Small Industries.
A Bibb county citizen has de¬
monstrated that one of the be. t
paying ventures for a Georgia
farmer is a small canning plant.
Mr. N. S. Outier, of the Rut¬
land district, invested in a plant
last year, the cost of which, all
told, perhaps did not exceed $150,
and during the season he canned
several thousand crates of peach¬
es. This year he will have no
peaches, but he is planting a large
Held of tomatoes, which he will
can for the markets.
In speaking of his venture, Mr.
Out lev said to a Telegraph report]
er a few days ago: “My neigh¬
bors laughed at me when they
saw Ihe large stacks of fruit cans,
and declared that 1 would never
be able to sell one-tenth of what
I had canned. I replied that it
made little difference, as the cost
of canning was very small, and I
was willing to take the risk. If
I couldn’t sell them I would have
amighty good time eating them.
4 4 But gracious! I didn’t have
to stir out of my tracks to sell all
1 had. The merchants swooped
down on me from all directions
anxious to buy, and I am just
tickled to death with my
“My neighbors have changed
their opinion about the wisdom of
my venture, and if is likely that
canning plants oil farms will in
time be found in many parts of
Georgia. I will plant garden
truck, and that which I don’t
market I will can and sell as I
find the opportunity.”'—Macon
Telegraph.
This man has solved the prob¬
lem of small industries. What he
has done can be accomplished by
many of our truck farmers every
year.
