The Wausau cannery was started In
operation yesterday morning and il

fifty hands are employed, including
field laborers and when the pea crop i.
harvested the corn crop will be ready
for canning. This year the company

doing its own raising and leased about
400 acres of land near the city. The
first year is an experimental one anC
the company did not wish to go toe
deeply into the work until the quality
of goods turned out was demonstrated
but next year the work will be entered
into with more vigor. For the same
reason this years crop has not as YET

main ones are that with the beginning
of July the company would be com
PEELED to pay a license of $500; the ice
house is in need of repair, and the bust
ness hardly warrants building a new
Que, and the local agent demands q
larger salary. There was time when
the Wausau branch was paying well
enough for the company to make such
