XIII Letter Explaining Canning Factory Situation following The is letter, which is in answer to the ef- committee chosen rethe possibility cently to investigate establisha of obtaining pea canning Mr. Warr, the ment for Hyrum. has the of committee, chairman kindly given it to us for publication that the people generally may know furtthe situation, and possibly ask her efforts of the committee in forts of the their behalf: Aug. 22, 1923. Warr, Hyrum State Mr. Clifford Hyrum, .Utah. ' Dear Sir: Answering your favor of t,he 17th, I note carefully what you have to say and note especially that you would like to have a factory built BaHk, in your town. I appreciate the fact that it would advantage to you people to be an factory there but this same request has come from hundreds of places throughout the country and special inducements of all kinds have been offered us if we will come into certain localities and put up canning factories. But, what is the use of building more factories when a portion of the product we have We were able on hand is not sold? to sell out fairly well on futures but we still have on hand a large quantity of this years pack unsold. have a i Besidsihis,-WjJAv- e Jio.Ly;ettua at the utmost capacities of the factories we now have, neither at Mur-ganor Smithfield. That is, we could easily can 50 per cent more with the same machinery and the same buildings by putting on two shifts, but we could not sell the inn production at a profit. put up a factory in your town that would be a credit to you and would maintain the reputation of the Morgan Canning Co., would cost between $150,000 add $200,000 at least. Do you think it would be good business for us to consider the expenditure of that much money under the present conditions and creased To circumstances? Had it fell short not been that Wisconsin short on the production of canned peas this season, on account of the extremely hot weather we would have found ourselves very much up against it when it came to disposing of our pack of peas at a profit. Take business for an Wouldnt it be jnst like you to put up another bank your own example. asking along side of the one you now have? hen we do increase our capacity and when we can see our way clear to build another factory, we will certainly take your proposition into consideration and will give' you every advantage possible. - We will not do anything anywhere else until we have first taken the matter up W with you. I think you will agree with us that we have treated your people fairly and squarely. We have built a splendid viner station in your town, larger than we have built anywhere else in the valley excepting only the one at the main plant at Smithfield. Then, too, you will xememember that we went to you People first when we contemplated the building of a factory in Cache Valley and we did not receive the support we so "much needed and felt that we should haye to justify us in building a factory in Hyruai and. consequently, we went to Smithfield. It was. not our fault, it wasthefault of your own townspeople, your own citizens, and I think that there is no question that you could just as well have had the factory at Hyrum as at Smithfield, had your people been up to the minute and supported this institution with such enthusiasm and forsight as did the people up in the other end of the valley. We have this same request from Logan and the people there now think it terrible that the plant was not built at Logan Jnstead of at Smithfield. There are also other towns iD the valley that are lamenting this condition but really it was not our fault, and I think you will see our position in this matter. We have received similar requests and propositions from Preston and other places both inside and outside the state. Now what would you do under the circumsstances and if you were in our position? What would your answer be to such requests and inquiries? We should be glad to talk this matter over with you personally at any time that it is convenient for both of us to meet but I have laid the situation before you just as it We think a very great deal standsof the people in your town and in You have a your neighborhood. industrious splendid, lgt of people in Hyrum and they are good, honest and loyal and they have supported us in a splendid manner and we, in turn, have tried to perform our whole share of the obligation. kindest personal regards and assuring you of our hearty cooperation in any way that will bring about the best results, we wish to remain very truly yours, MORGAN CANNING CO. By James G. Anderson. - work of the committee is commendable and all that could be asked. Mr. Anderson, the President of the Morgan Canning Company, presents the facts in the case in clear and unmistakable terms; and, withal speaks highly and respectfully of the people of Hyrum and vicinity, showing appreciation of the support given this industry; but also makes it clear that a peacanning factory in Hyrum is entirely left to future developments. This situation, however, should not cause us to "rest on our oars. citiA few zens have been approached, and they voice the opinion that the committee might give the community additional valuable service by investigating the question of a canning establishment here, for tomatoes, beans, and the numerous small fruits and vegetables which we can raise in quality and quantity superior to many other districts, and equal to The far-seein- wide-awak- e any other. The time has come, when high can not proland priced irrigated duce wheat or other cerials at a a profit. Diversity of crops on the farm, is the farmers only hope of returns on his investment. The counties of Box Elder, Weber, and Davis are realizing good returns from tomatoes and other vegetables we have the same ohance and better. Let us back the committee in further efforts along this line. The columns of the Courier are opeQ for suggestions on this question. The many friends of Bp. Nicholi Jorgensen are pleased to know that he is able to be out again after being confined to his home for about six weeks. NO. 40 C.

The people of this district have done themselves proud in erecting the magnificient little temple of learning which is now nearing completion.

Last year there were 294 students in the classes of the Seminary. With a full time assistant employed by the Church this year it will be possible to care for 350 to 400 boys and girls When school opens Sept. 17th, it is hoped that this number shall be reached. May the people of this section always hold their place in the lead of such progressive movements that the coming generations may stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world of advancement.
