=We Furnish=--Canning equipment, a teacher, and five or six helpers, who carry their lunches with them to avoid extra work for you.

[Illustration: CANNING SQUAD AND PORTABLE KITCHEN Canning squad of the Allegheny County Council of National Defense, and their portable kitchen ready to help the farmers’ wives save their food products. See page 37.] =Cost=--It will cost you no money, but we will expect some fresh vegetables or one-fifth of the jars canned during the day. We furnish the jars for this share, which will later be used for some patriotic purpose. The director of this enterprise reported that it was not unusual for the “crew” to can 80 or 100 quarts of vegetables or fruits in a day and that they were kept busy every day for six weeks.

See page 39.] “CARAVANS” OF TRUCKS Since the war, much publicity has been obtained for the motor truck itself by what have been called motor truck development tours. Several such tours, each covering a number of states, have demonstrated to farming communities the use of the farm tractor, the advantages of the truck in carrying farm products to market, and various other uses of motor vehicles. A spectacular transcontinental tour of a train of eighty motor vehicles was made during the summer of 1919 by the Motor Transport Corps of the War Department. The caravan, which spread out over three miles of road when in motion, included field kitchens, ambulances, repair trucks, and in fact every sort of motor vehicle used by the transport service in France. This trip was undertaken for both recruiting and educational purposes. The following account of its purposes and methods is supplied by a representative of the Motor Transport Corps: The transcontinental trip has been undertaken both for military and educational purposes, as follows: (1) An extended service test of the standardized principal types of army motors. (2) The War Department’s contribution to the Good Roads movement for the purpose of developing through-route and transcontinental highways as military and economic assets. (3) A demonstration of the practicability of long-distance motor post and commercial transportation. (4) The collection of detailed data for use in connection with the technical training of the commissioned and enlisted personnel of the Motor Transport Corps. (5) The procurement of recruits for the Motor Transport Corps. (6) Studies in terrain observation for certain branches of the army, particularly the Field Artillery, Air Service and Engineer Corps.
