According to a cheerful super stition, If the sun shines through the limbs of apple trees on Christmas Day it means there will be a good crop the next year. If that’s the case, the sun must have been at its brightest over the nation’s apple orchards last Christmas. The 1965 apple crop - at 134 million bushels - is nine per cent larger than the five year average. With the ample supply of ap ples, homemakers will be able to buy ^ples at low cost during the holiday season. And if you are one to settle down in a cozy old easy chair with a nutcracker and a bowl of nuts in your lap to enjoy, you will be glad to know that the pe can crop is expected to be whop ping big. In fact, the crop is esti mated at 260 million pounds — enough for lots of good baking and eating. Other foods likely to be in good supply and at reasonable prices in December are apples, onions, cabbage, fresh oranges, frozen Dke moil treaiured %dnler the ^ree Lr Ju rniture Co. Tel.
