'Cucumber raising has long
been an extra source of income
in the United States under the
same plan being used in De-
Witt county.” Padgett reported.
“It is interesting to know that
cucumber production leads in
vegetable production by a wide
margin. Cucumbers require a
balanced fertilizer and need to
be regularly picked to get good
quality production.
"Buenger has had success
with the crop in past years. Al-
though dry weather affected
production last year, he came
through with an average pro-
duction of 450 bushels an acre.
“Buenger’s interest in the
program is in seeing his coun-
ty have an opportunity to make
extra dollars and have a cash
crop harvested at a season
when no other income is avail-
able,” Padgett concluded.

Of Brazil
RECIFE, Brazil UPI -Fifty
Brazilian marines today kept
Capt. Henrique Galvao and his
rebel band virtual prisoners
aboard the plush cruise liner
they had commandeered in an
abortive attempt to topple the
Portuguese government.
The Brazilian Foreign Minis-
try said the rebels had laid
down their arms and would for-
mally surrender their captive
ship, Santa Maria, to the Navy
at 2 p.m. noon EST.
Although technically still in
command of the liner, the re-
bels clearly were under the con-
trol of the marines smartly pee-
ing the decks and were not per*
mitted to go ashore.
The Brazilian government said
the future of the liner would tie

tuguese owner, the Colonial Na-
vigation Co., was standing by
with a court order to reclaim

the 620 passengers — overjoy-
