The late spring slowed down the ripening of the fruit and made the start of the canning season at least 10 days to two weeks late, said Robert E. Moss, general manager of the Woods Cross Canning Co. By this time' in past years 80 to 90 per cent of the crop has been stored away, but if the frost holds off, the entire crop should be packed in' a few weeks. The crop has been very good, said Mr. Moss, despite complaints from small growers and back yard farmers who have had their plants infested with blight. The company, which has been in continuous operation since 1892, employs about 140 women and 75 men during the peak of the season. This year several of the men working at' the plafit are from area and are the Kearns-Magn- a off work due to the Kennecott strike. They are working at the cannery to keep their families off welfare. Some of the cannery help are transient workers, in Utah for the tomato crop.
