SALTIMG
STATION IS NEW
FARMERS ASSET
Institution lust Completed on
w. Washington Av. Provides
Market for Product PartlCu-
IarIy Suited to County Soil.

Ct Joseph county farmers, especial
" those in the Immediate vicinity OF
South Bend. have been furnished
with one more agency for bringing
in the cash. Another asset has Deeh
added TO the farmers list by the cree
ton OF the new sailing station prac-
ticallv complete on w. washington
av
The farmers who bring their crops
to the local station. it is believed, VIII
be enriched between five and ten
thousand dollars. provided the ylelu
results as present conditions indicate.
Considerably more than 100 acres
have been contracted for by the
pickle station and ii is estimated that
in the average year the yield shoulu
net the farmers at least $15 an acre
Accommodations have been made
at the sailing station for more than
Is, 900 barrels of pickles. If the tanks
are not large enough to hold the crop
railway facilities are such that they
may be shipped. The station which
is being completed on w. Washing
ton av. has 90 tanks, each of which
it is believed will pack between 500
and 1000 barrels Of pickles.
The building has been constructed
so that the farmer can drive into the
station, unload his produce, see 1t
sorted and weighed and get an i'm
mediate order for the cash. The best
grade of pickles which must be un-
der three inches in length and will
be known as "frsts." will bring the
farmer approximately 81 a bushel.
All over this length will go for sec
onds" and will only bring the pro-
Queer half as much.
Boosts Prices.
The installation of the pickle salt
ing station among the industries of
the city will be the means of boosting
former prices. According to Fred
LObough, a prominent farmer and
truck raiser former prices for 'firsts"
have been as low as % cents a bushel.
In the past there has been no
wholesale market for selling pickles,
quantities even to grOcers. The work
OF peddling the produce from house
TO house cost the producer, he de-
clared, more than the profit realized.
Before building the station here the
COMPANY which is managed by Frank
Norris OF Galien, Mich, under the di-
rection of the Reed Murdoch Co, Of
Chicago, which has similar plants in
different parts of the country, Sc
cured contracts with farmers of this
vicinity guaranteeing that they will
deal with the local company.
Soil Suited to Pickles.
st. Joseph county is especially suit
ed to pickle raising, according TO
John S. BOrdner, county agent. the
soil being practically adopted to it.
The business. it is thought, will be
unusually good in this immediate
vicinity, as assistants can be obtain
ed from the city to help with the
picking.
Pickle sailing stations have been
constructed at Lydick and at Osceola.
With the addition of these three
plants. making fxe in all, the county
has been furnished with an excellent
opportunity for increasing its pro-
duce. Walkerton and LakevilIe have
been the homes OF stations for a num-

Mr.. Holmes replied:
The language expressing my opin-

see civilization blown 10 pieces is a
horrible spectacle. When / left the
British Isles everyone was saying
oh. the Germans will be easy for the
combined armies and navies of the
