Reminiscent of the past is the classic pinwheel design in crochet,.
here used in an S\quisite cloth for a modern table. You can make this -
cloth yourself, crocheting each whirling medallion scparatedy in mercerized |
crochet cotton. Whether you choose traditional white or ecru, or experi-1
ment with a color, you need have no fear that your cloth will lose any of
its beauty of texture or color after frequent launderings. Another prac
tical note which should not be overlooked is the very small cost involved
in the making of this tablecloth. Each motif will cost less than Ic to
crochet! Directions for crocheting this cloth may be obtained by sending
a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the Needlework Departaient of this
paper, specifying design No. 7064.

U. S. No. 1, 2-inch min, packed in
bushel baskets, for the period July

to $1.20, Georgia Belles of same grade

About July 25, Norm Carolina El-

South Carolina shipments were also
hitting their peak. Thereafter, the
consumption of peaches could not keep
pace with the heavy shipments, and
prices declined daily. During the per
iod of heavy shipments, North Caro
lina Elbertas were selling at 55 to 60
cents for the best fruit- After Geor

ket improved, but by that time, the
North Carolina season was practical

State Pea«'hes Small But Gocd
“The quality of North Carolina
peaches in general was very good,”
the marketing service reported. "Al
though the size of the fruit was not
thought to be as good as last year's.
Some of the fruit became too ripe,
probably because some of the growers
were holding back on their picking,
hoping for a better price. When the
rain came on August 4 and August
5 and interferred with the harvesting,
fruit was shipped a day or so late."
The Surplus Marketing Administra
tion purchased a large part of North
Carolina Elbertas at prices ranging

Of 1,166 cars of North Carolina
