GOOD SEASON AT
CANNING FACTORIES
Output 100000 Cans Of Corn at Brat
tleboro and stminster-Govern-
ment Orders Filled.

The Snowflake Canning company,
which operates sweet corn canning
plants i'll Brattleboro and Westminster,
reports a very good season. At Brat
tleboro the output is 100000 cans and
at Westminster 100000. Some of the
corn supplied comes from New Hamp
shire and Massachusetts, but the great
er portion is produced in Windham
county. In the vicinity of Brattleboro
there are some 800 acres of sweet corn
grown for this purpose and around
Westminster there are upwards of $50
acres. The product from these plants
is put up in 20-ounce tin cans and
shipped to New York and other dis
tributing centers. This year large gov
ernment orders are being filed. The
price received by farmers is $40 per
ton delivered at the factory and this
IS about 80 per cent higher than that
Of prewar times. Three tons per acre
bringing in about 800 is considered a
good yield. Aside from this there is
the fodder. which is valuable for silage.
In some sections frost injured the crop
to some extent and the dry spell
through August probably lowered the
| production.
With great demand for all food
products the outlook for next year is
encouraging and the Snowflake Can
ming company anticipates that the price
paid the farmers will be the same as
/ this year The sweet corn industry
in Windham county is quite an exten-
sive business and this year probably
around $4,000 has been paid out for
corn by the Snowflake Canning COM
panv at their two plants in Brattleboro
| and Westminster. Similar plants are
operated at Windsor, Piermont, n. H.
and Essex Junction.
