le Birdsong Bros. factory new ma d
linery is being installed that will Il
IN the peas without being handled .
Y human hands from the time they "
ave the fan until they are ready for I
e labels. This factory expects to +
)uble the pack of last year and have .
ven out double the amount of seed
sas for this year. The Draper fac
ry is being improved and their pack
i'll also be increased. The market
+ peas is much better than toma-
es and the factories will bend their
forts toward the former crop rather q,
an to tomatoes. There is a tendency y,
the part of the farmers not to grow n,
matOes unless the price is better y,
an last year and the Gamers can y
t see their way to offer even the NJ
ice offered last year. o1
