The Gamers are packing Keiffer pears.
The Robinson factory had more than
Il, 900 baskets piled up before starting to
can them. The Reese factory is canning
few pears, but they are packing only
the best grades, and handling them over
each day so as to get the yellow pears as
they ripen. This insures a better fruit
when opened in the winter, and much
handsomer, while the amount of sugar is
lessened.
Digging and storing sweet potatoes is
well underway, and while many are stor-
ing, there are others who believe that
selling at the depot for immediate ship
ment, will be more profitable for them.
The varying conditions among growers
regulates the storage of potatoes. Those
who will move at January lst to another
farm, are selling now, and also those
who are not equipped with proper stor-
age houses are disposing of their crop.
The town authorities will make ordin-
ances which will prevent building wooden
buildings within the business part of
Harrington, and this will in a measure
prevent big fires from spreading rapidly.
and give the iremen a chance to control
conhagrations.
