bout a two weeks start and il
never even willis. Irrigation is
used extensively as the weather
conditions require. The ground
is covered with an inch or more
of small grain straw and this
keeps the ground some Is de-
greeS cooler, they said.
While some of the farms in
that area are cash-leased to pro-
ducc growing firms, there are
still many family-size farms that
are succeeding in the produce
business.
One Of the things they are
proudest of is their curb
market. This Is a beautiful.
modernistic brack structure in
the heart Of downtown Hend-
ersonville where farm famil-
les bring their produce and
handicraft for retail sales to
the public. This place was
packed with customers on Sat-
urday morning and 1t does an
annual business Of more than
100000.
Only those things produced on
the farm or made by the farmer
or members of his family can be
sold on the curb market. But
those restrictions hasn't kept
them from offering thousands OF
items from beaded pocketbooks
to country cured hams. The
curb market is owned by the
farmers and they rent counter
space.
Almost every farm enterprise
in the county is organized. The
vegetable growers, apple grow
crs. dairymen, poultrymcn, etc
all have their own organizations
designed to help them produce
better crops and market then
profitably.
Among those noteworthy quo
ties coming from individual:
speaking to the touring group
were these: "Thc success of the
produce industry in Henderson
County can be attributed TO tbs
organization Of growers and
their working together. Without
This cooperation they woulC

men emphasized that this organ
ization has had a great deal Il
do with the success of produce
farming in that area.
The crops grown and market.
ed profitably in the area are
many. However, all of them are
not always profitable, as wa.
the case with cabbage and pep
pers this season.
At the moment the area Is
selling huge quantities of
beans and tomatoes. Pole
beans were seen selling Fri
day afternoon at prices up to
$500 hamper. Tomatoes are
sold in eight pound cardboard
cartons. These have sold for
as much as $3.50 per carton
but more often at $1.25 to
S1.50. In all cases, the produce
was bringing the farmers net
profits. Bunch beans were
selling for $500 a hamper and
the volume was heavy.
Nearly 200 migrant bean pick
ers were observed picking Wade
beans in one 20 acre field Satur-
day morning. These workers
pick on contract and move from
one section to another as work
is available. Most of them will
go back to Florida and start all
over after the Hendersonville
crop is harvested.
The one thing stressed per-
haps more than others to the
visiting Horny farmers was
that all produce must be grown
in huge volume and that Il
must be In a uniform pack.
Along the uniform pack line,
the Henderson County grow
ers have their own cardboard
cartons for their tomatoes,
brightly printed and attrac-
tive. Into those packages 20
only the very best Of tomatoes
and they bring premium
price. The same goes for their
extensive apple crop.
Gr.G,s and lecturers 20 the
group pointed out that some
bean growers were crossing as
much as $4,000 per acre on pole
beans. Some tomato growers arc
crossing as much as $1,000 on
