mont Is Sold

Fairmont, April 13.-With forty
two carloads of 1922 peas and corn
sold before the seasons crop has
been planted, the Fairmont Canning
company faces what promises to be
its most profitable year.
Last year none of the crop was
sold in advance, and although more
than 100 carloads of peas and corn
were canned, only twenty one car
loads are left. These are being ship
ped in part carload and occasional
full carload lots, and the company
expects to dispose of them before
the 1922 crop is harvested.
Last year about $50 acres were
put into peas. This year the acre
age will be increased to $50. and
400 acres Of corn will be put in in
stead of 1900,

FRUIT GROWERS
EXPRESS SOON
ON PENN. R. R.

AS a measure to secure for the pub
lie the maximum service from its
specialized equipment for handling
perishable drafiic the Pennsylvania
railroad will, effective May LIST, dis
continue entirely the operation of its
separate refrigerator car lines and will
merge all OF its refrigerator cars,
numbering 1927, with those of the
Fruit Growers Express. Thereafter
the Fruit Growers Express will as
sumo all refrigeration and protective
car service on the lines of the Penn
sylvania system.
The Pennsylvania railroad manage
ment has decided upon this sep as
being in the best interests Of the
shippers and the railroads generally.
It's most important effect will be to
more than double the number of re-
frigerator cars operated by the Fruit
Growers Express. These now number
5,2U9. With the addition OF the Penn
sylvania cars, there will be a total of
II 1876 available for service through
out the territory covered, which EN-
braces the Southern and Central
Western states east OF the Mississippi,
the Middle Atlantic States and New
England.
The Fruit Growers Express is a CO.
operative organization owned and
managed by the leading railroads of
the South and East. 1t has no indi-
vidual stockholders and no distribu-
tion of earnings outside the owning
railroads. It exists solely for the
purpose Of supplying refrigerator cars
etables and other products Of per-
ishable nature.
Traffic OF this character is seasonal,
beginning during the winter in Flor
ida and working north until the late
fruit crops of northern New York and
Michigan, and the potato crop of New
England arc reached. 1t is therefore
evident that the addition of the large
number OF cars owned by the Penn
sylvania system to those already con-
trolled by the Fruit Growers Express,
will assure better distribution and
a more flexible, efficient and economi-
cal use OF the equipment throughout
the season. 1t was for this reason
concluded by the Pennsylvania rail-
road management that the shippers
needs are better met by such an or
ganization as the Fruit Growers Ex'
press than by each railroad trying To-
cally to care fer the crops in its own
particular territory and that OF Its
connections.
The new arrangement will also Sc.
cure professional attention to all de.
tails of the protective service for all
shippers. The Fruit Growers Express
was organized two years ago and has
developed a working force specially
trained in the handling and care OF
perishabls frsight. Last year It made
u particularly successful record In
handling southern products, and It
was largely this fact which influenced
the decision of the Pennsylvania rail-
road management,
The Pennsylvania railroad was the
pioneer IN the use and development
| Of refrigerator cars, having estab
A lished the flrst lines through the
South more than thirty years ago, In
order to bring fresh fruits and vege
tables to the northern markets during
the colder seasons.
