miliar with the best methods of scien-
tific canning. He is thoroughly im-
pressed with the Mimbres valley as
the proper place for profitable grow-
ing of vegetables that can be canned
for the Southwestern market. It is his
.ntentlon to erect a fireproof building
in close proximity to the railroads so
that the trackage facilities can be a
factor in the shipping of the products.
It is his purpose to have everything
in operation by the time that the can-
ning season opens. Mr. Best is very
enthusiastic over the prospects and
possibilities of Deming. The two pri-
vate canning factories In this vicinity
putting up tomatoes exclusively ha;e
made a great success this year and
both -will conduct a larger business
next year. "
