Shall We Have Canning Factory?

If Randolph's profitable experience in
the canning industry, related in yester-
days Journal, can be duplicated in a
| good many other Vermont towns, it will
mean a notable addition to the prosperity
| of the state. If The journal is correctly
| informed some large crops of suuashes
| have been raised on land not considered
suitable for other purposes. The advan-
I tage of having market near home is so
obvious that argument is unnecessary.
Doubtless it is true, as The New Eng
land Homestead points out, that there
should be no headlong rush TO establish
canneries until definite arrangements
are made for marketing the product.
F With the great demand that exists for
canned goods it ought not to be difficult
matter to sell any quantity of genuine
Vermont products. This appears to be
one of the natural lines of industrial
development for this state.-Montpelier
Journal.
There is not much question but what
canning factory in Morrisville would be
profitable investment and there are loca.
tions which could be obtained for that
purpose. Morrisville wants new enter
prises. This is something that would not
take such large amount of capital and
that could doubtless be found in town.
A representative of this paper has talked
with Morristown farmers about the prop
osition and there seems to be no ques-
tion but that canning factory would be
we'll supported by that element. Now is
the time to begin to talk about a factory
to begin operations next fall.
