The geographical location of
Western North Carolina commer
cial apple orchards favors early
marketing, according ti> G. C.
Kllngboll, State College Exten
sion Horticulture Specialist, and
orchard management practices
must be geared to produce fruit J
of good color and size as early as (
possible. ?
Pruning is an integral part of
such orchard management. Kling- j
beil observes. Two result demon- |
stratlons to help show, the value |
of certain pruning practices have ,
been started in Henderson Coun- '
ty. !
The horticulturist hopes that )
the results of the demonstrations i
Will stimulate apple growers to
do a better job of pruning, In- I
crease the percentage of larger J
fruit, improve fruit color, facili- i
tate spraying and thereby mort ,
adequately control insects and '
pests, and increase the percentage |
of high grade fruit. j
One demonstration is being con- |
ducted at the orchard of Broadus .

among 20-year old trees of the |

good-quality eggs on the market,
don't produce them." To produce
good egg* the farmer should have
a good house that la well-venti
lated, deep clean litter, plenty of
good teed and gcV water, and
community nests. Also he says,
eggs should be collected two or
three times a day, stored In a
cool place, and cooled as quickly
as possible.

SAFE CHRISTMAS: The
Christmas season is one for fun
and fellowship but it can be one
of sorrow and tragedy. Many di
sastrous home flrea have been
caused because of faulty Christ
mas lights, and many painful
falls have come from putting the
Star at the top of the tree.
To lusure you and your family
of a truly Merry Christmas,
check yourself on these safety
points:
1. Are the cords of your Chrint
mas lights frayed or damaged?
2. Are the plugs cracked?
3. Is your Christmas tree root
ci in a pall of damp soil or sand
to prevent its drying out. Dry
needles exposed to hot bulbs in
vite trouble.
4. Is your tree placed to close
to. window curtains? Many cur
tain materials ignite easily.
5. Do you leave the Christmas
lights on when no noe is in the
room or in the house. Leaving
the lights on for long periods of
time can cause trouble, particu
larly if there Is no one about to
check the fixtures occasionally.
6. If you have lighting out-of
doors, Is It the type of lighting
that haa been weatherproofed.
Severe shock may result from
using Indoor lights outside In
damp weather.
7. Take precautlona In trim
ming the tree. Use a firm step
ladder for decorating the top of
the tree. #
8. Haa any Inflammable ma
terial been placed about the base
of the tree?
9. When the trimming job Is
done, Is' the floor free of loose
needles or ornament fragments
that may cause falls?
10. Precautions should also be
taken If gifts are to be unwrap
ped about an open fire.
