Tomatoes Slow
At Lebanon
z Home Gardeners,
Canneries Hit
By Late Ripening '
LEBANON Tomatoes are
ripening slowly in this vicinity.
Not enough are being brought to
the cannery to keep a full cannery
crew busy. And they are ripening
so slowly that many of the small
patches have not ' hired pickers,
the growers being able to keep
up with the slowly maturing fruit.'

1001, ioggy monmigs are woiucu
lor this delay. The same thing
" is true of the home , gardeners'
plantings. Many who are inten-
ding ta depend upon their own
gardens for canning are now try
ing : to buy tomatoes for canning
from commercial growers.
More than 300 acres are being
grown in this vicinity under con
tract JTen tons to the acre is con
sidered a good crop and it Is
generally said that most growers
will get that this year. Some who
are using land not so good for
mis crop or who get their plants
out late are not going to get that
-good a yeild. Last year , growers
got $17.50 a ton, this season they
will get $25. ''
