Envisioned Carolina Hills As Greatest Apple Country North Carolina has made tre mendous strides in the produc tion of many crops in the last half century. Among these crops is the apple, which can be grown to perfection in our upper Pied mont and Mountain counties. Let’s go back now in history to the year of 1896 and review some of the comments and pre dictions made at that time by Professor W. F. Massey, North Carolina’s first horticulturist. Then I will quote sections of a letter received yesterday which seem to give authority to Professor Massey’s predic tions. Professor Massey was speaking, in general terms, of the mountain counties where apples were grown at that time and where our oasrwnpjrcial acreage is now concfii&ated. He had 4hfc‘to say: “Thi* reg ion is th6‘ home of 'ihe apple and is destined to become the greatest apple growing region in America when its capabil ities in this respect are fully known to fruit growers. Many apples are grown there already but the varieties most popular in the North are not grown to the extent they should be. “The exhibits from North Carolina and Virginia at the Chicago Exposition opened the eyes of dealers to the great value of certain varieties which grow here to greater perfec tion than elsewhere. This is particularly true of the Wine sap and York Imperial (some time called Johnson’s Fine Win ter).” He had much more to say but I have given the essence. Now, by way of a newsletter, word comes from one of the largest marketing firms in the United States reminding the trade of the increasing impor tance of apple production in North Carolina: “Our studied opinion is that this state will rise to the stature demanded of the earliest major volume state in dessert variety mar keting. Watch her progress.” What the writer had in mind was the very favorable posi tion we occupy in the early marketing of some of our major varieties. This is particularly true erf the red (Color) sports of the Delicious variety. While the growers are con scious of the favorable posi tion related to the “early deal/* they realize, too, that our mar keting problems are not sol ved. Competition is becoming keener and more emphasis is being placed upon high quality fruit. It is still difficult to im press upon some North Car olinians that apple production is big business, and it's grow ing. In 1965, the commercial production was close to 4,500, 000 bushels and will increase rapidly as extensive new plant ings begin producing. It’s Wrapping Time “Use Your Imagination*’ is the gift wrapper’s theme song this Yuletide. The brilliant colors and exciting patterns of w - an inspir package* that are and fun to receive. - V v.-.* To imaginative gift wrap pings add the personal touch of imaginative ideas—and produce packages of real in dividuality. Imagination, however, should take off from a practical base. The gift wrapping project begins with careful selection of gift wrappings, ribbons, seals, cards and boxes of assorted sizes. Next step, assemble all the “extra’’ equipment that will make gift wrapping go faster —scissors, cardboard, cello phane tape, rubber cement or glue, string, sealing tape. Ideally, a location in the home should be set aside as gift wrapping headquarters. At the very least, provide a flat working surface, with a side table or tray for supplies. Awkward-sized packages can be disguised in still larger con tainers while small gifts might be given an added value by “hid ing” them in boxes specially designed to keep after Christ mas. Tree ornaments or sprigs of greens might add a festive, imaginative touch to packages. Still more imaginative is the use of a gift to wrap a gift. For example, use a belt or a$ a “ribbon”^ use any jewelfy 5 to' little -kkcfon gadgetsf'djj $,P0’<nta£€ ornament. Gifts too big to wrap—a major kitchen or laundry appliance, for instance—can be adorned with decorative, removable cutouts, bows or other ornaments. Remember to wrap gifts for mailing early and securely. Hershey firm on drafting of protesters.
