Canon City Without Canning Plant

large quantities here at good profit,
and there is no reason why the sue
cess of last season cannot be repeated
this year. The company is offering
$12 ton with plants furnished on
their contracts and this has been
shown to be better than the average
price paid elsewhere in Colorado and
Utah
II is true that all growers in this
vicinity. can not grow tomatoes be-
cause all have not the ground. but il
those who can do so would take a
least a portion Of an acre, the mini
mum acreage required could easily be
obtained
1t should be considered that the
canning plant makes It possible for
the eroter to dispose OF his cherris
and Gull apples at a profit where 9TH
erwise they would go to waste. That
is the big advantage of the plant to
them Therefore, in order to retain
this profitable asset. it would seem
that the grower would do well to con-
slider the needs OF the canning com
pany- When II asks for tomato acre
age its requirements should be con-
sidered not only for its good. but the
good Of the grower and the good Of
the community at large
II every grower would sign up
at least some tomato acreage the full
amount would soon be gotten and
such cooperation would result in re-
