Owing to the increased capacity of
the Milton Canning COmpany's plant
more than 100 women, white and
colored, will be given employment
during the lima bean packing sea-
son, which will begin about the 10th
of August. Local women help is de-
sired by the packing concern and II
application is made Off work by our
women then it will not be necessary
to get foreign help. Let Mr.. H. Z.
Nicholson have your name during the
next three days. We want to keep
/ this money in Milton and not send
it out of town.
While the recent heavy rains have
damaged the lima bean crop, pres
ent indications are that the pack
by both the Milton Canning Company
and the Draper Company will be
about normal because Of the in
creased acreage planted. Early
beans suffered the most while the
later crops will be about normal IN
output. Very few tomatoes were set
ont by local growers this year be-
cause of the condition of the canned
goods market and the pack here will
be somewhat curtailed.
