ALF SMITH JACKSON COUNTY'S AUTHORITY
ON BEST METHODS FOR GROWING BERRIES
By John Corbln, Instructor
Vocational Agriculture
Mr. Alf Smith ? Sylva's straw
berry man.
Ask anybody about strawberries
in and around Sylva and they will
immediately refer you to Mr. Alf
Smith, of East Sylva or Dillard
Town. That is the way it should
be for Mr. Smith has more straw
berries, knows more about them,
and has done it for a longer time
than anybody in the community
and so far as I know in the county.
Mr. Smith says that he has had
about seventy years experience
with strawberries and yet he is
not near that old a man. It came
about this way: he worked for a
strawberry man about 20 years
who had had 30 years experience
with the berries and then Mr.
Smith has been growing them
himself about 20 years. Mr. Smith
has about three or four acres in the
crop and spends all his time with
them and a few other vegetables
he likes to grow. He really lives
with his berries from early till
late. In fact he has a little har
vesting house in the field where, he
does his crating, packing, etc.,
with a well in the yard and a cot
in the house -to rest or sleep on
if necessary. -Mrr Smith knows his
trad as few people know their
business and he believes in the
berries and says that the men who
visits his field in May when the
berries are ripe had better either
leave, their wives at home or bring
their pocket book along for the
women will sure want some of his
big luscious Big Joe's, Fairfax or
Premier. ,
Jackson Countty is admirably
adapted to growing this crop. Our
small fields, rich soil, stoop land
and climate make this one of the
best crops for us to engage in.- The
money returns per acre will equal
crop, a small plot of ground will be
enough to start with, you do not
need any machinery and you
couldn't use it on .our steep land if
you had it, most land is rich enough
without fertilizer, any kind of
laboi will do even children can
help, steep land lacing the south
east is the best and that is the kind
we have, the work is pleasant be
cause you can eat mem while pick
ing without cooking, the market 'is
good. Everybody likes the berries
and will buy them and the market
ing facilities are good for even a
child or woman can carry many !
dollars worth down the side of
the mountain to the railroad or
highway.
The leading varieties are Pre
mier, Dorset, and Fairview. Dur
ing Nov. 1945 is the best time you
will ever have to start your straw
berry growing. Set them on the
ndges where you dug potatoes,
the plants 15 inches apart. Another
>eai you will have enough of your
own plants to enlarge your patch.
Yes, I know you have a patch of
wild berries where you and the
children go, eat and can from each
year but that just proves that they
will really grow here if you will
use improved varieties and help
them a littie. Yes, Mr. Smith will
help me tell you all about them if
you will come to see us.
Only four states have shown a
decrease in the number of chickens
raised this year. The states are
Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia,
and Tennessee.
Since wheat prices are to be sup
ported at 90 per cent of parity for
two years after the war, more
wheat may be grown than can be
profitably marketed, says a re
port.

This, we reasoned, is no time
to offer folks a car that stops
with artful face-lifting.
It has been nearly four years
' since our last new Buick was
?|j built ? it wouldn't be shooting
?ji square now to give you less
f than our honor-bright best.
V
So we overhauled our whole
factory to advantage it with
the latest in war-developed
machines and processes.
We scoured the country for the
stoutest metals anyone can buy
today.
We set ourselves precisions
that in some cases exceed those
of aircraft engine production.
And we eagle-eyed every one
of this Buick's 12,000 parts to
see if it could be bettered in
any way, big or little.
The result is that through
every stunning inch of this
bright new honey runs solid,
dependable Buick character,
honest and uncompromised.
It's in swift clean lines. In seats
that are three-persons wide. In
stout, time-defying frames and
underpinning. Above all ? in
the lift and life of a Fireball
straight-eight that's even live*
lier than in 1942.
The cars your Buick dealer
will have are big. They're
beautiful. They're Buicks.
In fact ? the best Buicks yett.
