provided with a report card on one side
of which is printed the regulations which
govern the contest. On the other side |
1 are blanks with the names of the, vege- (
tables most common in this section and
1 blank spaces to put in the number of
' times used • each months. In this way
* a record of' the use of each vegetable is
1 kept. . »
The prize of , SIOO is to be awarded
- the home demonstration council which
• turns in the largest percentage of re-|
1 port cards.
1 A -similar contest is being conducted
