WILL CANNING FACTORY
RESUME OPERATIONS ?
Growers of Fruits, Vegetables and
Potatoes Are Interested. Expected
Enterprise to Furnish Market.


Potatoes Are Interested. Expected
Enterprise to Furnish Market.
Unless arrangements are made at
once to resume operations at the
canning factory there will be ire
mendous waste of vegetables and
fruits that should be conserved.
When this enterprise was launched
the farmers were urged to plant
truck, and were assured of q ready
market for all they would grow.
There is naturally considerable dis
appointment that the canning fac
tory, shut down for several weeks,
seems in a fair way to remain closed
indefinitely unless something is done
to take care of the unusually large
berry crop, the surplus peaches
and the world of vegetables which
in ali reason should be stored for
winter consumption. The canning of
the large potato crop of this section
put a great deal of money in circu-
lation. and we understand proved
very profitable to the owners of the
plant.
The News knows nothing of the
reasons for the canning factory being
idle, but is only voicing the COM
plants of those who have on their
hands the stuff they have gone to ex-
pense and trouble to grow and who
very much desire the opening of
market where they may sell at
fair profit.
