Egg-Size
Tomatoes
In Offing
Egg-size tomatoes that pro-
vide as many slices as larger
varieties — but cost less —
may crop up in supermarket
egg cartons in the next few
years.
A new elongated version
of dwarf tomatoes is current-
ly under development at a
Gainesville, Fla., agricultural
research station.
Because of their compact
size, more than six times as
many of the new plants can
be put on an acre than con-
ventional varieties. This
means higher per-acre yields
and the possibility of once-
over mechanical harvesting
and mechanized handling.
Since the smaller fruit is
less subject to crushing dur-
ing handling, researchers be-
lieve it could be harvested
with less expensive and so-
phisticated machinery than
that now being used
Research to develop the
new species was stimulated
by the threat to Florida's
$100 million tomato industry
from imports originating in
countries where workers’
daily wages approximate
hourly minimums in the
United States.
Agriculturists point out
that elimination of the Flori-
da tomato business would
further increase the nation’s
balance of payments deficit
and put more pressure on the
American dollar and the
economy as a whole.
I FARM FACTS I
Farm Efficiency Climbs
An hour of farm labor to-
day produces seven times as
much food and other crops as
it did SO years ago. This en-
ables the average farmer to
produce enough food and fi-
ber for himself and 51 others.
A top farmer can produce
enough for 200 others.
Inflation Hits Farm
