' onions, for stew or some other
Concoction demanding a good
ly number of onions.
December 1, the Salem plant
ftarted canning boiler onions
of the Yellow Denver variety.
They come in two sizes of cans,
the 303, which Is the retail alze

No. 10 can for hotel, restau

A far as is known, the Starr
plant Is the first to can onions
locally. However, firms In other
part of the country have
canned onion and they have
been ea the market
The new operation la timed
to begin after the firm haa
ompleted processing prunes
nd provides employment for
from 28 to 30 persons at a time
when the cannery normally
would not be operating. It is
possible that the canning will
continue for two er three
months.
In addition to providing em
ployment onion canning is also
providing a market for onion
growers for the smaller size of
onion.
Those being canned this year
are coming from Lake Labish
and from Gaston and are re

ing graded out of the larger
onion.
Preparation of the onions
and their canning is relatively
simple. There is an odor, but
after a short time of working
on the onions, it is claimed
they no longer bring tears to
the eye.
Arriving at the cannery in
the usual red mesh bags, with i
wnicft ail are laminar, the on
ions are dumped into boxes and
placed in front of the women, I
who cut off both the root and
the top ends. This is the first
step in the preparation for can
ning. This group of women,
numbering about It, works
along a belt.
Once the two ends have been
sliced from the onion it move '
along to a 12-foot hot water!
blancher, which helps In loot-!
ening the skin of the onion.
As the onion comes out of the '
blancher It drops into an abras-;
ive peeler, the whirling disk of
which removes most of the label, reading "Starr brand
skins. - whole boiled onions." They,
The next operation is the , however, are not the only la
washing of the onion. This is , bels under which you will find

At the end of the touching
up belt the onions drop into
large pans In which they are
transported to the canning op
eration, where salt is added to
them before the lids are clamp
ed on.
As the cans roll out of the
canner, about 2S0 cases of them

their label stuck onto them.
