SOMERSET COUNTY
LEADS ALL
In Corn Industry of the
State
Maine Stands Third Among the States
In Value of Corn Packed.

Somerset county leads the State II
the sweet corn industry. There are
ten corn factories In the county two
at Norridgewock, one at North Ansor
and Fairfield, two at Skowhegan, one
at Plttsfeld, Solon, North Fairfield
and Embden.
Maine already stands third among
the states of the union in value of the
corn packed being exceeded only by
New York and Illinois," says an arti
Gle in the directory of the manufact
uring industries of Maine, recent.
issued by the Bureau of Industria
and Labor Statistics.
AN investigation of this industry
made by this department in 1900
showed 6S corn canning establish
ments then In operation, with a tota
pack of 22,100.O00 cans. valued at ST..
519,374.45. Returns made to this de-
partment the present year show thai
95 factories were In operation during
the packing season.
Ten years ago the farmers were
receiving $3.50 per 100 pounds oi
corn as cut from the cob. The price
was later raised to $500 and the
present year contracts have been
made at the rate of $2.25 per 1OO
pounds.
Fully 80 per cent of our corn pack
is put up in the seven counties OF
Androscoggin, Cumberland, Franklin,
Kennebec, Oxford, Penobscot and
Somerset, while a few factories are
located in Knox, Piscataquis, Waldo
and York. No corn canning factories
are reported from the counties of
Aroostook, Hancock, Lincoln or
Washington.
About one-half the number of fac
tories put up fruit and vegetables in
addition to corn, while half a dozen
others which we have included In the
list omit corn altogether in their
pack.
Experiments, with view of pre-
serving sweet corn in hermetically
sealed cans, were commenced near
Portland, Me-, about 1910, and In 1912
a piece of corn was planted for ex-
perimental purposes. At first the
whole ears were cooked and the corn
sealed up on the cob, but this proved
too bulky. and a fork was devised by
which the corn was torn from the
cob. Later a knife was used by hand
to cut off the corn.
From these crude beginnings, one
improvement after another has been
made, until now the work, after the
corn comes from the huskers, is near
ly all done by machinery, and to such
perfection has this been brought that
some of the machines seem almost to
possess human intelligence.
This industry gives employment
to about 1000 hands for a brief period,
lasting generally from four to six
weeks. Nearly one-third are females.
I'm 1899, little over 1900 acres
were planted to sweet corn In the
State, and the increased number Of
would indicate material
increase In the acreage. Many farmers
make this leading crop and prefer
1t to any other line.
