California and Colorado. Tomato
packing embraces practically the
same territory.
Modern machinery has done much
to facilitate the swift harvesting and
canning of products. Peas, for eX-
ample, are no longer cut by hand; in
stead, the vines are cut with a now
ing machine. A special thresher re-
moves the peas from the pods, and
they are then assorted according to
their size. This is done by a sort
ing machine, consisting of a series of
cylinders having perforated sides.
The first has the smallest perfora-
TONS thereby admitting only the
smallest peas; the second has larger
perforations which let through the
next in size, and so on until there are
five different sizes of peas. There
is no difference in the quality of the
peas thus graded, since all are equal
ly fresh from the vines, but the small,
succulent variety, known as French
peas, command the highest price,
while the largest peas, having the
most in demand.
Each vegetable requires a different
type of machinery. Corn is husked,
silkde, cut from the cob and packed
by various machines, while string
beans require a separate machine for
every process, from the stringing and
cutting into even lengths to the final
packing after they are blanched and
parboiled. Tomatoes are first placed
under a coring machine which re-
moves the core neatly without break
ing the fruit, after which they are
scalded and the skin is pealed off by
another machine. More hand-labor
is used in the preparation of toma-
toes than in any other vegetable, but
experiments are now being made with
new machinery designed to eliminate
as much of it as possible.
In the old days when almost the en-
tire canning process was performed
by hand, with no regard for chemical
analyses, people were somewhat justi-
fed in their suspicion of everything

THE GAMERS MOBILIZE
By Frederic J. Haskin

ME- American canning industry is
now mobilizing for the big
packing season which lasts from
May until August. Plants are al
ready at work in California, where
asparagus is just at the height of its
season, boats are starting for Alaska
with machinery and equipment for
packing salmon, and large outfits are
on their way toward the big agricul-
tural sections of the country that yield
plentiful supplies of berries, tomatoes,
peas and corn. The oyster and shrimp
packing establishments of Baltimore
and along the Mississippi river have
just been closed.
Since it is necessary to can a pro-
duct as soon as possible after 1t has
been gathered, because of it's rapid
deterioration, the canning industry
cannot establish one central branch in
a large city where there is an abun-
dant supply of labor and have the
products shipped to it. Instead, it
must transport its employees and
equipment to the section where the
product is plentiful and pack it with
in "a hours after it has left the earth.
While this factor is source of great
annoyance to the Gamers, it is very
beneficial to the consumer, who in
buying canned vegetables secure
fresher products than they usually do
in the-city market.
Corn, for example, deteriorates
more quickly than most vegetables;
hence, it Is rushed through the can
neries at the greatest possible speed
sometimes in ton quantities. In order
to get the best results, just 12 hours
may elapse between the gathering of
corn and the sealing of the cans
Seed corn is grown almost entirely in
Connecticut and distributed among
the different sections of the country
growing sweet corn for the packing
industry. In the corn season, pack
ing establishmentsA are numerous all
the way from Maine to Maryland, and
west of Missouri and thence to Iowa.
Peapacking is carried on from New
York south to Maryland, west to Indi-
ana and north as far as Minnesota,
while some peas are also canned in

work that must be undertaken imme-
diately after March 4 next.
Opposed to Mr.. Kreider for the
nomination is Arthur Rupley, whose
candidacy is a joke. Rupley was
elected Congressman n-at-large in 1912
because he happened to be on the
Roosevelt slate. In Congress he
promptly allied himself with. the
Democrats and voted for every impor-
tant measure the Wilson admins
tration presented, including the free
trade Underwood tariff bill. Now he
poses as a Republican and asks to be
the candidate of a party and a district
pledged to the protective tariff prin-
ciples which he repudiated during his
brief two years in Congress. 1t Is
impossible to consider him seriously.
