THE CROWNING OF
THE EDIBLES KING
By Mits Otelia Crawford. Home Economics
Department. Hayesville
High School.
While walking alone in the v.- is
I oame u; on the- edge f a grassy
deli, where the farie? ar. ; elves held
thei ?solemn . v.-il play. "
there was .. en.it crowd : F?lib'.e =
assembeld. The edible .ace - i.->t
a new race per !*-. \;t an d one
that ha; a.way; een taken f-?r granted
and never give: a < h&nce.
Thi? was a great >r th< edible
people; it - tu dedit- who 1
should be their king, and wn . should ^
compose his court.
There was Mr. .Spud. walking J
around very : r udly, with his wellrounded
stomach considerably in advance
of the res-, of hi; anatomy. 1
making himself very popular. Mrs. *
Bean and Mr. Pea were exchanging
greetings, while Mr. Parsnip and !
Miss Carrot were, evidently, getting up
a fliratio:.. Mr. Bru-selspout,, i
and a half dozen of his brothers 1
were tvyng to make love t< Miss
Cauliflower.
uver ?r. a snaiiow place >t tr.e lake. *
in a lot of black mud. lay Mr. Hop, 3
with his eyes closed, contented and '
happy to be alone. Mr. Mutton and *
Mr. Beef were grazing away as ;
though there were nothing unusual
about to take place. There were all
kinds of vegetables and meats galore. '
and grain? of all kinds waving their
greeting to the great host.
Just a few minutes before the contest
was to open, Mrs. Milk-Jar came i
waddling up, leading little Milk- :
bottle by the hand. Both he and 1
his mother were happy to be in this 3
great crowd. J
The great moment for all had ar- 1
rived. The judges came tripping t
into the dell. They were n-? other <
than six fairies and six elves. They 1
took their places upon a =mall plat
form in the center of the dell, which 1
was gilted with dew-drops and draped <
with ribbons of sun beams, while
the canopy was of wild flowers and 1
autumn leaves. 1
The foreman of the jury arose, j
and announced the purpose of the 1
meeting. Each of the most popular *
edibles should have an onnortnnitv 1
to speak in his own behalf, but the t
crown should be placed upon the one
that proved to be most valuable to j
that higher order of being called man. 1
There was some hesitation as to who >
should speak first; but Mr. Brus-| I
selspout, feeling that he must do ,
something to win the favor of Miss
Cauliflower, stepped forward and a
said: "Most beautiful and lovely t
fairies, profund and august elves,
there is not to be found within the a
realm of mystic beings more compe- a
tant and unbiased judges. I would . w
like to state my case, and that of, s
Miss Cauliflower, jointly. She is a
most aristocratic and refined lady I a

Mr. Fruit Stepped to the front,
lowed \ery low and said, "Honorific
Judges, and fellow edibles, it
jives me pleasure to stand before
?*ou to represent my noble family.
iVe are not as rich iu some of the
food values as some that have spok;n
today, but in my family you will
find various food values that cannot
>e over-looked. We have a great
imount of vitamins and acids that
ire of aid to the digestive juices, and
ire esential to life."
Others came before the judges and
nade their plea, but last of all was
Sir. Beef. He was very eloquent
>ut just stated plain facts.
"Most honorable Judges, permit
ne to say that 1 do not wish to claim
my merits that I do not possess.

'ood values of all the meats and am

All expected him to say more, but!
jc remained silent. The great monent
for the decision had come. The
udges conversed among themselves,
?nd the spokesman arose and said,'
'Most worthy people of the edible
lation, it gives me pleasure to place
he crown upon the head of Mr. Beef.
He is your king, and lady milkar
is your queen. And this." he said i
aying his hand upon the head of Mr.
iVheat. "is the crown-prince and Mr.
*iuit. shall be Prime Minister."
There arose a great shout. The
rhole dell was filled with commoticn
s the edibles sang the praises of
heir new royalty.
The king and queen marched out
cross the meadow, the crown-prince
nd Prime Minister next in order,
rhile the others followed in their repective
places.

Prepare to Fight
The Apple Worm
TV,^ .n.;nn 1 -
cool night; have delayed the coming
of the apple worm (Codling moth)
and indication? are that another season
of side injury and wormy apple
similiar to that of last year will follow.
Mr. J. C. Crawford, field Entomologist
of the State Department of 1
Agriculture stationed at the State
Experiment Station Buncombe County,
reports that the first codling moth
came out April 12th and for the past
week has been emerging in large numbers
hut has again been delayed by
the recent cool nights.
The moth, if the nights are warm,!
begins laying eggs shortly after they '
come out. This drawn out egg lay
ing period will result in "Waves" of j
worms which enter the Calyx and side :
of the apple during its growing season.
The surest method of control is
by Tceeping the leaves and fruit covered
thoroughly with arsenate of lead
spray <1 1-2 pounds to 50 gallons
of water) to be more specific, make
at least three applications around two
weeks apart following the 2-weeks
spray which you put on after the
calyx sprat. The fruit grower who
sprayed thoroughly at the Calyx time
and the 2-weeks period after the
calyx spray, will be more successful
in having "free wormy" fruit. There
will be a second brood of worms from
these first "Waves" of codling moths
and information as to the time of
spraying for them will be sent you
later on.
