man was once reproached for taking
second wife within a month after his
first wife's death and he replied by ask

The fruit crop of North Carolina is
worth much more han the average man
supposes. Here is proof from the Monroe
Journal:
"Mr. John H. Blanton sold and caused
to be sold in Union county last year
about Il, 1000 fruit cans. That means U.s.,
900 quarts of fruit, vegetables and ber-
ries saved that otherwise would have
been lost. At 10 cents a can the value
of this fruit ETC., is $500. More fruit
and vegetables were saved in the county

his blunder."
