FARMERS TO BOTTLE !
II &xtt,. APPLE JUICE
Cooperative Plant In Granville TO Put
Out New Product-Will Make
Apple Butter Next.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 26.-Bot-
tied apple juice, all kick removed by ster-
ilzation, will be big factor in Granville
farming this year if the plans made yes
terday by the Granville Farmers Exchange
in cooperation with members of the staff
of Hampden County Improvement league
are carried out. Preliminary plans were
made for the purchase of new equipment
for the apple by-products plant which the
exchange started last year. which will en-
able it to put out superior quality OF
bottled apple juice and utilize thousands
of barrels of apples which were formerly
of little value.
The Granville farmers made good
start toward a well equipped fruit by-pro-
ducts plant last year when they bought a
cider press and installed it IN the mill
of Howard Dickinson 1t was run CO.
operatively and the demand for sweet
cider was so good that they had no diff
Guilty in selling all they could produce.
1t seemed much better from all stand
points to go beyond the sweet cider stage
and put out a marketable bottled pro-
duct which would conform to the present
law and could be sold to advantage in
consuming centers, instead of being sold
at the mill.
Every tree is blossomed full and, with
even moderate care, enormous quantities
Of apples will be available for the plant.
The establishment of the bottlmg and
sterilizing plant is the second step in
the complete organization and equipment
Of hy-products plant in Granville. If the
business develops as the leaders expect
another year will see further equipment
for making apple butter, pie filling and

nearly 100000 men added ST per
