NOW IS THE FARMERS
GREAT OPPORTUNITY
The Importance Of Planting
That For Which There Is
A Demand

Editor Vashon Island Record.
Dear Sir: Through the medi-
-um of your valued paper we
would like 10 call the attention
of the fruit and berry growers of
Vashon and Maury Islands to
the situation in canned goods for
next seasons pack.
The can companies have ad.
vised of an increase in the price
of tin, which will naturally in.
crease the price of canned goods
all over the United States. In
some respects this will also
cause an increase in the price
for fresh fruit.
There has been a steady and
growing demand for Loganber-
ries AS well as Kentucky Won
der beans. Let every farmer re.
alize what this means. With the
ease that these two products may
be cultivated, it is an opportunity
not to be passed by lightly. Lo-
ganberries this coming season
are going to bring the farmer 31a
cents per pound, and beans of
the variety mentioned are worth
$1,000 ton.
We would suggest that every
farmer with any doubts in his
mind as to what to use that spare
land for, set out beans and logan
berries.
Bear in mind that the cannery
is here for your benefit, and will
pay cash for all you can raise.
And not only that. we will send
you crates free and haul your
fruit from your ranch to the can.
merry on our own motor truck. You
cannot do better anywhere else.
We are giving contracts now
for next season or for a period
of years, and would advise you
to get in touch with the manage
ment if you are considering any
such plan.
Yours truly,
