Many Christmas
Apples Are Being
Shipped From Here
According to the owners of the
Barber Orchards, the aDDle cron of
the past season was only a thirty-three
.mil a inira per cent crop and the poor
est in several years. The dry weather
"t June materially reduced the size of
np iruit, but has not impaired the
delicious .flavor .of the apples, nor
"-ntnvise taken from the extra tine
jiuahty of the fruit from these well
viowu orchards.
.. itigardless of the crop to date
;J'e than 1,000 Christmas baskets
voiding . one bushel each, have been
-hipped to places covering a wide
, area. They have been sent from Briton,
Connecticut, to Tampa. Fla., and from
Amanlla, Texas to Richmond, Va.. in-
udir.g the following other states:
Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Geor
gia, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missis
sippi. The apples distributed each
Jar by this orchard are among the
best advertisements of this section.
' -ans are now under way for ex-tensive-sprayintf-
in the spring'--as
-u.r Barber states, that it is necessary
to take the same care each year of
the trees, regardless of how little or
much they bear if a desirable aver
age crop is to be obtained.

New Years Night
By HILDA WAY GWYN
Christmas is almost here in the time worn phraseology the
saddest sweetest time of the year Yet true to-day as it was
when first written It is a time of entertainment and of family
reunion a time when one remembers how old one is how quick
ly time is beginning to pass and the vacant places at the family
table seem more vacant at Christmas we find ourselves thinking
back last Christmas and the year before.

And yet to the tender world of childhood Christmas is a mil
lion miles away but as we grow older time's circle moves more
rapidly and Christmas will follow Christmas almost too fast to
keep pace with our pocket books One writer has said that "th3
mere space of yesterday is between the young heart that yearned
for the filled stocking and the old feeble heart that may never
throb another Christmas Day."
