MAINE’S CANNING INDUSTRY.
One Hundred nnd Seventy-Five Fac
tories That Pay $1,400,000 a
Year In Wngreit.
According to the report of Hon.
S. W. Mathews, state industrial and
labor commissioner, the Pine Tree
state is the champ'on snrmne canning
community of the country and is third
on the list of states that can sweet
corn. In fact, Maine is the only
state engaged in the industry of put
ting up small herring and other suit
able fish as sardines. There are about
175 canning factories within its l>or
ders, the value of which is about
$1,214,900, and give employment » to
15,000 operatives. The amount of
wages paid in 1899 was about $1,400,
000; to the farmers for corn, $331,000,
and the value of the entire output
of all the factories was $5,306,089 dur
ing the year, quotes the New York
Bun.
Over 11,000 acres were planted to
sweet corn in 1899. The canning of
clams, blueberries, apples, beans,
squash, pumpkin and small fruits
seems to be on the increase, accord
ing to Mr. Mathews’ report, and he
does not see any good reason why
the industry should not increase
largely in the packing of these arti
cles. He also says that it appears to
be generally conceded that the corn,
apples and berries of Maine are su
perior in quality to t..e same products
in other states, owing, doubtless, to
climatic conditions. In every kind of
canning men, women and children arc
paid remunerative wages, and the
canning factories give to many poor
families their only opportunity for
earning money.
WILL LAST TWENTY YEARS,
Durability of a New Kind of Cloth tt>
Be Manufactured by MUliS
In EiiK'Innd.
<• ———
If the plans of certain English capi
talists do not miscarry it will be
possible ere long for the economical
parent to purchase a suit of clothes
which may be passed along among his
sons for the fifth of a century, says
the Chicago Chronicle. Mills are now
being built in England for the manu
facture of this kind of long-wearing
material, which can be turned out
in almost any color wanted. Think
of getting a suit of clothes that will
last for 20 years; that will cost only
a third more than a suit costs now,
and that will be absolutely water
proof without appearing to be so.
Kevolutionize is rather an overworked
word, but u fits this case exactly.
Instead of singing: “Papa’s pants
will soon fit Johnnie.” the refrain will
run: “Johnnie soon will wear pa’s
pants,” for when pa once begins to
wear these extremely useful articles
before Johnnie has got out of dresses
he may continue to wear them for the
next 20 years, and by that time John
nie will have grown up to them. The.
same with little Mary and her moth
er’s skirts. Instead of cutting down
the garments for the girl the moth
er will wear them for a generation or
s< and then turn them over to her
daughter.
