?i * A OCTOBER 6, 1927 WATAUGA GROWS 7 FINEST CABBAGE: a ?| Fred G Mahler of Raleigh b.'.Seesj -" roisibilitiei lor Fruit am?I Ptc-j disc* Crop* In County: Co-ojoora-l tlou in Marketing it Big Need. j .. "There are no hrei cabbage:- v' grown anywhere in the country than b in Watauga." is the opinion of Fred ,.. G. Mahler of Raleigh, who went . through the county inst wet-fc. The Lenoir News-Topic- "The great \r difficulty, of cour.-t. is bringing out jj the crop. But* it looks like the farm- ... ers of that county who raise cabbage and other vegetables ought to orgarii'e themselves .?:> as to market ; their vegetables more effectively. , The largest eity in ih1 state is only some hundred miles away, and the next :urges 1 about tite name distance. " If the growers could pool tnetr crops together and make huilk shipments to the noitits premising the best returns, it looks like the effort would be a paying one. "Watauga is naturally a fruit, veg-; etal h and grass country. It would I be hard to find any land that repays better the application o? fertilizer than there. Then there is a tint flavor to tilt yegetables grown there. Probably the different".- in the elevation from the rest of the state has something to do with this. At a-:} rate they are of a supvrior qnaiity. [f they could he placed on sale in the markets of Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Charlotte and other large towns it would seer.r but reasor.uhlc to expect that they wotiVtj find a ready rale to discriminating I people. A kraut factory is in opei'-j at; some portion of the year, but j this disposes of but' a portion the, cabbage crop. Certainty the farm-j err of Watauga should term Hrem-j selves into a close alliance for the, marketing of thee product-, which j are markedly different fruit; those of; the rest of the state. The most: distinctive and union ] K crop grown it: the county?buck J wheat?seems to be sensibly losing or :nd. A ride of many miles re vea'Od only twe 01 three tields, and thfft were small ones. It is eiaimod th;p buckwheat has a hurtful effect or. the land, and. coupled with th fact fhat there i- but litthy market i or k. nas served to dsscouYage its 1 growth. In this hurrying time peo- I pie . ant to lose, no time in preparing fami the fact that Watauga buckwheat batt'er has to be made iip a day before using in contrast to the self-rising quickly available, flour tha?. is to be found in all stores, naturally puts a crimp in the Watauga product. It is a pity t'hat this crop is languishing, for it has served to give Watauga a considerable repu-l tat However, there is no reason why the self-rising qualities could not be imparted to the buckwheat flour ground here as in that of N?w York or Ontario. If this were realized it would be reasonable to relieve that many among the hundreds of visitors m the summer to the county would make it a point to purchase some. "A few years ago the Valley t'ru/lie coUnvv! f\rtiwnw r ' uvuhvi 1h cheese, ami attracted much at^ tention i:i the state, ft seemed to promise success for a time, but has been discontinued there. Mevert'he? less-the making of cheese goes on in the county, there being at-last two if not more factories in the county now. On account of the naturally gl fine dairy' facilities in t'he > county available for the making of cheese, it would appear that good returns could be made if this product were pushed on the market. There is no question that just as fine cheese is marie here as in Illinois or Wisconsin, but of course attention will have to be given to the attractiveness of the packing and other details. All. of this entails expense and trouble but the results in' the end: would justify this. "The extenrives groves 011 Sugar mountain bring to mind the possibilities that exist in the county for thy making of maple- sugar and syrup.-' If is a little strange that this field of enterprise has not been utilized more in Watauga. The climatic. conditions bear a strong resemblance to those of Vermont, and if attention had -been more concentrated. ... on this in former years there might "yi^ be a thriving industry in the much soupht-for "ayrup today. It is never . . ... < - -- , iuo jaie cp begin; cnougn, and it a systematic effort could be started to _ make use of the crude sap now avail'ab!e for syrup it would be possible ^ to make some profits right away. V Real maple syrup is a difficult prod- 1 act to find on the market today. Even J the most expensive kinds are known [ to be adulterated. In the near fu- |i tore there could he placed or. the i| market pure maple syrup in glass or ]i tin containers, appropriately labeled i[ from Watauga, the public, particu- J i larly in North Carolina, would he J anxious to buy it. The maple sugar Ji and syrup possibilities in Watauga ?[ ought to he looked into by the farm- J i ers there without delay. Years will ?] have to eventuate before the indus-- J i try could be in going shape, but j| once established it would be firmly Ji grounded. = | "It is always a delight to see the J i fine stock of cattle and sheep that i ] are ever to be found in Watauga.
