automotive firms, anticipate
earnings 8 to 10 per cent above

parts makers generally will not

were fortunate here this season, our
first in the tomato and cuke business
on any substantial scale, to have good
prices prevailing.
Snap beans were not encouraged
because OF the lack of market for
them in years past But those who
planted beans anyway this season
have made money on them. Some
reports have drifted in of farmers
getting more than $500 a hamper
for snap beans.
The thing we remember best about
snap beans is the time when some
$4,000 hampers were lined up here
and no buyer available. That's the
kind of thing that takes the heart
out of the truck crop farmer. Such
a situation will not exist this season.
With a little cooperation between
farmers and buyers, we can in a few
years have fine truck crop section
providing food to millions this time
OF year. 1t would be mighty handy
cash for the farmer and mighty good
for local retail business firms.
