Canned Tomato Pack
Nav Set State Record

One of the largest packs of canned
tomatoes and tomato juice in recent
years is in the making in Maryland,
according to W. C. Stolk, vice-presi-
dent of American Can Company, who
bases his statement on the container
requirements of tomato Gamers.
A conservative estimate on that
basis, said Mr. Stolk, would place the
nations 1916 whole tomato pack at
approximately rs million cases, or
6O0,000,000 cans. Last years pack
was only 16,757,75O cases. The av-
erage annual prewar pack of canned
tomatoes in TIE years 1874, when
help was readily available, was 27,-
100000.
A similarly conservative estimate
of the nations 1916 tomato juice
pack, made on the same basis, would
be approximately 30,000,000 cases as
compared with 2S,000,000 cases last
year, accodring to the can company
official. The average annual prewar
pack of canned tomato juice in the
years 1937-41 was l6 6,000,0 cases.
Acreage of vegetables for canning
continue to show marked increase
over acreage for fresh vegetables,
said Mr.. Stolk, who attributed this
steady growth partly to the stabiliz-
ing effects of the tin can in the ma
tons agricultural economy. 1t has
provided American truck farmers
with broader markets, he explained,
by making possible year-round con-
sumption of vegetables produced dur
ing the short growing season.
