Subscription $2.50 Per Year baby food being produced in Asheville, according to John Erichson,’ plant manager. The Palmetto. Grape Company In Spartanburg, South Carolina will press and clarify the "juice, ' which will then be transplanted in tank trucks to 'the Asheville plant for proaeisSing. According to Jack Leaver, pro duce manager at the . Asheville \ plant, grade specifications for juice apples are more lenient than for sauce apples; however, apples with worm damage or de cay cannot be used. Defects o.i skin, such as scab, 'and ' apples which may be hail damaged, are generally suitable for juice, Size makes no difference; in fact, Leaver said "it would be ex- : pected that 'this wou'd be a good outlet for smaller size apples un suitable for packing or for sauce. Almost all.varieties will be used' as the apple juice will be a. bier l of several varieties for..- : uniform *" flavor." Red .Delicious, Golden D - ■licious, Stayman, Grimes Golden, Romes, Limber Twigs, and R.d Golds, are- some .of , the varieties I which will be especially suitable. 1 ' Approximately three, million pounds of' juice, 'apples, wi11,., be needed by the baby” food plant..ties ’ fall in addition, t 0... th. ir ~regular' sauce apples!" Leaver said.. Gs'jbvr will begin "to buy .juice apples as Soon as apple harvest starts, ip til 1 late summer, hut any growers.wlp might h? interested are asked to contact Gerber in the near future. The Garb r people are pleased tu be stal ling this pack and feel, it . will offer a good market for ap ples which might not find a ready ; market in any other way. Although 1 there are ether apple juice pr >- ; eesrers, the G iber cpeialim veil 1 probaby be the largest in the 1 area.
