tur&lly Speaking echanization Is Being Used In Cucumber Culture COMING EVENTS July 1-Sept. 30: Time to ap ply for state and federal gas oline tax refunds (We have extra forms in the office for your use.).

Especial Mission, near Boone CUCUMBER MECHANI ZATION From reports here and there, cucumber production per acre was an all time high compared to prior years. It just goes to show what a little water will do at the right time, and too, the cukes will not grow with out adequate plant food. The best record of total dollars in come per acre was on a field heavily manured. 700 lbs. 5-10 10 at planting and top dressed with 200 lbs. 20-0-20. Cukes lend themselves to mechanization until harvesting but then the trouble begins. Equipment is appearing on the market to help solve this prob lem. At a field day held by the N. C. Experiment Station at Faison several weeks ago the equipment shown in the pictures above was demonstrat ed. In the picture with the canvass top, this four row ma chine will seat 8 people who ride low and search one-half row each. The cukes are dropped on a conveyor belt which takes them to the re ceiving baskets. This machine requires a driver who also han dles the baskets, making a to tal of 9 persons. In the other picture, a trac tor pulls a trailer to which is attached a conveyor belt sys tem. This system requires 6 pickers, one basket tender and one driver, or a total of 8 per sons.

Cucumbers are still import ant in Warren County to the man that needs and can han dle additional crops. This is a valuable crop to the man with very small allotments of other crops. In all these com binations. do not take on more crops than can be well man aged. As mechanization ap pears on the scene farmers with small or no allotments will in all probability plant large acreages to cucumbers, cantaloupes, peppers, etc., and hire labor to operate the machines. RAIN, DUST, IRRIGATION When the "bottom" falls out in a rainstorm and the whole world appears to be soaking wet, it is amazing to learn a few hours later that it was a local shower. That is what has happened during the past few weeks. For instance, on July 17 I walked in mud in the Northeastern part of the coun ty, then two hours later found dust in the Northwestern ter ritory, then one hour later ob served irrigation in full swing on the Vance-Warren line Even with all this, the crop* | in general are good and the I only fair to poor crops observ ed were those receiving inade I quate top dressing. Top dress j ing was a must this year and I haven't so far observed any j real nice crops that did not receive extra and adequate fer tilization Elberon News Mrs. L. A. Ayscue.

It happened 100 YEARS ago The oldest incorporated trade association in the country, the United States Brewers Association, was organized in 1862 .. . the same year that ?mir./; iirci?tJK SHU* inmtoirPti iaaiBi?iiiifiiirP" IN NORTH CAROLINA arrangements were made to transfer the Confederacy's naval ordnance center from Norfolk to Charlotte be cause of inland safety and good railroad to Wilmington. North Carolinians saluted this new commerce with glasses of beer. For even then, beer was North Carolina's tradi tional beverage of moderation. Beer still provides enjoyment for North Carolinians, and a good living for many of them ? not only the employees of the Brewing Industry itself, but also for North Carolina farmers and other suppliers of the materials brewers use. TODAY, in its centennial year, the United States Brewers Association still works constantly to as sure maintenance of high standards of quality and propriety wherever beer and ale are served.
