Show Pickling Factory Possibility Here "Gunnison Valley has demonstrated demonstrat-ed beyond a question of doubt that cauliflower, cabbage, cucumber and celery can be grown successfully and on a big scale and that the quality is superior to that found most anyw.-ierc in the state of Utah. With these four staples pioduced as it can be, why not work to the end of establishing estab-lishing a pickling factory in the valley. val-ley. Some, of course, will say that 'it 'can't be dune,' but it can be and there are wonderful possibilities for some progressive company to look the field over, confer with the growers grow-ers and sufficient contracts could, and no doubt would, be secured to keep a big factory running for many months of the year." This was the expression of George Fisher, who owns piopcrty in the "big field," to a News representative last Saturday. Mr. Fi-her gave the reporter some interesting facts and some great possibilities pos-sibilities for inviting industiies to the valley, which would mean another anoth-er payroll. "As everyone knows there is a great demand for pickles and I doubt if there is a place in the west that Is more adapted for the manufacture of pickles than right in Gunnison Valley. Val-ley. The climatic conditions, soils, water and sunshine arc ideally adapted adapt-ed for the growing of cucumbers," continued Mr. Fisher, "and the same can be said for cabbage, cauliflower, celery and onions. These five vegetables vege-tables comprise over 95 per cent of the articles used in plain and mixed pickles and sufficient can be grown within the valley to keep a huge pickling plant going, and due to the fact that all the stuff grown here is of superior quality, there would be no question of a ready sa!e with an ' up-to-date pickling concern working here. There is a big chance here and some live organization should take it up, invite manufacture here and show I what the valley can produce." j |
