Some of the best little canners in the state are going to be sent here from the University of Nebraska and elsewhere. What can we can? We can can many things.

But the canning school is going to teach how you can can beans and peas and corn; how you can can greens and root vegetables and how you can can pumpkin and squash.

But there are many things that grow in gardens that simply refuse to "keep" unless they are put into cansi tway from the air. And they have to be cann.d ac cording to certain tcientific rules. You can't can them any old way. And those rules the canning school will teach in its two-day course with lec tures and laboratories and everything just like a college. The enrollment of students is al ready very large. Students must bring notebook, pencil, apron, cap, aisnciotn, towel, nana towel ana tour pint jars to put up their vegetables in.
