EXPLAINED
CONCISE STATEMENT OF
WHAT AXU WHO JIEXF.FIT.
llo UonoflU to Ito Derived From a
Cannery In I. a Grande Are Varied
' Fumicr, IIiimIiipns Man and Laborer
HiittlneNM Sinn Should Help lVopono!
Projects.
During the present agitation for a
cannery In La Grande, the questions
coma up, "What do they do? What are
they? and How does the public bene
fit?"
The Observer takes pleasure In pub
lishing what is perhapB the best con
densed synopsis of the benefits of a
cannery, that has yet been compiled In
eastern Oregon: ' f
A canning factory will give the far
mers a ready cash market for vegeta
bles and fruits.
Sweet corn will be a money crop, the
advantage will be that the farmer will
know before he plants the sweet corn
Just how much per ton he will get for
It; he will have a binding contract with
the Canning company for so . many
acres at $7 per ton In the huHk. Be
sides yielding a large cash sum per
acre, the farmer has a'i? stalks, husks
and green cobs for feed.
Strawberries, raspberries and black
berries are worth about 6 cents per
quart at a canning factory; the crates
and cups are returned to the grower
as the factory has no use for them
thus with no expense for crates, cups,
freight, commtHHion, ice, etc., it would
pay to harveHt every 'ast berry.
Peuches, apples, pears can be very
profitably dlaposedf at a canning
factory. Thousands of bushels, of culls
and windfalls can be turned Into
money.
Beans will net the farmers about
$200 per acre, and at 60c a "bushel
when canned, will bring $2 to $2.40,
leaving good profit to stockholders.
Tomatoes, pumpkin and beets are
also profitable to the farmer where
there Is a ready cash market and are
also a profitable article for a canning
factory to pack.
A cannlnsr factory will benefit the
farmer. This will benefit every busi
ness man. It will give the farmer
more money and ready cash, and
many will not ask for credit as often
as they do now, as cash Is always pre
ferred by merchants.
' Suppose each farmer plants and
markets a few acres of pumpkirts,
sweet corn, tomatoes, beans, beets, etc.
!t means increased revenue from his
farm $200 to $1000 a year, according
to acreage.
Is not every farm worth more? Will
It not sell for more, or rent for more,
and the buyer or renter be more sure
to make his payments when he can
diversify his products and get cash at
various times in the year by the use
of a canning factory? 1
These are some of the reasons why
farms which are located near a can
ning factory sell for more and rent for
more than farms that are distant from
such an institution.
Ucitcriu to Labor.
A canning factory will employ 75 to
150 hands. Boys and girls can earn a
nice sum, as canning factories are run
to full capacity when there Is no
school. Farming becomes more di
versified, land produces four to eight
times as much per acre In cash and
farmers are better able to hlro help.
Two or three hundred acres of or
dinary farm lands will grow sufficient
raw material for a canning factory.
A factory will can pumpkins, ber
ries, peaches, sweet corn, cabbage.
beets, beans, apples, etc., whUli
nieano unlimited market for the far
mers who take shares, as their pro-
duets are preferred. Tomato. ci'

to 500 bushels per acre and always
bring from 2S to 35 cents per bushel,
an average crop being 400 bushels, or
$120 per acre.
Raw material for the factory will
bring hundreds of dollars per acre, so
that a small patch will Increase the
earnings of a farm more than many
times the cost of several shares.
A furmer thinks nothing 'of lotting
money by fuelling pumpkins, etc., to
hogs. Why not put some money In a
canning factory, so all the above pro
ducts can be sold In the can at the
highest market price, as the fuctory

A canning factory gives the pro
ducer a cash market for his product
the middle men are done away with
consigning Is at an end. The produce
Is put in direct communication, or as
near as possible, t the consumer, and
that Is the way It should be.
Only your co-operation Is required
to establish a canning factory here,
which would be of. Inestimable value
to the community.
