Last week we finished discuss
ing the AllJAmerica Flower Se
lections for 1972 and gave atten
tion to one of three All-America
Vegetable Selections for 1972—
fliuby Ball cabl>age UV* wall con
tinue with tlie other two \ege-
fables-jRed Head cabbage and
Victory cucumber.
Red Head, like Ruby Ball, is
an F-1 hybrid cabbage with good,
uniform, compact heads, excel
lent flavor and good dark red
rolor.
'Both Ruby Ball and Red Head
are excellent when used in sal
ads and considered to he a deli
cacy when cooked.
Victory cucumber has shown
marked resistance to troublesome
cucumber diseases. Disease re
sislence is important to tlie home
gardnerer ac it reduces ilic num
ber of protective sprays or dusts
to a minimti.m. This in bred re^
sistance means higher yields as
the disease organisms do not sap
the strength from the plants.
Victory is report(*d to be toler
ant to powdery and downy mil
dew, both of which give a whitish
cast to the leaves and iiviuce
yields. It is also n^porfed to be
tolerant to scab and mosaic, jn
addition Victory has consifleiable
tolerance to angular loaf .spof
and anthracnose, both of whicli
: cause prriduction problems.
Generally speaking Victory
can be grown under a widei*
range of environmental condi
tions than other cukes w^hich have
less disease re sistance.
i Aside from disease* resistance.
Victory has another very fine
bonus quality. It is a gynoecious
hybrid, which moans that it pro
duces a hil^h poicentage of fe
male flow'er.*^. This, of eourso, (SJn-
lrihut(?s to iis liigii yielding abil

This n(»w vaiioty has excel-
■ lent flavor, is crisp, firm and has
a fine dark green ceilor. Its
oveiai! rating in size and shajK*
' for a slicing type cuke is real
good.
Because of the fine color,
quality, yield and wide range of
adaptability, Victory i.s expected
to repJac*e many older types pros
ently grown by home gardeners.

Social Security Questions & Answers
iBeginning in 1972 the amount
ofearnings subject to the social
security tax was increased from
$7,800 to $9,000.
The percentage rate of social
security tax deductions—5:2 per
<^nt—\vill remain the same as
last year. If you are an employee,
the law requires your employer to
ded'iK't the social security tax
(from the first $9,000 you earn in
work covered by social security.
Lex G. Barkley, manager of
the Gastonia social security ol-
fico, stated that, “People who
earn over $7,800 a year can ex
pect higher social security bene
fits in the future because the
amount of lienefits is based on
average earnings over a period of
years. Obviously, the higher the
average, the higher the benefits
will be.”
The “eaiTitng base’’ that counts
for social security has gone up
[gradually over the years as in
come levels have risen in the
country. In 1937, when the pro
gram began, contributions were
: paid on the first $3,000 earned
, in a year.
Barldey ad<led, “For tliose who
now pay on more than $7,800 per
year; it will mean more financial
protection for the worker and
• his family.”
