The CANNING SEASON in Hartford is drawing
TO a close, the crop of corn, especially, being
very short. The cool weather having retarded
the ripening of corn, Gamers have found so lit
tie for their hands to do, that many of then.
have discharged their Bohemians and ceased
operations for while. Mr.. Chas. A. McGaw of
Hartford Furnace, sent his hands home yesterday.
Mr.. e. w. Bradford, of Aberdeen was also
obliged to stop work on Tuesday, on account
of the scarcity of corn ready for canning. Mr..
j. H. Janney also stopped on Tuesday. The
quantity of corn put up this year, Mr.. VIM. b,
Baker and other prominent Gamers estimate,
will not exceed one-half or at most two-thrds
of the usual crop. Many complaints are made,
also, of an unusually large number of "swels"
among the corn already packed. No reason for
this is given. Some Gamers have lost as many
as thousand cases each of their pack.
The tomato Gamers will probably do better,
but the crop of tomatoes, also, is light in Har-
ford this year. The quantity packed however,
will depend upon the season. Canning will
continue until the vines are killed by frost.
