Canning factories throughout this

pack of tomatoes, and a large pack of
sugar corn. The actual amount canned
is estimated at mole than 10000 tons
of tomatoes including the amount that
were shipped in large quantities to
Baltimore factories, while the corn crop
will average $4,000 tons. Not for sew
eral years have these canneries been so |
busy as this year. Although the weld |
was not up to expectations the local |
growers have mostly Jared better from |
their tomatoes and corn than from lots |
Of their other crops that sold extremely |
cheap. Prices for tomatoes ranged all |
the way from 20 to SO cents per basket |
for canhouse stock. This gave an
average price per ton well above the
contract price offered to the growers
before the planting season.
