Canning Plant in Amarillo Reaches Record Output
The Amarillo Canning Plant processed 24,834 head of cattle to make 4,170,443 cans of beef before its closure on January 14. An average of 994 workers monthly, including 291 women and 613 men, supported the operation. A. A. Meredith lauded the project as a major relief effort and cited cattle removal from harsh ranges, beef conservation for the needy, relief fund use for food, education and social benefits, and wide fund distribution to railroads and manufacturers as its top outcomes. Mines in the Sierra Diablo region near Pecos reopen as mineral laws clarified and silver and gold demand rises.
