Materials Very Hard to Get.

A year ago trouble was experienced
in getting box material. This year,
however, there was trouble i'm getting
sufficient cans. This condition will
probably not be experienced another
year, for there is now under considera-
ton the erecting of a plant i'm this city
for the manufacture of this necessary
article. Trouble was also experienced
this year in securing gasoline. There
was a general shortage of gasoline for
time owing to the fact that the rail-
roads, on account of the congestion of
freight, were unable to ship the oil into
this place fast enough to meet the de-
mand The expenses of the Gamers this
year were increased considerably on ac-
count of materials being fully twenty
per cent higher than i'm 1906. On ac-
count of the decrease in price of lum-
Der and the slump in tin caused by the
strained financial conditions, a reduc-
ton in the materials used by the can
ners will follow. During the 1907 sea-
SON solder remained firm, having in
creased materially during the previous
year. over 1906 the cost of labor in
creased about ten per cent, and there
was a scarcity of girls who are en-
ployed for peeling the tomatoes.
Utah Goods Have Staying Qualities.
An important fact and one which
proves the quality of Utah goods is that
when they. get into market once they
stay there. Originally the local mar
ket was limited to Utah. Colorado, Mon
tana and Idaho. The San Francisco dis
aster in 1906 had the direct result Of

opening the Nevada markets. which the
Utah Gamers were unable to enter be-
fore that time. The general shortage Of
the same year opened up a number of
eastern markets also. and the demand
for the local products has increased in
all these territories since that time.
Four New Factories for 1908.
In Utah there are twenty eight can
ming factories. OF this number. twen-
ty-two are located in Weber. Davis>and
Box Elder counties, eighteen being To-
Gated in Weber county alone. Four ad-
ditiOnal factories will be built during
the year. two in Box Elder county and
like number in Weber county. These
four factories will be located at West
Weber. North Ogden, Brigham City
and Three Mile Creek. Ground has al
ready been broken for the North ogden
factory. OF the total tomato pack at
this time Weber county produces so
per cent, the balance being grown in
Davis and Box Elder counties. The first
factory to be erected in Utah was con-
structed at this place in 1889, and one
or two plants have been added each
year.

piled up to this time. il is evident that
Utah has more than held its own in
the canning industry in 1907. The fig
ures show that this state has easily
maintained its position of fourth place
in its output of tomatoes, and when the
complete figures are in it is expected
that Utah VIII be found TO be i'm third
place among all of the states OF the
union Considering that the state occu-
pied eighth place in the output of this
vegetable three years ago, the jump is
all the more remarkable. The total
pack Of tomatoes this year will reach
496. 900 cases of two and a half pound
cans. and $4,000 cases of gallon cans
while the total output of all kinds of
vegeta bies and fruits will reach 733, $50
cases.
Record of a Big Year.
The year 1906 was considered a banner
year for the Utah packers, but the year

! the previous season by many thousands

poor apricot crop, but the pack OF Oln-
er fruits and vegetables showed dis

/ of peaches both east and west, result
/ ing in a poor pack in those sections.
/ The markets have extended further
east this year than even in 1906, and
! Utah canned goods found an excellent
market I'm Chicago. From $l2j.OOO to
/ $3.50, 00O have been paid out in wages,
| and for the first time in the history of
/ the state the aanneries paid Sl1 ton for
| tomatoes .as against SO last year. the
total amount paid out TO the growers
| being S225, 900. Under ordinary condi-
tions, the packers about Baltimore pay
s. and So a ton for their tomatoes, while
! this year they paid from s. to So a ton.
But twice before has the price per ton
reached as nigh as so on the local mar
kets In round numbers, $l20,000 OF
double the amount paid out year ago
was paid to the fruit growers for their
product.
Prices Continue to Rule High.

ground is then fully occupied from the

way w. Hopkins, a New York fruit
grower, who this year grew $4,000
worth of fruit, writing to the Country
Gentleman of the profits and advaE-

mites for young men, says that ne
could cite hundreds and thousands of
instances where small farms of 100
acres in New York, with only a portion
of them in fruit. have earned for the
owners competency, producing in
single years $1,000 $4,000 and even
$4,000 He refers to a young man
who bought a 100-acre farm for 81 800
with thirty acres in fruit. 1t was paid
for in four years. This year he re-
ceiVed $1,000 for the fruit on the trees
from his twenty-acre apple orchard

Nation as Producer
of Tomatoes.

total consumption of tomatoes i'm the
United States is estimated at about g.
100000 cases, and 1t is expected that the
output during 1907 will reach close to
that figure. Local markets have in
creased steadily during the year This
is said to be, i'm a large measure, due
to the influx of population to this part
of the country Then, too, in other
parts of the country the tomatoes were
of a poorer grade, a condition that also
existed in 1906, While i'm this state just
the reverse is true. The general quail
ity was of the highest grade and the
product was if anything, better in every
other way than in previous years.

Utah Gamers Reaching Out.

While the canning companies have
been increasing in number, extensive
experiments have been made in packing
the different products. In 1906 the Utah
Canning company made trial pack of
hOminy with the result that il is now
one of its staple products. The hominy
trade during the past year has IN
creased wonderfully. exceeding all ex-
pectations. From this place hominy
was shipped during the season as far
east as Omaha, a market into which
the local Gamers did not even dream of
entering Pork and beans are another
product that is now being placed on
the market by this company. WOrces-
tershire sauce is also being manufac-
tured, and occupies place on the sta
pie list of the Utah canneries. More
extensively than ever has the manu-
facture of catsup been carried on dur
ing the last year. This is true of both
the bottled goods and the gallon cans.
No less than 5000 cases of the bottled
goods. $4,000 cases of gallon cans, OF
fifty-five carloads were shipped by the
Utah concerns. The Utah catsup Is
famed for its fine color, color which
only can be secured from the tomato
grown in this state. Compared to IT the
other catsups have a muddy color.

much to be preferred TO that of a clerk

ment office. or an ordinary profession.
Even when failures occur, as in the
present year in Utah, the returns from
the fat years more than compensate
for the occasional losses.

Figures That Tell the Story.

For the Utah pack, 16,442, 400 cans, or
235 carloads of cans and five cars of
labels were required. Approximately
200 cars of coal, thirty cars of sugar
and one hundred cars of box materials
were used. To move the pack from the
Utah canneries about 1,50O cars were
necessary.
