 the greater part consisted of salt in brine consumed by the

 with two plants, and the Remington Salt Co., made the third 

 largest output. Wyoming county with the three plants of the 

 Worcester Salt Co., the Iroquois Salt Co., and the Rock Glen 

 Salt Co., was fourth in the list, followed by Schuyler county

 Watkins Salt Co.
