Up to 800 acres in cucumbers will be sought in tl e area
surrounding Mineola in +he counties of Wood and Van Zandt
this year by the W&W Pickle Co. of Montgomery, Ala., and
Dallas
J. C. Herring, representative
of the W&W Pickle Co., in
Mineola Monday and Tuesday.
W&W in past years h^& bought
cucumbers in this a^a and for
a number of year^has operated
, a receiving statin in West Min-
eola. /
In an interview with the Mon-
itor Moi^iay night. Herring said
thatJj.is company hopes to get
at ?^ast 50.000 bushels of cu-
cumbers in the Mineola area,
which would amount to a cash
income of $100,000 Contracts to
•growers are now being prepared
and are expected to be available
about Jan. 10.
A better contract then in past
years will be offered growers.
Herring stated. This, year there
will be only three grades
-tcad of four, and the allW-
able size for No. I s and No. 2's
has be«-n increased, be said.
Last year W&W operated
tensively in West Texas aiuT

back into East Texas as the
quality of cucumbers here is
B much bettor then in West Tex-
as. although West Texas does
it larger yields.
According to Herring, the
Mineola receiving station wit!
be the beadquarters for thia
, ■ ar ■ crop Herring said that
also is considering seeking
