That statement has been made many, many times, far and near by the late Josephus Daniels, who did much to publicize the quality of apples crown in this county. On one occasion, while making an address here, Mr. Daniels said: "A man that don't like fried Haywood apples three times a day has not learned what good eating can be."

Lloyd Langdon of the Carolina Power and Light Company's Ashe ville office addressed an audience of 150 people at a session at the school house. He advised the citizens also to work so that when the boys and girls come home from college they will find recreation in the commun ity instead of having to go outside of it to find entertainment. Mr. Langdon discussed projects that could be carried out such as a cleanup campaign, religious act ivities, better citizenship, social entertainment, education from the economic standpoint of living, mar ket for produce, truck farming, poultry,' livestock, and other matters. The audience saw a movie of last year's farm tour and another illustrating the Importance of mak ing donations to blood banks. Charles H. Duckett presided at the meeting. The community leaders set the next session for May 20 at 8 p.m. at the Fines Creek School. OUT OF LUCK FORT WORTH, Tex.

Hi iir--'-" --11 Haywood apples are knowri far and wide for their distinctive flavor and are in demand on the leading apple markets of the country.

Unlimited Quantities Could Be Marketed Fruits and vegetables grown in Haywood represent a cash income of about $750,000, according to records of the department ot agri iiiinrp This fieurp is about 14 per cent of the total cash income of five millions for Haywood. Apples account for the single largest item in fruits and vege tables. There are about aple trees in Haywood orchards. The green vegetable market is growing, with green beans leading the list, with spinach and potatoes coming in close behind. The creen beans here hit the market lust about the time the beans from other southern state:; are over, which means a good price on usually a light competitive market. Pntntnes crown here are in great demand esoeciallv for seed. Many of the higher fields are devoted entirely to the growing of certified seed potatoes. Strawberries and raspberrips crown here are of a high quj'i'y. While the season on them is usu ally short, the quality makes up for the short duration in which they flourish. The operation of the cannery here has resulted In many acres of green beans. Many of the beans packed are of the select quali'y. and bring a premium price on the wholesale market. The climate of Haywood is ideal for growing choice fruits and vege tables, since the days are warm, and the nights cool. The growth Is steady, and crop always full-flavored. In the past few years, thousands of pounds of blackberries have been canned at the cannery In Hazelwood. During the war almost all of the output was shipped to the armed forces. Fruit and vegetable experts pre dict for Haywood a bright futur In both lines, as the foundation has been laid for steady improve ment In both fields.
