here would not only save and render valuable
the large quantity of pears and other fruits
and vegetables that now go to waste, but
would make n market for thousands of dol

tomatoes, pumpkins, etc. This would diver
sify production, bring money in at a duh sea
son relieve the plo1uCer, benefit the mer-
chant and improve business in all lines. Eff
teen thousand dollars would be ample for
factory of sufficient capacity to consume all
the stock that could be raised in the county.

fed with the enterprise.
