At the rcqquest of the officials of the Cherokee Indian reservation thc- local cannery which' packs produce under , the "Nantahala," brand had on display at the Indian Fair a nice exhibit of canned foods. Ordinarily only exhibits produced or 'made, on the reservation are on display at these annual fairs. However, the officials of the reservation are seriously con sidering the establishment of a can nery. With this end in view "they wished to have on display products canned in this section of: the state so that the Indians might have some idea of what a cannery on the reser vation would mean to them 'personally. Mr. Case, superintendent of the lo cal canncrv, states that each day of the fair hundreds of men and women visited the booth occupied by the Nantahala brand, of ' canned goods. He was kept busy answering ques tions and says that the local cannery received wide Advertising. Lyles Har ris, county agent' of Macon county, addressed, the Indians on the prop osition of a cannery on the reserva tion.. After- this- talk thr- Indians vUUtvl thf booth of the local cannery sample" fifteen dittcrent produces 'vt the local cannery, such as fruits, ber ries and vegetables. Mr. Case states that the Indians immediately became enthusiastic over a cannery of ' their own. In all probability a cannery will be in operation there by next season. ' After a most successful season the cannery here has practically ceased operations until next spring. With additional equipment the local can nery next year hopes to operate about eight months, instead of Only three as was the case this' year.
