Canning Club Girls Travel to Red Oak Farm Life School For Lessons on Canning, Home Making, July 1919



From the Hertford County Herald, Ahoskie, N.C., Friday, July 11, 1919. Canning clubs were the forerunners of today's 4-H Clubs.

Canning Club Girls Have Encampments

Several rally meetings are being held by various girl clubs in many of the counties of the state. Recently, 50 girls from Edgecombe and Nash counties met at Red Oak Farms Life School, where they clubbed together for several days, using the school dormitories for the occasion. The girls of Wilson County, under the leadership of Mrs. G.C. Boyette, also recently had an interesting outing at the Rock Ridge Farm Life School. Many other rallies are being held in other counties of the State, the idea being to give the girls a short, intensive, three-day course in canning and home making, and to devote a considerable part of the time to outdoor recreational and social entertainment.
