peas are practically on the move un-
til they are stored away in cases of
IL cans each. The thresher opens
the pods and extracts the food prod
uct, passing that portion into large
hoppers, while the refuse is carried
away. From the hoppers the peas
are carried to the second story of the
factory by endless chain elevators,
where they are washed and sorted as
to size. The peas pass along from
one part to another with the pre-
cision of clockwork. receiving seven
cleanings and washings before they
are dropped into the cans, the last
one being a hand picking, as the lit
tie pellets pass over long moving
table. Here women remove yellow
peas or any particle of the pod that
may have escaped the several pre-
vious cleanings.
"In the meantime girls are placing
cans, with the tops all pointing in
one direction, on an endless tram
way, by which they are carried to
the machine which does the filling,
by which each can receives automat-
ically an equal amount of peas and
liquid called brine. On the cans go,
without even hesitating, tipping to
an angle of perhaps 40 degrees, so
that each can contains exactly the
same quantity of brine.
GAS the cans pass along, girls place
over the open tops a solder-lined cap
with a small hole in the center. Au-
tomatically the cans pass to q large
disc, where red-hot irons press down
upon the tops of the cans, which are
now revolving, melting the solder
and cementing the top to the can
The small hole in the center of the
can, purposely placed there to allow
the heat occasioned by the soldering
iron to escape, is closed few mo-

Something of what a cannery can
grow to mean to a community is
shown by extracts taken from the
Norvalk (Ohio) Reflector-Herald,
concerning the canning factory in
that place. The papers were kindly
handed the Tidings by Mrs. Hattie
Rose and Ed L. White, former resi-
dents of Norwalk, and Mrs. Rose
states that the business described
grew from a small pickle factory at
first employing about seven people.
The paper says, under date of June
2S:
"If there is a hive of bees located
anywhere upon the face of the globe
that exceeds the industry now being
displayed at the canning factory of
the w. c. Pressing Company on
North West street, it has got to be
buzzing some. Day and night the
200 or more employees are working
to the limit of their endurance in an
endeavor to take care of the crop of
LOO acres of peas which are COM
ing to the factory faster than was
anticipated on account of the pc
culiarity of the weather since plant
ig time. The continued hot weather
has ripened the peas much faster
than was anticipated, and there were
received at the factory yesterday
peas that were not expected for three
weeks. At O'Clock last evening 49
loads, were lined up on West street
and on the factory grounds, waiting
to be driven up to the six threshing
machines 1t has been a strenuous
week, but w. c. Pressing and his
sons, Walter and Herbert, have been
equal to the occasion and so far have
been able to cope with the situation
without loss OF anything other than
sleep.
Thursdays product was $4,000
cans of peas. The figure seems al
most incredible until one goes
through the factory and sees with
what precision and absolutely no loss
of motion the product of the farm
moves along through the factory un-
til it is eased and laid away for final
inspection and shipment.
"a wagonload of the peas, which
are harvested just as hay would bel

the threshers and the produce

when removed from the steam
chambers the cages are attached to
a moving cable and run slowly
through a tank of running water 100
feet in length, which requires 16
minutes for the operation. This is
done to cool the product, which 9TH
erwise, under the tremendous heat
to which it has been subjected for
S2 minutes, would continue to cook
until it became nothing but mush.
The cooling tank ends at a large
door in the storehouse, and the iron
cages are brought into this large
room on the travelling crane, where
they are placed in cases and piled up
in tiers to await inspection and label
ing.
"The inspecting of the cans is
about the only operation that is not
done by hand, for ingenious ma
chimes put the boxes together and
paste the labels on the cans.
"One of the most noticeable fea-
lures of trip through the canning
factory, and the one, perhaps, that
appeals most strongly, is the neat
ness of the factory and the cleanli-
ness with which the product is han
died from start to finish. Certain it
is that Mr.. Pressing has taken ad-
vantage of every sanitary device and
provided every possible sanitary con-
dition in his factory.
Not only is the w. G. Pressing
Canning Company giving employ
ment to a large number of people
and distributing large sums of mon
ey among the farmers of this vicin-
ity, but it is spreading the fair name
of Norwalk throughout the length
and breadth of the land. Three mil
lion, five hundred thousand cans
with the name 'Norwalk' on them
will go out from this factory this
summer and fall, which cannot helr
but mean some good for the city,"
