, Hail Bros. Canning Plant in
this city is getting ready for a
busy season which is expected
to open with the canning of
ripe tomatoes sometime the
latter part of this month, or
when the crop is ready to be
canned.
N. B. Hall, co-owner of the
plant, states that the plant is
reqdy to handle the tomato
crop, and that machinery for
canning of peas and potatoes
is being put in place. Canning
of peas is expected to begin
about July 15th.
Mr. Hall urges tomatoes
growers to use due precaution
in protecting their tomatoes
for the canning deal. When
the tomatoes are fully matur-
ed and the weather gets hot.
he suggests that the tomatoes
be picked and placed in the
shade where they will not
blister or ruin. Stem-cracked
tomatoes are suitable for can-
ning purposes, he states. Do
not throw them away—leave
on the vine, or put them in the
shade with others. Mr. Hall
urges growers not to pick their
canning tom-toes while they
are too green.
The canning plant has a half
million cans ready for opening
of the season, which will make
jobs available for a large num-
ber of workers.
New York is the only state
touching both the Great Lakes
and the Atlantic Ocean.
