CANNERY IS
AFTER PEARS
Advertisement of Horticultural
Union Causes Some Com
ment in This City

Yakima valley people interested in
the fruit business should sit up and
take notice because of an advertise
ment which appeared In The Herald
of Sunday. It announced that the
Horticultural union wants fifty tons OF
pears, as small as two inches in diam
eter and rough or Embarked pears
will not be rejected. The Herald
made an inquiry or two about this
Monday and learned that the pears
were wanted for cannery purposes
and that they are to be shipped out
of the valley to some cannery plant
not in this section, though it is pre-
sumed to be in the state. If one were
going to guess, and in the absence of
definite information, one will have to
guess it would be that the cannery
is at or near to Puyallup.
Why Not Here
If it is possible to carry fruit any
distance by rail and then can and
sell it to advantage, then it certainly
is possible to can it here. 1t is rec
ognized that canned fruit, to be sue
cessful before the public. must be put
up where it is grown. In shipme nt
it becomes bruised and under the
canning process. especially with pears,
these bruises deform or mar the pear
either making a cut necessary to re-
move the bruise or leaving a rust spot
on the preserved fruit. If it is pos
sible to purchase pears and othex
fruit in North Yakima for CannerY
purposes, then it would appear to be
possible for the man on the ground
to procure sufficient fruit for the ope-
ration of small plant. At least this
is the manner in which the question
was discussed Monday by people who
had seen the advertisement of the
Horticultural union and who were in
terested in 1t.
1t is understood that the question
of canneries is under consideration by
a committee of the Commercial Club
which is to report at some later meet
ing so that action, if recommended,
may be taken this winter.
