BETTER FRUIT 



November 



Fruit Labels 



When packed in a plain box or crate, fruit is fruit. It does 

 not mean apples or other fruit until you label it properly 

 and just as good clothes make a favorable impression- 

 give distinction- so well designed and printed labels dress 

 your package, appeal to the eye and help the sale. 



Our Lithographed Labels will advertise your brand 

 and help the dealer sell your apples.

VHEN WRITING ADVERTISERS MENTION BETTER FRUIT 



Apples vs. Potatoes 



THE Federal Food Administration is 

 laying great emphasis on the im- 

 portance of the American public con- 

 suming greatly increased quantities of 



fruits and vegetables, and decreased 

 quantities of wheat, meat and other 

 exportable articles. The press has 

 been doing a valuable national service 

 in disseminating this propaganda. A 

 very intelligent educational article ap- 

 pears hereunder, which you are urged 

 to read because it is of national inter- 

 est. 



An excellent paper was read before 

 the National Apple Growers' Associa- 

 tion Convention held at Niagara Falls 

 by Mrs. H. M. Dunlap, wife of the pres- 

 ident of the association. It was enti- 

 tled "Apples as a Food and Its Dietetic 

 Value." We quote the following inter- 

 esting portion of the address which 

 ought to be circulated in every home 

 where apples are not a regular part 

 of the diet. There is a movement on 

 foot to induce the people of this coun- 

 try to eat more apples and save the 

 nonperishable foods for the armies at 

 the war front. The lady said : 



"In the apple grower's profession I 

 see great opportunities for good, be- 

 cause I know of no one food that can 

 do so much towards helping to pro- 

 duce and maintain health as the apple. 

 It is called 'The King of Fruit,' and the 

 little book that has been edited under 

 that title giving 209 ways of preparing 

 it has the effect of making one realize 

 how valuable it is as a food for man. 



"With cold storage facilities, it be- 

 comes possible to have an apple every 

 day in the year, which I think is 

 equally, if not more important from a 

 health standpoint for the individual, 

 than a potato a day. Great sympathy 

 and solicitation has been manifested 

 the past year because the price of 

 potatoes were beyond the economic 

 possibilities of some of our people, but 

 a scarcity of apples is never consid- 

 ered as a dietetic calamity. Why? 

 Because an apple for lo these many 

 years has been considered a luxury 

 and never a necessity, like the potato. 

 An apple is said to contain only about 

 one-fourth less solid matter than a po- 

 tato; it contains elements of equal or 

 more value, in maintaining a balanced 

 ration for man than the potato. 



"I am sure for the improved health 

 of mankind it might be well to every
