Rice, Lermotte & Co.'S cannery in Ches-
tertown, began work last week on
peaches. About one hundred hands
are employed, two-thirds from Balti-
more city, and the cannery is using
$50 baskets per day, mostly standard
fruit, and has paid as much as rs cents
per basket for CraWford's Early. The
cannery Of Messrs Burchinal, DOwney

drying establishments in Kent are
likely to be put in operation this sea
son on account of the scarcity of the
fruit and the quantity of old stock Oh
