The erstwhile war between the to
mato growers and the canning factory
people is pretty much a thing Of the
past The Utah Canning company is
now. negotiating for contracts with the
farmers for tomatoes at s. per ton, the
contracts to extend three years. Farm
ers generally pronounce the form Of
contract fair and equitable, contain

for which they cOntended in the farm
ers' union last year while on the other
hand a number of reasonable cOnces-
siOnS to the factory people are made.
The three-year provision in the con-
tract is quite satisfactory to both sell
err and buyer Of the crop, as il puts
the business on a more stable basis
and insures a constant market for the
crop.
The new contracts are being made
mostly with growers Of tomatoes whose
farms are on bottom land which, it is
claimed, produces a better quality OF
vegetable.
