CHICKEN CANNING Sin-Some statements have been Published. by Mr. F. it Nash and others, which, while true in fact. are liable to be misunderstood to throw a wet blanket over the canning factory project. To dispel those ghostly shadows let us view the I whole subject ln the light of fact. Poultry could probably be raised in quantity at. a price to permit canning, but not to make it reason- ab y remuneratlve. of itself, to jus- tify specializing exclusively for that. purpose. . If we review the modes and pio- cesses we will learn that in very few products the raw material is proouced solely with the canning. in view‘. l In the great fruit areas enor- . mous quantities are grown of plums. pears, cherries, peaches and ground l vegetables such as tomatoes, beans peas, beets, etc. vastly in excess of he demand for immediate con- sumption.

Today you, have to pay 20c for lb. of frzsh tomatoes, a profitable price to the grower, yet you can buy a 2 ib. eaii of last years surpus for 10c. You don't find stall fed beef or quality meats going to the cannery, but if you Blutfsd the market with the medium qualry clown would kibble the price of rize beef. This ls llkevtdse true of poultry. Being at all times of the year a seasonable food there is a very ‘heavy table demand at remuner- quire the finest and most fanny stock.

ECONOMIST CANNING OPPORTUNITIES Sin-The reprint. in Saturday's Guardian of a recent article in the Financial Post, telling of the propos- ed himbandlng in Great Britain of canned and other foods. as a pre- cautionary measure ln anticipation of war, ls of special interest to the people of Prince Edward Island and should be the means of allaylng the fear regarding the risk of dr- veloping a modern canning fnetrry. as evidenced by those who appar- ently are unaware of‘ the immensi- ty of the Empire market for food and feed o." the kinds-that can be produced by our farmers and fish- ermen. Moreover. the fact that the British Government is already formulating its plans for the stor- age of the food should stress the need for immediate action, In peace time the demand for canned goods in the Mother Count- i-y ls much greater for fruits than vegetables, because the British people do not yet realize the super- iority from B. health-giving stand- point of tanned vegetables, cooked in a vacuum. over those prepared in the home kitchen. For war time purposes the reverse would be the ease, and this ls o, matter of special significance to us. for during the coming summer our farmers could produce large quantifies of vegetables. This would not be the case with fruits, for their trees and bushes have still to be planted. after which there would be a lapse of "i-om two to six years before they would bear. Strawberries would be ahead of all other fruits, for there is already a falr acreage on the Island and this could be in- creased very largely by planting out all the 1937 stringers and pos- sibly by importing others from No- va Soothe. A carrying out of this plan should result. ln an important iifritwberry crop in 1938. The canned vegetables that probably would be required f0! storage purposes would be beets. carrots, parsnfpo. turnips. potlloei. tilrlng beans. broad beans. when, cauliflower. brussel sprouts.

Wh‘le the farmers would be growing the vegetables the first cannery buildings could be erected and equipped with the required m." chinery. Another point. of special importance in this proposed demand for canned vegetables to be stored is that it would afford a market for the output of the cannery in m. early days. while the farmers would be planting their fruit trees and bushes. and the management would be doing its experimental work, training its employees and forming selling connections In the Mother Country and elsewhere.
