Show HOGANSON COMPLETES CAMPAIGN Professor J. C. HogetiRon has re- H turned to tho Agricultural College af- H ter having completed a most success- H ful campaign In tho Interests of tho jB homo canning of fruits and vege- B tables. Ho began to campaign nt H the closo of summer school In tho .early part of July, and has boon ln H tho field almost constantly slnco Hint H timo. In this work ho hns visited H twelve counties of tbo stalo, holding lllfl about thirty demonstration meetings LLI and canning over a thousand quarts ot fruit and vegetables. B Without doubt such work Is to ro- H suit In tho betterment ot many H homes. Tlioso who nro acquainted H with conditions, sny thnt attcr mas- H terlng tho proper methods ot canning B fruItB and vegetables, one can savo H from ilvo to twenty cents per quart H over what tlicy must pay when buy- B Ing tho commercial article. Others B say that theso estimates aro too Bmall B nnd ono can savo much more. B Tho registration at tho meetings, B addrcssod during tho summur by Pro- B 'cssor Hogonson totals over nlno B thousnnd Individuals. Estimating B that theso women should can an av- B orago of fifty quarts, which is H B very low cstlmato as any woman will H tell you, and that each Bhould save B an avorage ot ten cents (or every H quart canned, which Is also very low, H wo find that the total saving to tho, H pcopla of tbo state as a result ot JB Professor Hogenson's summor work jH amounts to $45,000. This Is putting tlio estlmato at a very low mark and does not consider that hundreds, pos- slbly thousands, of women will learn the proper methods from their neigh- bors nnd tliUB Increase .tlio saving among those who need most to save. Thnt his summer's work is to re- suit ln great material good to tho H farm mothers of tho stato Is but ro- peatlng what tho above figures havo iJbbbh already proven. The clenching proof H ot tho success of this work, which v vLB has been Instituted by tho Agrlcul- jH tural College with tho nsslstanco ot H tho U. S. Department of Agrlculturo jB Is that tho Federal government has approved ot tho employment of an as- jH slstant to Professor Hogonson In tho jH person of Mr. Carl Anderson, a for- jH mer Logan man. Mr. Anderson's sal- H ary will bo paid Jointly by tho Agrl- H cultural Collego and tho U. S. Do- H partment ot Agrlculturo and ho will H assist Professor Hogenson In his H work. During tbo winter their work H will be with tho boy and girl ciuotv B ot tho schools and high schools of ALI tho state. Next summer with tho as- H slstance ot Mr. Anderson, Professor iLfl Hogenson will be ablo to carry tho ILfl gospol of home canning Into every ;$L nook ot the Btate, thus assisting niny h fl others to save and resulting ln great- ' H or prosperity for tho state -as a wholo.
