I Cherries, Peas
! - *
WISCONSIN
' M
By LEE B. WEATHERS
The Editorial party passed
through the famous Door county
cherry orchards and the English
pea section of Wisconsin
Hotels feeding the service or civic j
clubs of the United States In their
weekly luncheons seem to think that
the pea is the accepted dish of these
organizations. You can hardly find
a club menu without peas, yet the
pea supply has'never run short.
Wisconsin alone produces 53 per
cent of the canning peas in the
United States and that state's crop
is worth $25,000,000. Peas are sown
broadcast and sold to the canning
plants by the farmers. Just before
harvest at so much per pound. An
inspector visits the fields daily Just
before the harvest to eaten the peas
at the proper stage of ripening. The
farmer is told when to cut them and
he follows orders implicitly. Then
the peas are threshed and packed
on short order for a day's delay
might injure the quality and grade
of the pea.
Door county, a peninsular between
Lake Michigan and Green bay has
800.000 cherry trees, many of them
growing in rock, blasted out and
filled with rich soil. The todies of
water on the east and west furnish
moisture which the trees must have
and retard the late frosts which are
most damaging. The trees are culti
vated, sprayed and pruned with the
greates®care and diligence and huge
sums are invested in canning plants
that are idle about 11 months out of
each year. Being a perishable crop,
thousands of Cherry pickers are im
ported during the harvest season
and improvised camps are set up to
feed and shelter them. When there
is a crop failure, orchard owners
and canning plants suffer great fi
nancial losses, so in order to suc
ceed, orchardists and packers must
have ample capital and create a sur
plus during the fat years ti> care for
the lean years which come to all
classes of business. The cherry crop
is valued at a million dolll’s annual
ly.
• Wisconsin also produces $500,000
in cranberries, $24,000,000 in pota
toes, $7,000,000 in leaf tobacco. $1,
400.000 in clover seed, 12,000,000 in
cabbage, 65,000 short tons of sugar
beets, 130,000,000 gallons of maple
syrup, 15,000 acres of sweet corn,
11.000 acres of cucumbers.
