Home canning is one of the impor- tant phases of food preservation as taught by extension workers among far women. It is imperative for any garden surplus to be saved for winter use in the household, in regions where fresh vegetables and fruits are not easily obtained during several months. In many localities home demonstration agents encourage the planning and planting of the garden with a definite amount of canning in mind. “A can- ning budget” it is sometimes called. Farm women also sell their canned products, and it is important to help them to make their canned goods uni- form and dependable, and in conform- ity with the requirements of the law. The precautions and directions for canning given by the United States Department of Agriculture in Farmers’ | STRAIGHT SHOR LEGS IN ROMPER | | is always a Suitable for Boy or Girl of | Three Years of Age. es Department (Prepared by the United S of Agriculture.) a boy or a girl nearly three can wear this button-in-front romper with short raglan sleeves and straight short legs.

Tie the feet of the fowl and tear a hole in the bottom of the sack about the size of a silver dollar. Place the bird in the sack with the head sticking through the hole and then take a second string and tie the opening to the sack around the bird's legs. The legs stick outside but the bird cannot kick or flop. It can be carried under the arm of the without risk of soiling the clothes. There is no danger of finding dirt in the bot- tom of the car.

Keeping Balance in Life Conditions demand that we live with other people, and our problem is to keep our mental, moral, and spiritual balance while all kinds of influences are brought to bear upon us.

Instead of being blown over by the | wind, the ship would make progress | on its course even in a gale.

Georgia’s State Bird After much excited balloting the brown thrush was selected as Georgia's state bird. The purple martin and red-headed woodpecker were close seconds. The brown thrasher was selected because of his qualities as song bird and permanent resident. The martin is a migrant and not fitted to be a year-round offi- cial bird. The woodpecker developed surprising particularly among the juvenile voters. They fig- strength ured any bird as industrious as the woodpecker deserved reward. The brown thrasher is a member of the well-known thrush family, the mock- ingbird subfamily.
