Proper care and use of the land diverted is a requirement for earning diversion and price-support payments and for establishing eligibility for price-support loans, Mr. Brewer said. Diverted acres must be land of average or better pro ductivity that would normal ly be devoted to such crops this year if there were no programs. The diverted land must be kept in a good state of cultivation or have a cover crop. Noxious weeds should not be allowed to mature on diverted acreage. In addition, no crop may be harvested and the land may not be grazed between April 30 and Octob er 1, Brewer said. The pur pose of diverting acreage is to help prevent excess produc tion of these crops. At the same time, the Department of Agriculture is concerned that use of diverted acreage not add to excess production of other crops and also that he land be properly conserved to prevent soil erosion and water siltation. Mr. Brewer emphasized that failure to maintain di verted acres can result in loss of all or part of any payments otherwise earned. Franklinton Head Start Graduation (FRK. B.W.)

Professor Discusess Apple Growing North Carolina has made tremendous strides in the pro duction of many crops in the last half century. Among these crops is the apple, which can be grown to per fection in our upper Red mo nt and mountain counties. Let's go back now in his tory to the year 1896 and review some of the comments and predictions made at that time by Professor W. F. Mas sey, North Carolina's first horticulturist. Then I will quote sections of a letter which seem to give authority to Professor Massey's predic tion. Professor Massey was speaking, in general terms, of the mountain counties where apples were grown at that time and where our commer cial acreage is now concen trated. He had this to say: "This region is the home of the apple and is destined to become the greatest apple growing region in America when its capabilities 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 perfection than elsewhere. This is particularly true of the Winesap and York Imperial (sometimes called Johnson's Fine Winter)." He had much more to say but I have given the essence. Now, by way of a news letter, word comes from one of the largest marketing firms in the United States remind ing the trade of the increasing importance of apple produc tion in North Carolina: "Our studied opinion is that this state will rise to he statute demanded of the earliest ma jor volume state in dessert variety marketing. Watch her It is easy to find an excuse for what one does not care to do but the self-controlled in dividual attempts to do what conscience requires. progress." What the writer had in mind was the vary favorable portion we occupy in the early marketing of some of our major virieties. This is particularly true of the red (color) spoils 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 marketing problems are not solved. Competition is becoming keener and more emphasis is being placed upon high quality fruit. It is still difficult to im press upon some North Caro linians that apple production is big business, and it's grow ing. In 1969, the commercial production is estimated to be 6,500,000 bushels; and will increase rapidly as extensive new plantings begin produc ing.
