'Cannery Spends
Big Sum During
Canning Season
Annual Meeting Shows
Big Stock Of Toms on
Hand Yet Unsold

The Kennewick Cannery operat-
ing but a fractional part Of the sea-
son last year, nevertheless did q
gross business Of $75,243 for the
season, according to a report made
Tuesday at the annual meeting.
OF this amount $21, 522 was paid
for labor and $26.726 to the grow
ers OF the district. These amounts
helped to increase the spending
powers OF the residents Of this sec
ton and benefited trade in general
to that amount, approximately. as
this money goes to a class of peo-
pie who spend practically every
thing they are able to earn.
. During the year the cannery pro-
cessed 7728 cases of asparagus, of a
total value Of $50, 400; 2620 cases OF
spinach Of a value of more than five
Thousand dollars and more than
$4,000 cases Of tomatoes and Juice,
with value Of So, 780.
Several improvements have been
made In the plant during the year,
one Of them being the travelling
belt which facilitates the handling
Of tomatoes. A tomato juicer was
also added to the equipment which
will make 1t possible to utilize q
greater portion of the crop.
The plant generally, according Co
the report, is In good shape TO
handle this years pack.
Asparagus and spinach prices
held up fairly WELL" according to
the report "and brought fairly good
prices. The tomato situation is still
serious, but the next month or two
may see better movement.
THE present inventory Is the
largest the company has had at
this time of the year."
The plant will be ready to oper-
ate as soon as the asparagus drops
to the cannery level, Mrs. M. o.

Figures Indicate
This Will Be
Poor Spud Year
Unfavorable Condi-
tons Point to Low
Price, Large Acreage

Early spud growers in the lower
Yakima valley are due to take q
trimming this year, If figures on
past performances mean a thing,
according to a committee which
has been working during the past
few weeks on the proposition.
All conditions point to an UNI
favorable situation in the spud deal
for this year. The large. low-priced
carryover of old spuds. the increas-
ed paintings in the south which will
force the California deal into To-
cal paintings in the south which
will force the California deal into
local markets, the decreased gem
eral purchasing power and the pros
pect for increased local paintings
will all have q depressing effect, it
is pointed out.
The committee which has been
studying the potato trend with the
idea Of being able to advise the
growers consists Of Byron Baker,
Pasco; M. w. Hudnall, Kennewick;
G. F. Fletcher, Richland; 8. v. Fam
ming, White Bluffs; w. G. Muldrow,
Benton City: Milo Case, Grand
view and Trimble & Kelly at Top
penish. The sole idea Of gathering
the data Is to prevent such losses as
occurred last year.
Figures since 1894 give the fol-
lowing summaries: With 1860 acres
in spuds. the district suffered a
loss: in 1895. with 1850 acres, an
other loss. The following year,
1886, the planting in the valley
amounted to but 1900 acres, which
together with other favorable fact
ors, showed handsome profit,
which was virtually cancelled when
the acreage was more than doubled
the following year.
This year, as nearly as can be
estimated from figures furnished by
growers in the several districts, the
acreage In spuds will again be large,
about 1850 being the total In the
valley. This amount, together with
other unfavorable conditions sure
ly points to q loss, being still
greater acreage than was In dur
ing "a and IS when q loss was
sustained.
In the Kennewick- RichlAnd dis
trict the acreage this year Is near
~ as large as that for last year, but
Benton and the reservation are cut
ting down on their paintings Of
early spuds.
This information Is being passed
on solely for the purpose Of &C.
auainting growers with the pros
poets for his crop.
