iCENASVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA TIE CLTUN TLVZS FRIDAY AUGUST 18th 1944 H-;h Prices,' Heavy Yield and Low ' Output Cost Recommend Pickle Crop High quality pickles are needed for the armed forces and bring the grower top prices. DY supplementing their grain, fat - and fiber crops with an acre or two of pickles, farmers can help meet requests for a bigger 1944 pickle crop to meet military and ci villan demands, according to a state ment made public by the National Pickle Packers Association. Because of low production costs, heavy yield and the highest contract price In history, "that extra acre" planted to pickles can do its share toward contributing to the war ef fort and at the same time provide some welcome revenue for the farmer. Pickles are classed by the gov ernment as essential to" i. Proof of the importance of pickles as part of the day-to-day diet lies in the fact that draft deferment units are al lowed on an acreage basis. Advantages of pickles as a cash crop are many, the Association de clares. Prevailing prices are the highest in history. The properly tended field, picked every day dur ing the height of the season, will yield handsome crop dividends. Cer tain highly successful growers have realized record incomes as high as $400 to $500 per acre. The average is lower, but careful growers are certain of high per-acre income. Another value is that pickles are an excellent "in-betweeW crop. They begin to yield approximately six weeks after planting. The reve nue provides the farmer with a carry-over of cash when he needs it most , No extra labor is needed. In fact, the work can be done by children in their 'teens. The cost of seed is nominal. No machinery or war scarce implements are needed. Work of cultivating and harvesting can be done at odd hours. Trans portation of the crop offers no prob lems, either, for only short hauls are required to the packer's receiv-. ing station. Grown from scientifically devel oped seed, the modern pickle crop is a vast improvement over its pred ecessors of 10 or 20 years ago, giv ing the farmer more quantity, bet ter quality and therefore higher val ued stock.

Meat farms hare acreage soluble for sickles. pickle industry suggest that farmers should Investigate thoroughly the possibilities of a pickle crop for that unused land. Usually such plots are highly de sirable for a small truck crop' such as pickles but are often left idle be cause they , are on ground where tractors-and heavy machinery can not be employed for regular field crops. Thus instead of being left idle, they- can be usefully employed this year for producing a crop es sential to the needs 'of the armed forces and at the same time provid ing the farmer with a highly de sirable cash crop. "There are numerous excellent reasons why pickles are one of the most successful revenue-producing crops," the Association declared In a statement to farmers this week. "They areeasy to grow, requiring no extra machinery or expensive equipment The harvest is a fam ily affair, easily handled by persons who are capable of doing garden work. Expert assistance is avail able at no cost from your local pack ing plant, and the per-acre yield has been known in some cases to run as high as $300 to $500." the Army Recruiting Stations are making an all-out bid to enlist women as WAC Medical Corps technicians.

Service I Hie Fanner and - ' hrVM.JLS.Goti Mtr of tU National Granga V-; ;.'.::,Cr T I Tt ntSQTTENTIiT hear 1 W ars raise the questhn tear farm- as to whether or not they should buy wr Bnnda ion as ther are in debt The answer to this question should depend in large meaiure upon the nature of the debt and whether or not it is current If part of ft is past due, and tee borrower expects to experience difficulty in meeting past due payments, he probably should bring his debt into current position before investing in Bonds. Jf, however, his pay ments are current there seems to be no reason why farmers should not buy as many Bends as they are able. Most individual invest ors is government Bonds are car rying debt in one form or an other, at rates higher than the Bonds will yield. This is as It should be if the purchaser is in an earning position which permits the accumulation of some surplus, for we all owe it to our government to do our utmost in the financing of the war, even though the trans action may result in our paying some extra interest on outstand ing debts. When a farmer owes money, he is always concerned as to whether his crops, will sell at prices which will enable him to repay his debt. When prices are high it is good business and conservative finance to reduce the debt as rapidly as possible because when prices are low, it takes more crpps and more efforts to make the payments. Wa abeold Vot forget how ever, that a government Bond will pay eff an equal amount ef dellars ef debt, ne natter whether prices are high or whether prices are low. It Is, therefore, a sound and con servative practice to buy gov ernment Bends and lay them : v ..-. aside te maka payments en - existing debta when they fall ' . doe.. In fact quite aside from the patrlotto appeal, tt la good , . easiness to bay Bonds rather ' . than make pre-payments en debt beoause. the time may ' come when the ready cash Is , . needed and the money tied np - tn pre-payments cannot be re turned. - If this money Is in- vested In Bonds, It can be con ' verted Into cash te meet any needs which may arise. U everyone followed the policy of buying no War Bonds until their debts were paid, few Bonds would be sold to the public. .We have an obligation to help finauee this war which is vastly mora Important than the income we may receive on the investment of money in War Bonds. "Farmers are finding it Impossi ble to maintain their machinery and buildings in a satisfactory state of repair. They are finding that they cannot replace worn-out equipment except at excessively high cost. f ' It would seem te be eoirad and conservative business practice te lay aside money . to mate the repairs and re place wem-oUt equipment when material and machines . are again available. Ne aafer place can be found te lay aside money for such purposes thaa in government Bonds. : . Every time we buy a Bond we are not -only assisting in financing the war, but we are also doing our bit to prevent that most dreaded economic disaster called inflation. If each one of us would invest as much as we could in government Bonds, the danger of inflation would be greatly reduced. tf. S.
