A committee is at work trying to ar; ange for a fruit cannery for Cor vallis and it seems probable that such an enterprise may be launched in this city. The committee has visited the Brownsville and other canneries to get an idea of the plants and to inquire into the results that follow the establishing of such an entemrise in a jommunity. Their . 1 . . .... ... investigations have added to tneir enthusiasm for a cannery for Cor vallis. Land advanced in price around Brownsville because the can- narv nmilrl ii aa the fruit that hud formerly been wasted, thus making tha nrndnnta of the land more valu able, and in many other ways the . . m il . I plant has proved proutaoie to tne lopality. Corvallis needs such an ARtahlishment to turn into money the hundreds of bushels of fruit that have annually gone to waste or been sold at a low figure, yegetaoie gar dening will become a profitable oo cupation for ''small" farmers when Corvallis has a cannery to take care of the tomatoes, peas and otner vegetables that are usually sold iu tina.
