Last year the pea cannery at Stevensville had an acreage of 400 and this year the government wants 600 acres, George Durland, county chairman, said.

Last year the growers received approximately $125,000. Tentative setting of a base price of $4.50 per 100 pounds, which is double that paid in 1941, plus a 30 per cent increase in acreage coupled with the premium price provides the basis for the increased estimate. The premium price will range up to $2 per 100 or more according to the variety. Last year's production was well over 5,000,000 pounds off an acreage which was slightly in excess of 3500. As a result of the increased price the Associated Seed Growers company anticipates little trouble in obtaining the necessary acreage, solicitation for which is already under way by local Held men.
