Let us consider the rase of sweet-corn, as an_ illustration. The sesaon for this is short. Moreover, It must be picked and marketéd on the jump. However good fresh sweet corn may be on the cob, ¢verybody knows that stale sweet corn is‘an exceedingly The to He began, modestly . canning =51 could | ! instead ot selling it on the ear. sfactory proposition. And its av- crage price to the farmer, sold by the ad, runs somewhere about $8 a hun- ed. Good, sizable, well-filled ears they must be, at that. Suppofe we put this corn into eans To be- witlj the hundred dozen ears w.ll o sidty ;No. 2 cans. In plcking that dozen marketable ecars, theve rejected a considerable number ubbins"—ears covered with just as big and sweet kernels as any, but too for marketing. Experience shows t the “nubbins” left from every hun- dred dozen selected ears will averagé about fifteen more cans. That is, the which would give you a ears, will you the material for about seven- five No. 2 cans. The total cost of cans, canning labor, , for these seventy-five cans will rua about §7. Add to this ¥he $8 which the hundred would average if sold by tha foad in the husk, and. you get $15, as Iy of seventy-five ocans, which at $3.40 a dozen, or $21.53. Here is a first and clear n money for the corn. give In selling the corn unhusked you sell 0 the husks and the soft, succulent cobs, both of which are fine sow affl hog feed. Their money value as forage experienced farmer can estimate m't anything enor- worth saving—better than many other things we all work hard to rescue. Furthermore, by putting the corn !mt> cans we have changed the crop from @ perishable product which must marke the day it is picked at any inable in the rush, to a prac- ically imperishable product, which can hz. marketed at will and even held for months if selling conditions make such holding advisable. Tomatoes, for another example. average price runs y cents a bushel, raw. In the large they fetch the farmer $3.25 a n, and a bushel will make a dozen cans. The cost for cans and labor is a little greater than in the cace of corn, but not much. Not only does this particular farmer corn and tomatoes, but also beets, beans. succotash, Hubbard pumpkin, Swiss chard, spinach T He gets falr in canning them retains in own possession which otherwise would be the factory canner. omers are satisfied for they sweet, clean goods in an hon- for the same price they would compelicd to pay for factory canned stuff of markedly inferior qualit Now, as “The Man Who Talks” once sald in kindly answer to some critic? “This column is not for all, but for those to whom it appeals.” I do aot want to be understood as saying that every farmer should at once stop selling green vegetables and go to canning them. Some of us are short and some are tall; some are fat and some are skinny; some hav a knack for manag- cattle and some for growing pota- toes. What is play to one man may be drudgery to another. What is as easy as rolling off a log to one blankly impossible to his next door. But we all of us have to look every way for the chance to make a dollar. We can't be too “stand-offish” when the chance comes our way. We can't af- ford to throw a good thing over our shoulders and leave it lying on Ye ground. The friend to whose kindness I owe the facts I have thus far tersely indicated is a very clear-headed, very thinking, foresighted and efficient er. He is willing “to try anything once,” as the saying goes. In this can- ning matter he has blazed a compara- tively new trail. There may be some who can't follow- it. That's all right. There must be others who can. It a few such shall be interested, it may léad them to @ very desirable in- creasc in their nonme too large incomes.
