Record Apple Crop Seen For Haywood
$800,000
Harvest
Expected
By 1111.1. I.EINBACH
Stuff Writer
County Agent Wayne Corpentng
said yestarday that Haywood coun
ty will have the largest single apple
crop in many years, this fall. I
He said that orchard growers will
probablv sell about 300,000 bush-1
els for some $800,000 or more The
drought had little or no effect on j
the crop this fall, Corpening ex-1
plained and listed several reasons
why more apples are expected, i
(li trees suffered little or none j
from light freezes last spring. >2> |
hail damage was unusually light,
and (31 diseases and insects were
kept at a minimum from the eight
to 12 sprays that many orchard
men applied to their orchards. "j
The largest crop will come, as in j
I past years, from the Barber Oi -
chard at Saunook, second largest
east of the Mississippi river
Most orchardmen in the county
started harvesting the fruit this
week, an activity that will continue
until the first freeze. Apples that
are not gathered hy that time will
rot and cannot be used. Those that
are not sold can be stored easily
because Haywood has two of I he
three storage houses in North Caro
lina They are owned by Barber and
Henry Francis. Many other farmers
have common storage houses where
temperatures cannot be controlled
but are maintained at low levels
by building the storage houses
underground.
Although Haywood county apples
have a world-wide reputation, most
of them will be sold, as in past
years, within 300 miles of where
they are grown. The majority arc
sotd in bulk and trucks are making
daily trips from the various or
chards to markets.
Grown primarily for commercial
ime, the majority of Haywood ap
ples are the popular varities: Bed
Rome. Golden Delicious. Red Deli
cious. ^layman Winosap, and
Grimes Golden. Together they
bring an income into the county
that equals that from dairying
Many business firms, incidentally,

At a meeting Monday night a
sum of $2,730 was raised, with only
a small group present.
The citizens of the area, whir i
is composed of 335 Baptists and

Chamber of Commerce
Very Busy In Summer
At times during this past sum- '
mcr the Chamber of Commerce
office bore a resemblance to

made after learning that Miss
Edith Chambers, secretary, and
her assistant. Mrs. Ben Messer,
answered questions and Rave in
formation to an average of about
50 visitors a day during July and
August.
In a report just made to the !
Chamber's Board of Directors.
Miss Chambers said she received
522 letters in inquiry during
June, July, and August.
Tirkets with a total value of
$7.X21 were sold during the reg
ular season run of "Unto These
Mills." The ( ham her receives 10
YjrC cent of thsi sum. For each
Swrformanee of the drama, the
M'hamber received H5 tickets to
be sold. Miss Chambers said
there were many days when the i
allotment was gone early in the
day and many people had to be
turned away.

Daddy And His Little Girl
(Note: The following points a valuable lesson. It is worth j
reading . . . and keeping. It is regretted that the author is unknown; j
otherwise he would be given credit.)
Today my daughter, who is seven years old. started to school
as usual. Stic wore a dark blue dress with a white collar. She
had on black shoes and wore blue gloves. Her cocker spaniel, 1
whose name is Coot, sat on the front porch and whined his canine
belief in the folly of education as she waved good-bye and started
off to the hall of learning.
Tonight we talked about school. She told me about the girl
who sits in front of her. the girls with yellow curls, and the bov
across the aisle who makes funny faces. She tola me about her
teacher, who has c\os in the hark of her head, and the trees in the ,
school yard, and about the girl who doesn't believe in Santa Claus.
We talked about a lot of things -t.'omendously vital, unimportant
things, and then we studied spelling, reading, arithmetic?and then
to bed.
She's back there now?back in the nursery sound asleep, with
'Princess Klizabeth" ''hat's her dolli cuddled in her right arm.
You guys wouldn't hurt her. would you? You see, I'm her
daddy. When her doll is broken of her finger is cut or her head
gets bumped. I can fix. it?but when she starts to school, v. rum she
walks across the street, then she's In your hands. ?
?She's a nice kid She can run like a deer and dart about like
a chipmunk She likes toj-ide horses and swim and hike with m"
on Sunday afternoons. But I can't be with her all the time: I have
to work to pay for her clothes and her education. So please help
me look out for'her. Please drive slowly past the schools and inter
sections and please remember that children run from behind
parked cars.
Please don't run over my little girl.
