MAKES MONEY FOR THE FARMERS
LOCAL PAPER TELLS ABOUT the CANNING
FACTORY At CLEARWATER.

The following from the Clearwater
Herald will be of general interest:
The canning seasonal the factory
is about coming to a close. Take it
all in all the season has been a very
successful one. Truck farming is
something new and entirely an ex-
pertinent, as far as this part of the
country is concerned. The farmers
who have tried it this year are more
than satisfied with the results attained,
however, and will go into the bust
ness on larger scale next year. The
Herald has taken particular pains to
find out the sentiment of the farmers
who tried truck raising this year,
and, while there may be some who
cannot see the good points yet, we
find too much evidence on the favor
able side to place its success in this
locality beyond a doubt. We will
merely cite few facts lgleaned from
farmers interviewed. One farmer told
the Herald man that he could raise
400 bushels of tomatoes to the acre.
At 30 cents per bushel this would
make return of $3.50 per acre. An
other farmer, who has raised corn,
tomatoes and pumpkins on a small
scale this year told us that he was
getting $50 per acre for everything
raised, and that he was so we'll
pleased with the experiment that he
was going into the business on
larger scale next year. Still another
farmer told us that he had raised three
tons OF beans on an acre of land,
which, at $40 per ton, netted him $780,
But why 60 on? These few illustra-
tons prove conclusively that there is
more money in the small truck farm
than large number of acres sown in
to grain and indifferently worked.
Besides, an industry of this kind is
good thing for town. 1t employs
labor and distributes money in every
channel of business. Although the
factory has been run only at about
half capacity this season from forty
to fifty hands have constantly been
employed, and about $500 per week
has been paid out in wages alone.
Naturally the biggest share of this
amount has been spent with our
home merchants. The money paid
out ito farmers, of course, is still a
bigger item, and this, too, has helped
to increase the volume of business of
our business men. The Herald looks
fora most prosperous season for the
canning factory next year.
