Million Dollars Can Be Added To Farm Income By Cucumbers Fall cucumbers offer an extra million dollar oppor tunity to Warren County Farmers due to a cut In the spring crop, L, C. Cooper, Warren County Extension Agent, said yesterday. Area farmers, particularly those in Warren County, have the best opportunity ever this year to supplement their in come with fall cucumbers, Cooper said. A good crop could mean an extra million dollars of farm Income. Cooper explained that adverse weather conditions have cut the spring crop. He said that cucumber brokers estimated they could use upward of 1,000 acres under fall contracts. While Income from cucum bers depends on yield and vary considerably, it is es timated that farmers can make $?100 to $600 per acre. Cooper said production should easily be 200 bttshels per acre with irrigation and following re commended practices for fertilization, insect control and disease control. Some farmers who had con tracts with the companies last year produced in excess of 500 bushels per acre. Most spring contract prices are $6.50 per bushel for num ber ones, $3 for number twos and $1.50 for number threes. Cooper said that fall prices, while not officially set, are expected to be 30 per cent higher. This could be ap proximately $8.50 for number ones, $4 for number twos und $2 for number threes. He said.-that this will more than offset the Increased costs of growing fall cukes. With demand Increasing for fresh-pack pickles, the pro cessing pickle companies need the fall acreage to offset the spring crop shortage, the agent said. He added that this year's crop could be 73 per cent of normal but could be as low as 30 per cent. Cooper said that for fall contract it is a must that farmers will have to spray to control insects and dis eases. The cost will vary but it is estimated that it will cost the farmers approx imately ?3 per acre to spray, using Lindane, Methoxychler and Maneb.

In Tentative Budget County Tax Rate To Remain At $1.97 Figures Show Good Business In Warren NKW YORK?(Special to Til* Warren Record)?Inflation or no inflation, 19C." turned out to be a fine business year in Warren County. The figures for the year, compiled ami released in a new market report, show that local families, as a whole, were in good financial shape ami that they spent their money accordingly. Their outlays for goods and services hit a new high. The facts are brought out in the annual survey conducted by the Standard Kate and Data Service. It shows how much was spent by local consumers for food, cloth ing, cars, furniture, drugs and other commodities. Comparable data is given for communities in all sec tions of the country. In Warren County, food at tracted the largest part of the consumer dollar. The sales volume, in local grocery stores, meat mar kets, delicatessens, bakeries and the like, reached $3,582, 000, an increase over t.'.e pre vious year's $3,413,000. And this was only for food that was purchased for home consumption. It does not in clude the amount that was spent in restaurants and in other dining and drinking places. Hie outlay for take-home food was equivalent to 30 cents out of every dollar spent in all retail stores. This was more than was al lotted for food by people in most localities. In general, throughout the United States, 23 cents went for that purpose. In the State of North Caro lina it was also 23 cents. What each family's food bill for the year would amount to, if the total were uniformly di vided among the local popula tion, would be $884 per fam ily. The spending spree of the past year affected most other retail lines as well. Some of them chalked up new records. Local sales of cars and other automotive equipment, including motorcycles and boats, totaled $1,381,000, compared with the previous year's $1,245,000. Department stores and others selling general mer chandise accounted for $907, 000. The former figure was $839,000. Shops specializing in cloth ing, shoes, hats and other apparel had sales totaling $374,000, as against the prior year's $357,000. S;des of furniture and other home furnishings came to $02-4,000. In 19f?4 they amount ed to $509,000.
