the quality of the school work, but 
an occasional exhibit of merit wins the recognition of the public and 
consequently at least a temporary interest in the work of the school. 
Of the possible exhibits related to agriculture the following may be 
mentioned : 
(a) The school-garden fair. Produce of the school garden is suitably arranged for 
inspection and perhaps in competition. (6) Vegetables and flowers raised by pupils 
at home entered for school competition only. This may be at any convenient date. 
(c) A preliminary exhibit of pupils' produce when a part at least is to be exhibited in a
