WHY THE cANNERY sHouLoRuN

Delta County located in one of the
richest agricultural regions in the
state of Colorado, produces fruits and
vegetables far in excess of consump-
tion. The Delta cannery provided an
outlet for this over-supply, the prices
received by the producer being justly
commensurate with the cost of pro-
duction The building of a cannery
in Delta meant good news to the
farmer, whose problem was not how
to grow his products, but how to mar
ket them. The cannery was complet-
ed, equipped and in working order in
short time, and during the years it
was in operation, a considerable acre
age of vegetables was contracted as
was also carloads of excellent fruit.
In some instances the fruit was purch-
ased on the trees, the cannery paying
extra for pickers and haulers or hir-
ing it done. For about six months
in the year, the cannery afforded en-
loyment for workers, mostly women
and girls, who could get no other en-
ployment. After several years, when
the cannery was considered to have
become a permanently established in
dustrial factor, farmers were making
plans to enlarge their acreage of pro-
ducts for the cannery when it was un-
Officially announced that tthe cannery
would not run. During the past
season there was nothing doing at our
one-time busy cannery, which was a
disappointment not alone to the pro-
ducer, but to the scores OF former en-
ployees as well to whom a monthly
pay-check meant much. 1t is an un,
disputed fact that home-industry with
its monthly payroll is the secret OF
growth in any community. A good
example of such is The Holly Sugar
Factory the grower and producer
working comparatively and getting
results that make for community
prosperity Can you account for the
increase in beet acreage year after
year? The beet checks received al
regular intervals is one answer to the
questions. A peep at the factory il
action is another. Is there any doub
in the mind of the beet grower as tC
whether he will sell his product? The
grower contracts his crop before it II
planted. 1t is sold before it /.
grown at a price commensurate will
the cost of production. With tn,
choicest Of products at our very door
at a price thai defies competition
with a substantial building well-equip
ped to handle these products, will
scores OF people, otherwise unemploy
ed, seeking employment, with hund
reds of loyal patriotic residents o
Delta and Delta County boosting 70
home production and home consump
tion of Colorado products, the Delft
Cannery should, and it will run.
