Show Tomato Contracting Contract-ing Starts Today The contracting for tomatoes for the 19S4 season will commence today to-day with the Pleasant Grove Canning Can-ning company offering the growers a uniform contract as adopted by the state canners. In addition to tomatoes the local plant will handle han-dle beans and pumpkin, strawberries and other fruits this season. Both growers and workmen of this district will be pleased to learn that the Pleasant Grove Canning company is going out for all of these products this year. The enlarged en-larged operations will provide more labor and revenue for this section which has been missed the last few years because of limited operations due to lack of markets. Under the limited operation last year this company was one of the best payrolls in the north, end of the county. At the peak over 360 persons were employed and the payroll pay-roll ran from $5,000 to $10,000 per month during the fall run. |
