ANDY £LARKE'S TOBLAME Andy Clarke as brangmng the farmers, market gardeners and fruit growers of Durham County to the Editor's office. The "sanctum" these days looks like the fruit and veg- etable department at a coun- try fair . .. what with apples, carrots, onions and so on. Some morning we will be greeted with a lusty cock-a- doodle-do from a gigantic rooster or a squeaky squeal of a piggie-wiggie as we enter the door. But it's proving two things. The farmers listen to Andy Clarke Sunday morn- ings, "Neighborly N e w s" broadcast, and products they grow are getting "bigger and better". Russell Stainton, Zion, has Baxter apples measuring 14, inches n circumference. A six-quart basket was brought into us by A. J. Balson, from Stainton's *orchard, and we counted them--just six apples. A Rhode Island Greening taken from his orchard meas- ured 12 inches in circumfer- ence., His trees are yielding from six to eight boxes each. In addition to the big apples, a peculiar shaped MacIntosh Red was picked in Stainton's orchard. Two apples were fused together growing from one stem. F. Swallow & Son, Maple Grove, brought in an il quart basket of Spanish onions. They weighed from 11/ to 13/ pounds each and it took but fine to fi the basket. The largest was 141/2 inches in circumference. Dr. E. W. Sisson, dentist, came into the office with a carrot. Its tap root was 44 inches in length. Everything Dr. Sisson turns his hand to is "'tops". He raised chîck- ens and soon became known ail over the American conti- nent for his leghorns. He started breeding canaries and his songsters warbled them- selves into the homes of many Durhamites. His latest hobby as growing gladioli. September is blossom time in Durham 'County. W. H. Carruthers brought in a branch of apple blossoms to the editor on Wednesday. g---------- ,HED 0 SALVAGE 15VVVIVlANVILLPý.
