State Canneries Open at Flynn Farm for Tomatos
The Iowa state board of control approved a plan to can tomatoes at the Flynn farm west of Olndh using honor prisoners from the Mort Madison penitentiary. Four acres were planted last spring with yields promising enough to produce at least 200 dozen gallon cans. Prices offered by private plants were insufficient when delivery and can costs are included. Revenue reports show insurance taxes up, collateral inheritance tax up, and interest on state funds down. Progressives nominate Basher for governor and file electors. Linn county names Henderson senator and Cahill representative. Artillery units drill for action with expected support from machine gun units to be mounted on Ford trucks.
