men are engaged IN overhauling the ma
chinery and making necessary improve
ments The local firm expects to can a
large quantity OF tomatoes this. year and
the farmers are expecting a good crop.
A local dealer in canned goods in dis
bussing the fruit canning business through
out Delaware said today;
"As the packing season comes on more
and more speculation is made upon the
extent of the coming pack and the prices
which will prevail for the canned pro-
duct. The acreage will be much less in
New Castle county this year than last
season. This is due to two reasons, The
first being the extremely low price fol
canned goods and consequently the re-
fusal Of the Gamers to contract for q
large acreage and the second the reduc.
ton in the price offered for raw material
This. however. may be considerably off
set by a favorable and long continued
season."
