These are the ingredients that are-needed•for ..a -good cucumber harvest. says Alois Van Esbroeck, a farmer in Tuckersmith Township; just a anile south of Hensall on High- way 4. Mr. Van Esbroeck is looking for a gond harvest this year.and has already begun picking his cucumbers,which, with his wife and ten children is a family affair. He has around six acres in cucumbers and hopes to harvest at least five tons to the acre. This is the earliest he has begun picking for some years so he expects to finish around the first of Sep- tember before school goes back. Unlike most produce, the smallest cucumbers get the highest price and ' as the cucumbers get bigger, so the price goes down. This, of course, is because his produce goes to a pickling company. So the field has to be picked frequently and the harvesting '"Pickers Rig" is a big step forward from when bags of cucumbers had to be dragged from row to row. for now the bu 'as th ey w several acres � like most 'antlers in; Oran nnytofcarnand PYM mitten 'The -43rd annual ,gathering of the Pim family was held on Sundt*.
