4SLARCE CANSOFPEACHESPER
MINUTE CANNED In PLANT HERE
Plant Just Beginning Operations, To Increase Out
put Rapidly More Workers
Needed

Two hundred workers employed by
the Americas Canning Co.. subsidiary
of Roberts Bros, Baltimore Gamers,
are turning out As No. 2 IL cans of
peaches per minute at the packing
plant on Hampton street, and the
Mace is a scene of unusual activity
nowadays. The plant has just started
in operation, but already good prog
ross has been made, and as soon as
additional workers can be secured
two additional canning machines VIII
he nut into operation, increasing the
ou+nut of the plant to just three
times what it Is now.
Several years ago Roberts BROS
orora+ed the plant here, Messrs. Lam
eyIell being their representatives IN
Ar1aricus. and these gentlemen came
here this year to arrange tor the
onening Of the plant. They have re-
trrned however, to Baltimore, and
the plant now is being operated un-
der the supervision of f. R. McShane,
H |. BoIden and s. E. Roberts, all
of whom are interested in the Amer
lens Canning Co. Mr. McShane is ac-
tive manager of the local plant while
it is in operation.
I65 Can Capacity
1--WE are packing now No. 2 IL
cans" he said, "and the one machine
we have in operation has capacity
of 165 cans a minute, but it is only
putting up as cans, as the workers
have not vet learned to do their work
rapidly. Later on, after they have
become accustomed to their duties,
we will be able to operate at full
speed, and when we have enough help
we will put the other machines in
operation.
"All of the peaches we are packing
today are put up entirely without
sugar, and they are processed in the
cans. No solder or acid of any kind
is used in sealing the cans, which are
strictly sanitary. being sealed by ma
chinery and without being touched by
the. human hand after going into the
can. The peaches are processed after
being sealed by being immersed in a
bath of boiling water for a time suf-
ficient to guarantee their keeping in
perfect condition until the can is op-
ened. About two hundred and fifty
cans are processed at one time, and
Americus times-recorder., 1920-06-13

these are then placed in cold water
where they remain until cooled.
THE peaches after being stoned are
passed into the cans, hull and all, but
this hull is loosened during the pro-
cessing, and the housewife who makes
pies of them months hence, or soon
er, may easily remove this with the
fingers. The water placed in the
cans is the same that you use every
day and is drawn from the city water
system, being first heated by passing
through steam heated pipe. No live
steam touches this water, however, as
it is heated while passing in its own
pipe through another"
Table Fruit Next
Next week, Mr. McShane said the
plant may begin the packing of ta-
bic peaches, these being packed in
thick syrup, and when properly can
ned making a product much superior
to the California product, which de-
pends almost entirely upon sugar for
its flavor, while the natural delicacy
of the Georgia peach goes into the
canned article turned out at the To-
cal plant. The canning company does
not buy "culls" as so many people
here think, but instead purchase
whole orchards, canning the entire
yield, and using only superior fruit
The fruit being canned this week is
that from the Feagin orchard, the
seasons yield of which was purchased
recently.
Although it is not the present in
tention of the canning company to
san anything but peaches, plans are
under consideration for the packing
of a large quantity of vegetables this
season, and Mr.. McShane stated that
the company would be glad to contin-
ue the plant in operation here regu-
larly, if proper cooperation could
be secured between Americus bust
ness men and producers of vegetables
and fruit suitable for canning. The
payroll of the plant when in full op-
Grafton is about $1,000 a week. and
at present it is more than $500.

ANOTHER CONCERT SEA-

(Continued from page 1l

 during the days preceding the con- certs. Mir. Hadley is one of the fav- orites of Litchfeld County. The people like to hear anything he has composed, and they were enthusias- tic over the works and the way in which they were rendered Thursday night. The opera "One of Cleopa- tra's Nights" was produced at the Metropolitan Opera in New York last winter and made a decided hit, as the selections from it did at Norfolk.
 The Litchfeld County Choral Union and all it's guests had been looking forward with great expec- tancy to the coming of Sergei Rachmaninoff, the famous pianist and composer, recognized as one of the greatest living geniuses of music in all the world. 1t was rightly said | by one of the critics that "Rachman- inoff is a personality and in this case personality the memory of which will always haunt the Norfolk Music She'd" He played his Concerto for Pianoforte and Orchestra" and as an encore his "Prelude in c sharp mic nor," a composition as beautiful as the concerto.
 Henry P. Schmitt who selects the orchestra each year for the festival conducted for Mime. Hempel, Rach- maninoff ands the Tchaikovsky sym phony "Pathetique" and also the singing by the audiences of "Ameri- ca" which brought the festival to close. The "Pathetique" symphony was one of the most beautiful or chestral numbers in all the programs of the union in manyryears. It is described as a mighty lament in mu- sic and was the last effort of Tchai- kovsky, a sort of review in music of the life of the composer. During his life success did not come to him as he hoped and this symphony was the expression of his disappointment.
 The program was so selected that it furnished to the chorus an oppor- tunity for recreation from the hard work which it had undergone during the past five months and for inspira- tion for future work. It showed the splendid tastes and discrimination of the patrons, MT. and Mrs. Stoeckel This last concert was not the typical concert of the Litchfield County Choral Union but it was generally acclaimed as the greatest, most inter esting, fascinating third night con. cert Norfolk has ever witnessed.

San Francisco, July 2.-Delegates
and crowds were slower than ever in
arriving at the auditorium for the fifth
days session. When the monster pipe
organ began its recital, thirty min
utcs before the hour set for convening,
its harmony surged out into an almost
empty auditorium.
T'or awhile the organist confined
himself to opera, but as the crowd be-
gan to gather he switched to a livelier
air and got some of the early arrivals
singing and whistling. There seemed
to be holiday spirit in the galleries
and their occupants looked forward to a
real show.
The hour Of 10 came and went with
hardly a handful Of delegates on the
floor and with great empty patches in
the galleries. Only a few of the big
leaders had come in.
The delegates seemed good -natured
ms they gathered on the convention floor.
despite the trouble that was brewing
behind the scenes. They filed in Joking
and laughing as they asked one another
what the fireworks were going to be
like. Meantime the band, the organ and
a ladies trio Joined in Smiles"
Ten fifteen saw most of the delegates
assembled. but on the platform there
was not a sign of the convention officials.
They stayed in the background working
out details of procedure with the OPP
posing leaders. The music kept up, but
the crowd manifestly was fast losing in
terest in it and kept up rumble Of
speculation about,the coming fight.
At 1927 Chairman Robinson. Sen
ator Glass and Mr.. Bryan appeared to-
gether on the platform and there was a
scattered patter Of applause. Some
cheers for Bryan followed from corners
Of the galleries and there were lot of
impatient demands that the convention
get under way.
Let's go, let's go!' the crowd
yelled; The bdnd quleted It by striking
up "Over There"
Apparently the plan Of procedure had
not yet been completed and Senator
Robinson and the others on the plat
form gathered in a little circle and put
their heads together, while the i'm
patience of the delegates gathered in the
