Baggage to CheswOId.
Special Correspondence to the TINES
CHEswoLD, Jan. 13-W. T & S. w.
Preston, of Havre de Grace, Md, have
bought the Assau & Baines cannery
plant, and are making all preparations
for packing tomatoes here next season.
The Messrs. Preston are established
packers, and have several brands well
known and popular on the market. 1t
is announced they will contract with
growers at 81 per ton, with payments,
September 18th and October 18th.
The cloud that is now hanging over
parties now engaged in canning in this
state, because of the notorious past
failures, entailing losses to tomato
growers, is most unfortunate. The
great demand for tomatoes, and high
prices scouped on by non-contractors
last year, produces feeling of inde-
pendence, on tie part of many of our
growers, while many others think this
is the year to contract, because last
season was an exceptional one. The
feeling for cash on delivery is running
pretty strong among growers every
where, which would require a very
large capital on the part of the Gamer.
We wish our new comers great success
hoping also they will be able to win
the confidence of the growers by pro-
ducing good record.
Jas. p. Moore, new settler from
the northern part of New York, arrived

pie, and expects to till the Sherry
Carny farm of is acres, which he re-
