Pickle problems (Continued on Pate 112) applying them to the unit needs of the plant. “This will help us with pickles because we can then decide when to plant those that will be hand-picked which will stay in the ground longer and those that will be machine-picked,” Or zolek states. In Delaware, about half the pickle crop is harvested mechanically while the rest relies on in tensive hand labor. Vlasic follows the pickle harvest from Florida to upstate New York, starting in April and winding up back in Florida for their second harvest in October. “One of the biggest ad vantages a large company has is that we are able to operate our processing plants year-round," says Walls. Since it’s impossible to process all the pickles as they are harvested, much of the crop is put into brine storage and doled out to the seven different Vlasic processing plants throughout the year. Thus, if there’s a glut of pickles in this area, the other plants will accommodate it. HAT & GAVEL AUCTION CO. Route 501 '— THURSDAY EVENING, f JUNE 16,1977 5:30 P.M.

Harold Kelly, Hamden, N.Y., Just as the pickle research conducted in Delaware will benefit pickle growers throughout the country, the pickle market in general has expanded through promotional efforts. People are eating more pickles than they used to. A large part of the pickle business has always gone into relishes, according to Walls. But with more frozen food products entering the market, many national food companies are buying pickle relishes and sauces in quantity and using them in countless products. Then, too, some of the pickle market which was formerly localized for example, kosher pickles sold better in the New York- Philadelphia area has now picked up on a national scale. But the biggest factor in increased pickle con sumption is the higher percentage of meals now eaten in fast food places. “Just think,” says Walls. “Even if we could put only one pickle chip on every hamburger now sold in this country .. . that would still be a lot of pickles.”
