N ioresee what cannery capable OF
a.ndling the vegetable and fruit pro-
duets Of this valley would mean to the
.,u,ers under the irrigation system.
/, means a certain market for their
D,oducts; It means ready money in
,hsIr pockets, and it means higher re-
turns per acre than they can other
visp hone for. In other words it means
prosperity for the valley distributed to
Al who have the land to produce and
vbo will plant and gather the crops.
