HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Citizens News, 1978-07-06, Page 10Two new tomato varieties and one sweet corn variet3 are available this year as a result of research by the Horticultural Institute o Ontario at Vineland. Basketvee, a tomato fot both commercial and home gardening, is reported by horticulturalist E.A. Kerr to be a large -fruited, cultivar maturing about 95 days from mid-May seeding. Resem- bling Veebrite in many respects, Basketvee is 30 per cent larger, and has a vigorous bush -type vine with somewhat curled leaves allowing good penetration of sunlight and early maturing. Fruits are smooth, thick - fleshed, firm, crack resistant and have excellent holding ability both on the vine and after harvest. The new cultivar is also highly resistant to verticillium wilt, the main root disease of tomatoes in Ontario. Veepick is a large pear- shaped paste tomato with exceptionally good flavor which has already proved popular with consumers and growers, especially for pick - your -own operations. Dr. Kerr says Veepick is larger than traditional past cultivars such as Roma and rates higher in crack resistance, flesh thickness, internal color and flavor. Its holding ability is excellent and it is resistant to both verticillium and fusarium wilts. Vee pick, although firm enough for bulk han- dling, is generally not firm enough for machine har- vesting. The new sweet corn variety, Flavorvee, is a late season corn with excellent flavor, texture and holding ability. Maturing in about 95 days from seeding in mid- May at Simcoe, Flavorvee is exceptionally vigorous with a tendency to produce two good ears per plant. Ears are eight inches long and have 14 to 18 rows. Husks are dark green and cover the tips well for protection from birds. Flavoree retains its flavor and appearance when frozen as whole kernel and shows promise for commercial whole ear freezing. Seed supplies were limited this year and purchased mainly by growers for sales through roadside markets and pick - your -own operations. Sup- plies are expected to be '-' ample in 1979." Livestock meat prices will rise Livestock and meat prices will continue rising during 1978. Upward price pressures are suggested by prospects for only a slight increase in hog slaughter, smaller beef supplies, and continued strong consumer demand for meat. Supplies of poultry will expand, but prices will follow the trend of other meats. Pork production in 1978 may be up only 2 to 3 percent — somehwat lower than earlier expectations. First quarter pork production ran slightly below a year earlier. However, a 2 to 4 percent increase in pork out- put this spring and summer seems likely based on the March 1 inventory of market hogs. Fourth quarter hog slaughter could be about the same or slightly above that of last fall. Beef production for the year may be 3 to 5 percent less than in 1977. Combined with the slight in- crease in pork output and the expected expansion in. poultry, total red meat and poultry supplies for 1978 are expected to be about un- changed from last year.
