Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 May 1911 — PICKLE PROSPECTS. [ARTICLE]

PICKLE PROSPECTS.

r here is every prospect, up to date, of a good pickle crop this ye; r. It is now time to have the ground all prepared and planting should be done within the next ten days if weather is favorable. We understand Squire Dingee Company will furnish seed where it is needed for replanting any spots where the seed does not grow' which sometimes ‘happens because the ground is too wet or too dry or eaten up by bugs. If the pickle vines are kept free front weeds and picked regularly as instructed and according to the grading required by the receiving station here, all growers ought to make a good profit out of their patch. Last year the weather was too dry to expect much of a crop of pickles, but we can hardly expect this season will be a bad as last. Those who do not put in pickles may regret later that they have not a patch, so that they can join the procession who, daily, go to the factory to receive their cash checks.
