Middletown. Sept. ~ The Baker
corn packing plant has closed for the
season of 1913. and has packed o total
of 81. 900 cases. or over three quarters
of million cans of sweet corn. The
factory employed nearly hundred Boz

pie. and in four weeks they were in
operation paid for labor alone over So
900 much of which was spent here at
home.
The firm had contracts with the farm
ers in this neighborhood for 800 acres of
sweet corn of the evergreen variety for
which they paid IS 80 ton delivered at
the factory. They also had contracts
for 100 acres of the shoe peg variety for
which they paid $40 ton. II is an
easy matter to figure about how much
money was paid the farmers for grow
ing sweet corn during the season. The
firm closedup their accounts the Monday
after finishing the seasons pack, set
Ting with the farmers in full.
The Bakers have long been recogniz-
ed as among the leading corn packers
in the country, the market offering a
regular demand for their product year
after year. They operate a number of
factories. Many years their entire
pack is sold even before the corn is
planted. Theirs is quality product
and is sold throughout the country.
