Apple crop
to beat odds,
farmers say
The Food Chain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WIMBERLEY - Hill Country
apple growers say they expect
the fruit to become the state's
most successful emerging crop,
despite warnings from horticul
turists of a poor success record
for Texas apples.
"People have said that what
we're doing is impossible," said
Burnett Orchards' Bud Burnett, a
retired Hays County judge.
"I would tell them to go look
at our orchards and then say it
again. We're doing what they
said we couldn't do.
Burnett Orchards, with 5,000
trees in 10 varieties, is one of sev
eral Hill Country apple orchards
with a bumper 1992 harvest.
The Texas Department of
Agriculture estimates that 2 mil
lion pounds of apples will come
from the Hill Country by the end
of the 1992 harvest season.
By 1995, the department said
it expects the region to produce
42 million pounds.
In comparison, leading pro
ducer Washington state harvest
ed 4.3 billion pounds of apples in
1991 and expects 4.7 billion
pounds this year, according to
the state agriculture department.
Although Texas may never
reach Washington's production
levels, state Agriculture Commis
sioner Rick Perry said he is opti
mistic about the crop's chances.
He called the potential for
growth "tremendous."

Japanese designer shows summer lim
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS— Kenzo Takada, the
Japanese man who first stunned
Paris with his colorful creations in
the 1960s, is showing his light
touch again with women's and
men's summer ready-to-wear.
The feathery-light clothes in
spired by South Pacific, Caribbean
and Sahara Desert styles were
shown Sunday, way ahead of the
usual summer ready-to-wear
shows in October.
"I want to move up the show
ings to realistic timing," said Ken
zo, explaining that by October,
when big-name shows hit the run
ways, most clothes are already on
order and in the works.
Buyers are currently in Paris for
a group of menswear and early
women's wear displays.

and greeted guests in the 19th-

Epoque-style Beaux Arts school.
His menswear was particularly
attractive.
He offered not only superb
planters' suits with silk or linen
vests in creamy colors, but some
great tie-shirt ideas, like poplin
shirts depicting a vest or sus
penders in the pattern.
Kenzo also tripped out to the
garden with beautifully printed
ties matching up with a splash of
tulips, asparagus or leeks on the
shirt underneath.
Men could give a lift to their
weekend wardrobes with cheery
stuff like this.
"I'd actually like to try wearing
some of the menswear," said fash
ion artist and writer Carol Mongo.
The cut for both menswear and
women's clothes was soft and
easy, though far from careless.
Women's wear was sober but
beautiful in sandy desert shades
or sky blue and combinations\of
turquoise, chartreuse, daffodil,
coral, and wisteria violet.
Long skirts? Kenzo has always
done long and short lengths.
Below-knee level predominat

around the upper ankle in blue
bell shapes, or split and flared.
Men's trousers were pleated at
the waist and rather straight and
wide, often drooping at the instep,

men.
The women's pants were ap

Poll rates Richards' job performance
Indicates Texas governor receives positive rating from every group in survey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Republicans, Bush voters, men, women,
black, white,"Blum said.
DALLAS — Nearly three Texans in four
approve of the job Gov. Ann Richards is do
ing, according to a poll by The Daillas Morn
ing News.
Richards scored highest
among her base support
ers of women. Democrats,
liberals, minorities and
those with moderate in
comes.
But she also drew good
marks from conservatives
and Republicans.
The poll indicates the
Democratic governor has
a positive approval rating
among virtually every group in the survey,
including political supporters of President
Bush.
"She could be elected queen of Texas,"
said Micheline Blum of the firm Blum &
Weprin Associates Inc., in New York, which
conducted the survey for the newspaper.
"She's got it every Way—the majority of
Bill Cryer, a spokesman for Richards,
called the figures "fairly astounding" and
credited what he called the governor's ac
tivist style in trying to stabilize insurance
rates, clean up oil spills, ease jail overcrowd
ing and improve education in the state.
Karen Hughes, executive director of the
Texas Republican Party, said the results re
flect "the power of her personality rather
than the popularity of her policies."
Ninety percent of Democrats polled gave
the governor high marks, compared wii
percent of the Republicans and 73 percent of
those who identify themselves as indepen
dents.
More than three-fourths of the women
polled and approximately two-thirds of the
men gave her a favorable rating.
Positive approval ratings also came from
nearly 90 percent of Hispanics surveyed, 81
percent of blacks and 69 percent of whites.
Richards
Richards rose to national attention four
years ago as the keynote speaker at the De
mocratic National Convention and returned
as chairwoman this year.
According to the survey, 73 percent of
those polled approved of the job Richards is
doing.
Twenty percent said they did not and the
rest were undecided.
The telephone survey of 1,027 registered
voters was conducted Aug, 30-Sept. 3 and
has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage
points.
Eighty-two percent of those earning less
than $10,000 a year gave her high marks,
compared with 77 percent of those earning
$40,000-$50,000 annually, and 55 percent of
those earning more than $100,000 a year, ac
cording to the survey.
Education, prisons and taxes will be onto
agenda when the Texas legislature returns
work, beginning with an expected
session on public schools in November.
Both Cryer and Hughes said they expect
the governor's approval rating to fall some
what as a result of the session.
