It was a race between the setting up of the necessary equipment and the peas and the peas wire firsts hut not first load of peas factory Monday and that a trial run would he made that afternoon but a defect in the steam line caused a little delay and it was not until operations processing swing. It was early in the spring, after the old factory had been condemned, that the work of tearing rebuilding commenced, continued rains delaying the work dragged wearily larly in the fields the wet weather held up the planting of the peas. At one time a rumoi' spread that the factory had decided not to plant peas. Now the peas give promise of a good average crop and the machinery is all set to take care of it. The new building is stream-lined, faced with red and buff brick. It is a two-storey building. Four feet more head-room was added to the ground floor and the top floor raised from 7 to 14 feet allowing for con siderable more storage. The front part of the building is for the office staff with separate offices for Mr. L. J. Penhale, district manager, and Mr. E. J. Green, the local manager. The interior is furnished with hori zontal knotty pine finished in the natural color and it is lighted with florescent lights, the latest in elect ric lighting. Owing to the scarcity of help the girls of the factory under took and made a good job of the painting. In the processing room a new line of retorts or cookers have been in stalled which will greatly facilitate the work of canning and should in crease the output from 1.8 to 20 per cent, faster. Three lines for pro cessing are being installed. The increased capacity win mean faster handling and less time lost for the farmers in ^loading their peas. The comfort and conveni&nce of the employees has not been over looked and attractive lunch rooms and wash rooms are being installed. The ventilation system has been greatly improved with monitors at the top of the second storey to carry off the heat and steam from the processing room.
