 Since the rain the crops in this vi cinity are looking much better.
 The Rambling Pea Pod man sure must be a rain witch. Our little neighborhood was burning up for want of rain, when on Saturday he became the guest of William Lantrip. While MT Beck was here we received a fine rain. We have read in the Pulaskian where in some other part of the country was calling for the Pea Pod man, as they were needing rain, and we learned upon his arrival there they received plenty of rain.

CANNED GOODS
 PRICES ARE FIXED
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION HAS BEEN ACTIVE IN GET TING COST OF PRODUCTION
 FROM BANNERS.

In order to forestall speculative prices on canned goods, the Federal Trade Commission has required re- plies to a series of questions asked of all canners of vegetables, fruits and fish for the purpose of learning the prices at which the canners a1e contracting to sell this years pacl. and 10 whom. Replies have been re- ceiyod from about 1000 canning fac tories scattered from Maine 10 Alaska.
 The information collected covers other matters, but the chief point of interest is that the contract prices to be paid by middlemen for this years pack of canned foods are now defi- nitely known.
 Next autumn and winter if corr. plaints are made in any locality that unreasonable prices are being charg- CT for the canned peas. corn. toma- toes. salmon or similar products which are now being packed, the Con- mission will be in position to promptly expose any extortion.
 The Commission will also look into the quantities purchased by various dealers in an effort to prevent specu. lative holding.
 The investigation thus far discloscs the difficulty in getting tins for cans and caps as the chief obstacle in tine way of canners Several packers of salmon on the Pacific Coast state that they have been unable to secure cans on account of their refusal to sign five-year contracts with large can manufacturers. Some difficulty has also been experienced in getting la bor.
 In some cases evidence has been secured that the growers of tomatoes and other products have organized to maintain the price of raw material.
 Though complete returns are not yet in, the Commission finds that commonly the factory prices per dog en to be paid to the eanners for this years pack for No. cans standard grade, are Peas, $1.10 corn, 90 cents, and tomatoes. $1.1O. This means that the wholesaler is often paying between 1-2 and 1-2 cents per can, No. 2 size f. o. b. of vege- tables are being sold at retail in fac tory, corn being the cheaper. An agent of the Commission finds that similar cans sold at retail in Wash ington grocery stores at from 15 to 10 cents, peas averaging around IS cents and corn around IT cents. To- matoes are usually sold in larger cans, and for these the manufacturer is generally charging about 10 1-2 cents, while the retailer is getting 20 cents The figures show nearly 109 per cent differences between factory and retail prices.
 A large part of the canned goods now being sold at these prices is last years pack and was sold by the can ners at considerably lower prices than now prevail.
