FOOD CANNING Is
LEADING INDUSTRY
From Small Beginning 1t Has
Grown to More Than A
Billion Dollars.

Washington, March From al
small beginning the canning of food
has grown into a billion dollar in
dustry. AS figures go these days
even the production Of a billion dol
lars worth of food a year might fail
to impress, but when this figure is
translated into five to six billion
cans of food it is almost more than
the human mind can grasp.
An idea of the magnitude of the
industry may be gained from the
latest U. S. census report (1919) on
canned foods. Exclusive Of molasses
and syrup the figures show a total
of 1886, $685. GAG cans valued at
1897 s26,74s.
Therefore taking into account
potted and canned meats, other
miscellaneous meat products, and
molasses and syrup, the grand total
above tabulated would approximate
close to 5000, 100000 cans.
Not only does the United States
now lead the world in the produc.
ton of canned foods but this food
is the best Of any country. Major j.
H. Adams, U. S. A., Of Washington,
chief of subsistence, quartermaster
generals office, rently said:
"American canned food is the
best in the world, with a few minor
exceptions. The French are known
for a certain high grade pea and
the Norwegians have attracted at
tention with baby carrots. I have no
doubt, however, where special
claims are~made for foreign goods,
our own people feel confident they
are meeting the same stand of ex-
cellence.
eve are about down to normal
with our army food supplies now
that we have our shelves cleaned
up and the buying will naturally
increase. l venture to say our pur-
chases will be heavier than during
the last two years. / have not the
figures with me for fruits, meats
and vegetables but you, can get an
idea about what army con-
sumes along other lines when 1 say
that our requirements for the COM
ing fiscal year will equal some
thing like:
100000 cans assorted uers, 144..
900 cans blackberries, 100000 jars
assorted jam, $4,000 cans assorted
marmalade, 149,000 jars assorted
marmalade, $4,000 cans assorted
preserves, 100000 jars assorted
preserves, $4,000 cans Il gallon)
syrup, $4,000 cans sardines, $4,000
bottles Il quartz Olives, $4,000
cans t1>quart) olives.
All of which gives an idea of the
immense amount of canned food
consumed in the army alone. Ac-
cording to government statistics
canned products in United States
amounted in 1919 to. over $780,
100000 and at least from $780,
100000 to s250,O00,000 was paid
that year to the farmer by the IAN
ner for raw produce. Considering
the wheat crop of 1921 which was
worth about $1,oOO,o o0, 900, it is
readily seen that the canning crop
of 1919 represented about one
fourth Of the value of the 1921
wheat crop to the farmer.

MORE INITIATION?

There is more than $3,000,000,000 Of
gold in the federal reserve banks, nearly
half of the money-gold in the world.
That is incomparably more than any ma
ton ever had before 1t is twice as
much as this country had four years ago.
1t is a potential basis for billions of
credit more than are now outstanding
Money is "easier" already, as every
body knows. 1t can be borrowed again,
on rather reasonable terms, almost any
where, for legitimate purposes. 1t is
getting easy to borrow, TOO, for some IL
legitimate purposes. Interest rates may
go still lower.
This is good for business. 1t is pos
sibly the biggest factor in the revival of
business activity now well under way
The new credit is fresh blood for indus
try and trade.
There is danger in it, too. Some fl
nancial experts are talking of new
period of imitation, with prices rising
again. and speculation increasing. May
the country be saved from that Far
better than any sudden boom would be
the completion of the deaation process
not quite accomplished yet in some
lines-and then a steady, sound build
ing up of business all around. That
would last. and benefit everybody Booms
are business fevers, sometimes fatal and
always followed by depression.

One of the ideas which the late Allen

tensively, had he lived. would be a less
ening in the number of laws which over
lap one another with a resulting ex-
pense to the taxpayer. Judge Il. G..

of the same opinion and many eminent
iurists have engaged in an attempt TO
stop practice of passing so many laws
that it is almost impossible to be law
abiding citizen.
1t is the opinion of The News and
many lawyers that a considerable per-
centage of the laws, now on the statute
books of Vermont are unconstitutional.
Men are continually committing per-
jury in the courts when asked to dis
close as to where they secured their in
toxicating liquor 1t is matter of
doubt if they could be forced to- make a
disclosure One of the cardinal prin-
ciples of law is that man cannot be
made to testify AGAINST himself. When
he buys liquor he is just as guilty of a
violation of the law as the man who
sells it. Therefore when he testifies a.
to the effect he purchased liquor he is
discriminating himself. 1t is so with
MANY laws

Racing for Grade Crossings.

The officials of the Central Vermont
railroad who entered a protest to the
state automobile department against
what appeared to the engineer of a Cen
trail Vermont train to be a fragrant case
of disregard of caution by a motorist
in operating motor vehicle at a grade
crossing in Sheldon was justified in his
position. To the engineer it appeared
that the motorist Voluntarily raced with
the train over distance of half a mile
TO the grade crossing in question and
the automobile barely got across the
track when the train Numbered by. 1t
was said that the sight of the train
must have been visible to the motorist
half mile back from the crossing. Per
haps there is another side to the story.
At any rate, the motorist in question,
the number of whose car was taken,

to present his side of the case and then
let the state automobile department ex-
ercise its best judgment in deciding the
case.

THE TWO GIANTS.

Genoa fails, but the British pound is
worth more than it has been for years
It is almost within forty cents of par,
which means that British paper currency
is worth more than ninety cents per dol
lar in gold. The strenuous efforts made
by lloyd George at Genoa were exerted,
evidently, more for the rest of Europe
than for Great Britain. The British
can get along-better with Europe set
on its feet economically, but fairly well,
anyway-with their world empire.
As for America, we have forty per
cent of the worlds gold in our treasury
dollar at par and credit unlimited, and
what may abroad, things are going to
work out all right for us.
Like the British, we realize that il
would help along our prosperity a great
deal if foreign nations were able to pay
their debts and buy our goods in larger
quantities still, we can manage
Whatever may happen abroad. we may
reasonably expect more prosperity than
any other nation could expect for many
years under the most favorable circum-
stances imaginable.
America and Great Britain are the
two national giants, in business power
money power, man power and political
power. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
in the international balance, they alone
weigh more at present than all the rest
of the world together.
