———————————— — BUTLER HAS CAN- NING FACTORY. Barr & Co. Establish Plant Here | Pe™20"a! propert various Assessors of the State is $1,-|. With Capacity of 3,000 Cans Per Day—To Empley 15 Hands. A canning factory with a capacity of 3,000 cans Pe 15 hands is being established under the name of Barr & Co., Sam W. Barr, Manager of the People’s Elevator Co., being the principal share-holder. The plant will be located on the Barr farm southwest of this city, where the vegetables for the first years’ canning will be grown. Full equipment for the plant ar- rived in this city Tuesday and is now being unloaded and will at once be installed in the buildings which have been prepared for use as a factory. Mr. S. W. Barr said Wednesday morning: “Our main output for the first year or so will consist of tomatoes, whic! we will be able to handle at the rate of three thousand cans per day. Some corn will be handled, but large- dy as an experiment. For our first year’s canning we expect to raise our own tomatoes, and for that purpose we already have planted the seed for plants for which from fifteen to twenty acres of land will be neces- sary. Necessarily our first year’s output will be limited, but we ex- pect to be able to put 80,000 cans of tomatoes on the market this year and materially increase our output from year to year. Next season we will commence buying our vegetables, contracting for them in from ten to twenty acre lots from farmers near the factory. “Tt is our intention to put on the market only the choicest hand picked, and hand packed tomatoes, and we expect to find a ready market for our production in Butler, Rich Hill, and the other principal towns in this and adjoining counties. Our goods will stand a comporison with the highest quality of the out put of any plant.’’ Mr. F. L. Davis, as Superintendent and Manager will be in active charge of the plant. Mr. Davis is an experi- enced Bipiness man, and is well and favorably known here. Mr. Barr, who for the past few has been in active charge of the eople’s Elevators is one of the ablest oung business men of the county. He is thoroughly competent in eve respect and an enterprise of whic! he is the head will be successful, be- yond a doubt.

These figures are exclusive of the valuation of public-service cor- porations, and relate solely to real estate and ‘personal property.

San Antonio, Tex., March 13.—Maj- or General W. H. Carter, commander of the ‘‘Maneuver Division,” said to- day that the maneuvers inSan Antonio are to try out some new field regula- tions. “There is no other significance at- tached to the assembling of troops in San Antonio,” said General Carter. “The War Department looked upon San Antonio asa place adapted for maneuvers and that is why the troops are here. pone “There is positively no truth in the rumor that additional troops have been ordered here. If such were the case Iam sure I would know some- thing about it and no word has reach- ed me. There is no necessity of ad- diiional troops coming here. There are enough assembled to carry out the purposes of the maneuvers.” Speaker Barker sent his bill to en- grossment providing state aid for ag- riculture fairs. e bill provides that the state shall pay 30 per cent of the premiums paid for agricultural, horticutural, poultry and live stock premiums offered by the country fairs of the state.

If the bill becomes a law there will probably be no money available for this purpose this year, but the revenue of the state in the fu- ture may be such as to assist .in offering premiums that will stimulate the growth and development of the products of the field, orchard, poul- try yard and barn. A number of leg- islators believe that this bill will do more to attract attention to the farm lands of Missouri than a dozen immi- She ae alnerarne used to exploit a epublican governor on trips in which he discovers the Ozark moun- tains and the Current river.
