Subj: Re: [kl] Clarinet - wood, metal, or carrot?
Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2008 15:00:15 -0500

When I was in college I worked all kinds of dangerous jobs in the canneries. It is a wonder I still have all my fingers. One of them was at Beech-nut Baby Foods.

Carrots can be plenty long enough. Most of the ones we made into baby food were 6 feet long and had to be carried by 2 men. We would chop them in pieces with shovels and they would go down a conveyor belt and a chute into something that looked like a commercial dryer where they would go SPLOT--instant baby food. The small 3 footers we would throw in in bundles of 3-4.

Question---How did they ever get them out of the ground?
