CANNING DAYS TO BE FIXED Schley Plant Now In Operation Operators of Schley County's cooperative canning plant, which was opened last week, sought yesterday to work out a convenient canning day schedule for the remainder of the season. As lateness of the season will discourage many from taking part in the program, all farmers have been asked to answer a questionaire stating what days they expect to have stuffs ready for canning. First products were canned last Friday when Mrs. B.C. Cheek preserved 10 quarts of tomatoes and two quarts of butterbeans. J.B. Teele canned 32 tins of corn Saturday. Costs of production to the customers is about four and a half cents per No. 2 can and five and a half per No. 5 can. The customers bring the products to the plant, furnishes labor for the canning and the tins for preserving, which may be bought at the plant if desired. A supervisor is furnished by the factory and there is no limit on the amount which may be canned. OUT OF THE PAST Fifty Years Ago (1887) The Ellaville Reading Club met at the elegant home of Capt.
