From the June 29, 1972 edition of The Wayne Herald:
Carroll youth digs summer cucumber job
Terry Nelson, 15-year-old son of Mrs. Marjorie Nelson, Carroll, is starting his own enterprise this summer.
Terry has planted 235 hills of cucumber vines and plans to sell the cucumbers to a firm in Chaska, Minnesota.
According to Nelson, the cucumbers must be picked every two days and packed dry into wooden boxes or baskets. He will then take the
wooden boxes to the Pierce or Randolph buying stations where he will be paid according to the cucumber size and weight.
Some farmers and townspeople in the Pierce and Randolph areas have been planting larger quantities of cucumber vines for the past few
years so Terry decided to try his luck with them. His brother, Donald, also has a small patch of cucumber vines.
