Mr. Brown on the Canning Industry
Mr A N Brown of Kent county Delaware writes for the American Agriculturist on the tomato canning season. He notes a short crop pushed prices to nine to twenty four dollars per ton for non contract goods and caused many farmers to breach contracts. He blames packers for most trouble including docking weights and delays in unloading teams. He warns growers will seek higher contract prices and packers will only contract with reliable growers. The éth clause allowing termination after fire strike or equipment failure is cited as a key fault in the Peninsula Packers contract.
