Delaware Tomato Growers
Shift Strategy To Capture
More of Eastern Market

Despite the weather disaster
that hit their 1855 crop, Delaware
tomato growers are streamlining
their operations to hold their ad-
vantage in nearby big-city East
ern markets, say VIM. E. McDan-
ield, University of Delaware agri-
cultural economist and Robert F.
Stevens of the horticultural de-
partment there.
Cost-wise, Delaware growers
just a few years ago were fight
ing a losing battle with Cali
fornia, the Midwest and New
York, the two University of Della
ware specialists point out. Yields
per acre here were lower. And,
costs per ton were higher because
so much of the processing crop
was grown in relatively small
paintings, using family hand
labor.
But in the past or 5 years,
Delaware growers have moved
fast to meet this competition by
upping the acreage grown per
farm and by replacing hand labor
with large-scale machinery that
makes it possible to cut per-ton
costs. Also, say the University
of Delaware men, growers have
been doing a better job than ever
before on spraying, picking and
fertilizing.
Mcdaniel and Stevens point out
that many of the men who for
merly grew /, 2, or 8 acres of to-
matoes have decided either to ex-
pand or else get out of the toma-
to business. Some of the COM
mercial operators now handle
anywhere from 20 to go acres
apiece. they say. This enables
them to buy such items as $4,000
sprayers, transplanters, special
cultivating tractors and other
equipment needed to cut their
costs of production.
Proof that Delaware growers
are doing a good job of manage
ment is the fact that their per-
acre yields-with the exception of
the hurricane-damaged crop of
this year-have gone up about 40
percent in the past 10 years, say
the University of Delaware spec
ialists. The number of acres now
qualifying in an ordinary year for
the "10-ton per acre" club has
grown to one fourth of the acre
age of tomatoes grown in the
state. Since it takes approxim-
ately 8-ton yields just to meet
expenses these days, many grow
ers find that it will even pay them
to use the fertilizer and other
methods necessary to shoot for Is
or 20-ton yields, the University
men say.
Delaware growers also think

Most football publicity men
drool over star backs ground

busting ability of a 290-pound
tackle. But not Ed Kelly of the
Pittsburgh Steelers. who come

season.
Kiely goes into raptures over a
guy who doesn't get booed in

1t is a talking point. of course,
because when things go wrong
in Pittsburgh the customers boo
everything but the hot dogs. A
player must be mighty popular
to escape a verbal lashing, and
Nickel obviously is the mobs

Nickel came to the Steelers
nine years ago from the Uni

who signed him for Pittsburgh
was Coach Joe Kuharich of the
Redskins. then a member of
Jock Sutherland's staff. Joe
didn't get much encouragement
from Ray Noting. Cincinnatis
coach and former Chicago Bears
star. who didn't think Nickel
would be around nine days, much
less nine years.

Noting decided, and Ray had
looked at lot of pro football
players. 1t appeared to be a judi
cious summation of Nickel's
chances, for his first year in the
league he caught only one pass,
which wasn't much even though
Sutherland didn't cater much to
passing with his single-wing Of

Nickel 10th in the draft, liked
his spirit and figured his 6-foot-1

listed as one of the schools ALL

In 1852 Nickel scored nine

Steelers record. He caught IS
passes and gained 884 yards. an
other club record. In 1853 he
put another Steeler mark in the
