Vegetable Outlook
For '51 Favorable
T?r Heel farmers who want to
earn extra income during 1931
might do well to try producing
vegetables, fruits, or nut.i. say
fartn management rpecialists of
the State College Extension Ser
vice. 'They point out tl?at the
outlook for these crops during
the coming year is favorable.
Continued high employment
and high incomes are expected
to create a stronger demand for
vegetables during the year say
the specialists. Rising military
requirements will increase the
demand for most processing
cropc. Consumption of frozen
vegetables is expected to con
tinue high, but because of large
stocks in storage, prices are not
expected to be much higher than
in 1950. However, prices for
fresh vegetables are likely to
average higher than they were
last year.
Both the domestic and the ex
port demand for fresh fruits are
expected to be stronger in 1951.
Demand of processors for fruit
for canning and drying will be
stronger. Prices for most non
citrus fruits, especially apples,
will average higher than for the
1950 crop.
To obtain greatest returns. Tar
Heel growers are urged to follow
recommended practices in pro
ducing vegetables. Use of good
went on to win.
The Highland Conference
Tournament starts next week at
Granite Falls. Best of luck to our
two teams in the tournament. *
quality seed is strongly advised.
Liberal use of fertilizer, sprays,
and labor is expected To unpro
fitable this year. However, effi
cient production should l>a>
stressed constantly.
Market me onlv^ top-quality
products will pay dividends.
Producers lose when they at
tempt to put even a few No. 2s
in a package of No. Is. If No. 2
produce is to be marketed, it
should be graded out and fold as
such.
COLLBGE GRADUATES
The nation's colleges and uni
versities granted a record-break
ing number of degrees ? almost
500, 0U0 ? in 19S0, which was 17.9
per cent greater than in 1948-49,
and more than double the pre
war high of about 216,000. The
Office of Education pointed ou*
that this was probably the crest
of the postwar wave ? the reflec
tion of the large entering class in
the Fall of 1946 when almost
696,000 students ? many of them
GI's? began their college careers.
