The sweet corn yield this year is much
larger than usual and at the canning
factory here more corn has been brought
in than the company can handle. The
acreage Is smaller this year than last and
the usual number of cans was made, and
although twenty acres were drowned
out in the spring, the cans were eX-
hausted several days ago and all they
could make since, and the canning COM
pany have been obliged to get farmers
to hold back their corn and settle with
them as best they can for what they
cannot use. They also advertise to sell
2000 bushels at 6 cents per bushel. The
company is under contract to take the
corn of the farmers and are obliged to
do the best they can with it. Canning
factories in other Somerset towns have
the same difficulty. Too much of good
thing.
