The Grand Junction Sentinel says:
"1he solicitors for the canning factory
have about given up their labors of 80
licitation. They found that the public
very generally gave them the cold
shoulder and that they were unable to
lift the subscription above s145. The
project Of building canning factory
should not be allowed to go by the board.
The creation OF pay rolls in this city is
what it needs more than any other
thing and only through such sources as
the canning and other factories can it
be obtained. The special committees
who have the subscription in charge
should be given every encouragement
possible instead of cold looks and colder
words" Send Mr.. Swingley up here
and he will have no trouble in getting
located. We have one tirst-class can
ming factory which is turning out the
finest goods ever put on the Colorado
market and il any one else wants to
come, there is still room.

keepina Fruits Fresh.

A process Of preserving fruits in their
natural state has been devised by Ri.
Petit, chief of the laboratory Of horti-
cultural research at the National Horti-
cultural School Of Versailles. France, has
been reported by the United States
consul at Rheims, and seems to deserve
the attentive consideration Of fruit grow.
ers throughout the United States. I'm
pressed by the powerful effect of alcohol
vapor on mold which generally appears
on the surface Of fruit when it is kept in
damp atmosphere, M. Petit noticed
that pears and apples kept for several
months in an atmosphere saturated with
the vapors Of water and alcohol showed
no signs of mold even when at tie
beginning they were at state of decay.
Taking advantage Of this observation,
he applied the principles to the
preservation OF fruits in general and
particularly to grapes, because these,
more than any other fruit, are subjected
to mold. 1t was anticipated that grapes
kept from the day they were cut in an
atmosphere Of alcohol and water vapor,
would, by retarding the sweating period.
not only remain free from mold, but
would retain their natural appearance.
On the 31st Of October, 1894, NJ. Petit
placed some fruits, fresh from tho vines,
in brick enclosure cemented and closed
as closely as possible with common
wood door. In it he placed an uncorked
bottle containing about quart Of alco-
hol. Two similar enclosures were con-
structed, all Of them being in damp
cellar whore tho atmosphere was from
forty-six to fifty degrees during the
whole time Of the experiment, and these
latter were filled with the fruits from the
same trees and vines, but without alco-
hol. On the 20 day Of November the
fruit in tho enclosure without alcohol
was nearly all rotten and covered with
mold. In that containing the alcohol
the grapes were in a splendid state of
preservation. The experiment con-
tinued for two months with nearly the
same results and nearly one fourth of the
alcohol that was placed with the fruit
remained in the bottle. The grapes re-
NAMED perfectly firm, fresh and savory
and precisely like those that were fresh
cut. The process offers advantages in
the keeping ct fruits in fresh state for
a considerable time after the natural
season, and may furnish means Of pre-
serving surpluses which will not only
have the advantage Of relieving the
market from a glut OF what is regarded
as perishable fruit, but will furnish
fresh, salable product, that will bring
the high prices that fruit out Of season
always commands.

FLAX GROWING.

One of the industries which Utah has
neglected for many years is the grow
ing of fax. 1t was cultivated to some
extent in the early times, but has
gradually gone out Of fashion among
farmers. It has been receiving some
attention. however, in the east.
Flax growing could be made profit
able in Utah if there was market for
the fibre. The seed pets a fair figure
TO the farmer, but he needs a market
for the fibre. The straw is not utilized
and the seed does not bring a sufficient
return. If the manufacture Of the fibre
was established here, fax could be
grown at a good profit.
Here is something worthy the atten-
tion of of investors. Linen manufac-
ture is one of the coming industries.
There is an opening for it in this re-
gion The west is recognized to be the
better region in the United States for
flax growing. 1t is suited for both
seed and fibre. In order to produce the
fine fibre necessary for manufactures.
special attention has to be paid to it,
making the seed part of the crop
secondary consideration.
Inc recommendations for this indus
try given by the department of agri-
culture are for neighborhoods of farm
ers. fifteen or twenty, to establish
scutch mills. where a sufficient amount
of flax may be grown 60 require the
attention of an operator and the pro-
duct properly prepared for the spin
ners. This would guarantee an even
ness Of quality and secure better
prices. The straw is worth, delivered
at the scutch mills, SO per ton.
The growing of but one kind of crop
keeps farming down to a very low and
Improbable ebb. By diversification of
products the tide of farming prosperity
will rise. We simply direct attention
TO this subject as a pointer to our agri-
culturists.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-05-13
REAL PROSPERITY.

There is now no rational effort to
dispute the fact of the improvement
in trade, the revival of industry and
the rise in wages, although the Will
son tariff reform act is in full force.
Among the many temperate yet for
chile presentations of the case, we find
the following in the Philadelphia
Ledger, an Independent Republican
paper:
ut is evident that our great indus
tries, in which so much capital Is in
vested and so many persons employed
are adapting themselves to the new
characteristic American enterprise
and determination to make the best
of the situation, whatever it may he.
Our manufacturers know that for two
or three years, at least, they can op-
crate under stable conditions, as
there can be no material tariff change
effected, and it is improbable. especi-
ally if the times should grow pros
porous, that even after that period
the present tariff will be radically
changed. 1t is defective On many of
its provisions, and needs to be re-
vised, but necessary. sagacious revi-
sion is not likely to provike any such
disturbing and disastrous discussion
as that which followed the suIbstitu-
ton of the Wilson for the Mckinley
tariff.
'SThe real and the desirable pros
perity of the country is not such as
that which confers great profits upon
the comparatively few, but that which
assures fair, or generous wages, to the
great multitude of the wage-earners.
When these latter are well paid for
their labor there is no sort of business
which is not stimulated by the i'm
proved condition, and when from all
parts of the country reports are re-
ceived of wages being voluntarily in
creased, the prospect of genuine re-
vival of trade and the return of COM
mon prosperity becomes more than
promising; it becomes assured"

Secretary of the Interior Hoke
Smith, in a recent interview with the
Athens. Ga. Banner. has spoken of
the great benefit which the Southern
States will derive from the geological
and meteorological survey soon to be
completed. North Georgia, North and
South Carolina, the Virginias and the
mineral lands of the Southern Appal-
achian range have been thoroughly
surveyed and a full description OF this
section of the Union will be published.
The store of wealth that lies buried
in the hillsides and mountains of the
Southern States will be revelation
to the Northern and Western miners
and capitalists and will surprise even
the best informed men of the South.
The work is under the direction of
the Secretary of the Interior, and Mr..
Smith intends to have placed at the
Cotton States and International Expo
siton a complete exhibit Of the vari-
Gus minerals found in the South.
