Winteyport,
The canning of corn at the Winterport |
factory began Saturday. The output of this |
establishment the present season will not be-
more than fifty per cent. of that in favor
able year, perhaps not so much as that. And |
it is thought that the total in the State will |
not be more than Is or 70 per cent. as large
as that of last year. Hon Fred Atwood, the
agent, says that almost all of those who have |
raised corn for the factory this year, notwith-
standing the present state of things, are not
discouraged, but express themselves as ready
% plant an increased acreage next year,
while many who have never planted at all
Ire going into it in 1889.
