| q cIIIIIlS IdtlOIN. AoIi any oIiG tcu Why
all other fruit, and many kinds of vege-
tables are canned, even to sweet
potatoes and pumpkins, and not a
cranberry? Why should this form the
only exception? Some say because Of
the acid they contain. Apples, peaches,
| pears, cherries, gooseberries, and nearly
all other kinds Of fruit contain acid and
are canned successfully, and it appears
on investigation that SO long as the can
remains air tight, the can and fruit are
| perfectly safe.
One reason why cranberries have
never been canned is owing to the fact
that, until lately, there have been no
| canning factories Gas far as [ know in
the immediate vicinity Of large bodies
Of cranberries, and the cranberry
grower hardly thought Of it. There is
now canning factory at Berlin, Wis,
| think built last spring, they can corn,
beans, raspberries and blackberries. |
do not think they have touched the
cranberry as they find a ready sale for
all their Belle and Bugle berries in a
green state.
All other kinds Of fruit have been
canned for years. The business must
have been profitable to the growers Of
the fruits and the canning factories,
otherwise the business would have
stopped long ago. Instead OF stopping,
! the number Of factories are constantly
increasing and the proportion OF fruit
canned to the amount sold green is also
rapidly increasing, and the sales of each
largely increased thereby, and the
prices maintained, and the grower and
dealer saved from loss in times of
abundance. Why this single exception?
There is no excuse for it any longer. |
am prepared to demonstrate the fact
that cranberries can be canned and put
on the market at the same price per
pound, Gamers pounds, as the green
fruit, and leave a handsome profit
There is millions in it | am satisfied,
both to the parties who can them and
the producer. With canned cranberries
