WHAT YOU CAfo DO WITH jN APPLE
BY CAROLINE COE
'buy-a-peck-of-apples"
their battle cry an army of house
keepers, school children and men
folks have marched forth to capture
the home market for the American
apple.
This army of peace is going to help
the American apple raiser to sell his
crop at home; the patriotic men and
women and children who have taken
up the "buy-a-peck-of-apples" slogan
are going to put the prop of personal
support under the apple market that
almost toppled over when the Euro
pean war began.
Their plan of action is simple. They
are going to buy apples, sell apples,
store apples, eat apples, and "boost"
apples until the apple crop from
Maine to Texas is taken care of.
Everyone is eligible to join the
"buy-a-peck-of-apples" army or
club, if you like the more sociable
name. There are no fees, no restric
tions of any kind. Buy an apple, buy
a peck; buy a barrel of them if you
can; "boost" apples, and you are a
member in good standing of the
"buy-a-peck-of-apples" club.
The "buy-a-peck-of-apples" cam
paign was started by Curtis Guild,
former governor of Massachusetts,
when in a public address he told of
the value of the apple, its use as a
food, and as medicine, its place in
history. Immediately the "buy-a-peck-of-apples"
army began mobil
izing. Here are some ways to use ap
ples. Pr,ste them in your cook book
and feed them plenty of apples your
family will be all the healthier for it
