lades and citrus fruits products at a good 
profit. 
From Marion County we get the re¬ 
port that a number of families who live 
on groves are making marmalades and 
supplying the local markets, besides be¬ 
ginning to fill mail orders. 
Leona Dedge, of Duval County, after 
the freeze, bought ten dollars worth of 
sugar, with this made marmalade of the 
frozen sour oranges from a tree in her 
yard. She sold $30.00 worth, besides 
having a liberal supply for the family 
pantry. 
To estimate that the women and girls 
of our clubs have put up over 100,000 
containers of marmalades, jellies, crystal¬ 
lized fruits and other products from the 
grove, is conservative. The most im¬ 
portant work our girls and women are 
doing, is the canning of vegetables in 
tin for the pantry and home market. 
We shall continue our work in training 
the women and girls in the making of 
these products, but we hope the time will 
soon come when the owners of groves 
will look into the possibilities of produc¬ 
ing on a factory scale, these by-products 
from the grove, that factories may con¬ 
tinue their investigations, and that our 
trained workers may assist in operating 
these factories.
