STATE WINE ACT
LIKELY TO PASS
TEST IN COURTS
Complete Text of Act Is
Given; But One Point
Is Doubtful
-®
Raleigh The wine act, enacted for
Xurtti Carolina by the recent Gen
eral Assembly, is expected to “hold
water,” even if the Supreme Court
should say the liquor law for 18-plus
counties is unconstitutional, except
possibly the part of the wine law
Which apparently limits the sale of
wines to those made in North Caro
lina. That may be held illegal under
the Interstate Commerce Act, and if
so, it would open up the State to out
side wines containing only as much
alcohol as i- created by “natural t»r
mentation."
Due to the interest in the State over
the wine act, which lias not been
printed, a copy of the bill is given be
low. The first was Senate Bill No.
597, and this was amended by Senate
Bill 658. As given below, the amend
ments are written into the original
bill and is therefore the composite
law. It follows:
“The General Assembly of North
Carolina do enact:
"Section 1. That it shall be lawful
for all persons growing crops, either
wild or cultivated, of grapes, fruits or
berries to make therefrom light do
mestic wines or wines having only
such alcoholic content as natural fer
mentation may produce, or the use of
his or their family and guests,
"Sec, Z. That any grower of such
crops may make such wines, sell and
transport the same to any person,
firm or corporation in the State en
gaged either as wholesaler or retailer
of food products, such yvines to be
sold in original packages not for con
sumption on the premises, except in
hotels and bona fide restaurants en
gaged in selling food and serving
meals.
No waste
food!
IN thousands of country
homes, housewives are
grateful to husbands who
had the foresight to invest in Superfex, that oil burning
refrigerator which keeps their food fresh, wholesome,
and free from spoilage at a cost of less than $10 a year.
Superfex means a substantial saving of food and money...

necessity for you and the rest of the family. Superfex

Superfex comes in five models ... all sturdily built... and

tiveness. Superfex burns only a few hours each day, then
goes out; but refrigeration goes on for 24 hours.

June Is Important Month in Cultivation
\nd (-are of Garden and Fruit Cropsj
Orchardists and vegetable growers
consider June an important period in
the cultivation and care of garden and
fruit crops,
If a good yield is to be obtained,
free from rots and other injtiriies, in- j
sects and disease must be controlled,
says M. E. Gardner, bead of the hor- j
ticultural department at State Col- '
lege.
Spraying and dusting are particu
larly important at this time of year,
Gardner points • ■ nt. since it is essen
tial to control insects and diseases be
fore they have time to develop.
The spraying or dusting should be
done at the right time and with the
proper materials. Apply them thor
oughly to all parts of the plant.
Calendars showing the recommend
ed spray mixtures for apple and peach
trees, anil the time to use them, may
he obtained without cost from the
agricultural editor at State College,
Raleigh.
Frequent cultivation of the soil wilt!
keep down gra-s and weeds, which!
rob the soil of moisture and food that
should he available for the crops. But
do not cultivate too deeply, Gardner
warns, for deep cultivation often in
jures the plant roots.
In June, he adds, succession plant
ing may be made of sweet corn, snap
beans, and cowpeas. Tomato seed may
be planted for a late crop.
Pleasing the housewife K a Jiig
factor in the sale of fruits and veg
etables. lie says. A clean, well pre
pared product of standard grade will
do much to solve the marketing prob
lem.

and effect of law's, after the same
have been approved by the Governor.
"Sec. 5. That if any producer of
wine or wines desires to sell his pro
duct at retail he may in any county
where such sale is not prohibited by
filing with the clerk of court of -uch
county an application in which he
shall describe the place, at which he
