ESSENTIAL S AND N ON-ESSENTIALS 



M. L. V/ilson, National Director of the Extension S-;rvice says, "Never 

 before in our lifetime has it been possible for our Nation's families, through 

 th^ir choices of v/ays and resources, to play so important a role in determining 

 the fate of all nations. We luust give without stint what the nation needs of 

 these resources; but in giving vie must maintain health and wholesome family 

 life. Success in this undertaking calls for great vdsdom and skill in house- 

 hold management, for ability- to distinguish between essentials and non-essentials." 



Doing our part in v/artime means putting first things first every day. 

 We must make our moves count. Frills must be laid aside for the duration. 

 The v/riter once sav/ a farmer using a straw hat to sfv/at butterflies in his cab- 

 bage patch. He wore out his straw hat v.dthout getting many butterflies. How 

 much we all need the ability "to distinguish between essentials and non- 

 essentials." 



"APPLES GO TO IIA RKEI" 



Many readers of Fruit Notes have already seen the color film "Apples 

 Go to Market" which was prepared about a year ago. This film is of interest 

 to handlers of apples, consumers, and producers. It should be shovm to groups 

 of fruit and vegetable dealers during the coming fall and winter. Anyone in- 

 terested in obtaining the use of this film should drop a line to E. S. Carpenter,|

imi FRUIT BUL LETIN 



"Growing Fruits for Home Use" is the name of a new bulletin which will 

 be available to non- commercial fruit grovrf,rs within a few weeks. Copy for this 

 publication has just been submitted to the printer. 



AS Vffi BEGIN THE HARVESTING OF APPLES — Let's bear in mind that there is an ex- 

 treme shortage of storage space, especially in eastern Massachusetts. This 

 means that many of the applos which would normally go into storage must be mar- 

 keted during tho harvest season. It will bo a calamity if retail stores are 

 stocked with green, scabby, unattractive apples instead of the kind the con- 

 sumer wants to buy. We must have voliune novemont during September and October. 

 Good apples in all retail stores v/ill help tremendously.
