BUILD BIG PICKLE TANKS.
Marshall Vinegar Company Gets Ready
to Store keokuk County Crop.

Carpenters left today for Ollie, Keo-
kuk county, where they Will build an
office building and seven large wooden
tanks in which will be stored the crop
Of cucumbers grown on the 100 acres
the company has under contract in that
county. The tanks will have a capac-
ity of from 500 to 1000 bushels each.
AS the cucu7nbers are delivered they
will be placed in brine In these tanks,
where they will be kept until needed for
packing in packages at the company's
local factory. The prospects for a crop
in Keokuk county are good better than
they are here, because that section has
had more rain than this county. Mr.
Doolittle estimates that about one
quarter of the vines in this vicinity
have been burned up by the heat and
drouth The prospects for a crop have
become better since the rains Of the
last two weeks, but the cucumbers will
mature later than usual and the yield
depends largely on the weather between
now and picking time.
