Show Gunnison Ice Plant Ready to Operate The test of the ice plant at the branch station of the Utah Poultry Producers, Inc., completed this week has proven highly satisfactory and the announcement is made that about the middle of June, or when the weather becomes sufficiently warm, the management will start operations on a full capacity scale and Gunnison will be afforded the privilege of enjoying one of the comforts com-forts of obtaining a pure and wholesome whole-some ice for domestic uses. Bert Willardson, who is here from Salt Lake for a short business visit stated stat-ed that the plant was working splendidly splen-didly and that fully a ton of ice could be manufactured daily. Until the weather becomes warmer, though the plant will not be started at its full capacity. About the middle of June the company com-pany announces that it will be ready to care for the broilers that will be produced in the valley. It is estimated that fully four carloads of broilers will be handled from the Gunnison branch. The big flocks, in order to keep them to the highest standard, will be culled and the males and inferior in-ferior birds will be fattened and shipped ship-ped to the larger markets. A carload of case count eggs was shipped from Gunnison last Saturday and another, according to announcement announce-ment made at the .office, will be shipped ship-ped next Saturday. The combined shipment will comprise 1000 cases of eggs, or in round numbers some 30,-000 30,-000 eggs. Mr. Willardson stated that the Gunnison branch would see much activity during the summer and early fall and it is planned to establish estab-lish fattening pens and handle poultry poul-try on a bigger scale. |
