APPLE CROP EXCELLENT IN TAYLORSVILL ARE Taylorsville, July 22.—Estimates place the Alexander county apple crop this year at 600,000 bushels, according to J. P. Levans, -farm agent of the State college Extension Service. Although the crop is short in many of the county’s orchards, growers are expecting a fine qual ity of fruit this year. The possible shortage will more than likely be made up to a certain extent by the size of the fruit. Agent Leagans said the apples are sizing up exceptionally well in a majority of the orchards. UNION FARMERS PLEASED WITH NEW MILK STATION Monroe, July 22. —Union county farmers are hailing the establish ment of a milk receiving station in Albemarle as one of the greatest stimulants ever afforded the coun ty’s dairy industry, reports T. J. W. Broom, farm agent of the State college Extension Service. “When the plant opens this fall,” Broom said, “farmers will have a day-by day cash market for their milk. No longer will they have to depend on cotton alone for a market where they can get cash money any day of the year.” Wife Preservers For decoration for a birthday, cake an ingenious woman set her heart-shaped sandwich cutfer in the center of thefreah Sos her cake, and filleA it with tiny i decorative When she. 1 the cutter, there wm a colored v heart right In the middle of the Odd Facts In Carolina By Cari Spencer ‘'£los REPUTED TO WEIGH IN EXCESS OF .
