It's a long haul ?that bottle oi ketchup or glass of tomato juice? to your table. 'It probably started here In southeastern North Carolina, where same shrewd Yankee people came to gain a little time on the rest of the tomato plant market. Thence to New Jersey farms for maturity, and then to the cannery. Very few tomato planters grow their own plants, but buy them from specialists, and a good many of them come from the fields of Everett H. Sheppard, of Shiloh, N. J., who gives the plants a good start In this sun ny southeastern area ? which has a record of only seven inches of snow over a period of 25 years? then hustles them to to the north for early spring transplanting. In May, the early planted seeds come to size and are har vested rapidly, taken to a pack ing house where a simple "as sembly line operation conditions them for a quick overnight trip to the North. In the field, a measuring stick is used by harvesters to determine wheth- ( er the plaint should be pulled. At the packing house, the plants, taken from an endless belt, are wrapped in paper, after being packed in wet moss, and placed in baskets holding 500 plants each. The "line" can handle 1,600 plants a minus?.' The haul from this one opera tion alone runs to millions of plants a season. Zacharys Off On Trip Tc?
