one, and when cranberries reached $50 O
barrel there was a stampede. In New
Jersey especially the craze for planting
cranberry bogs ragged fiercely. Swamp
land which had been considered practi-
cally worthless grew in value quicker
than corner lots in a western boom
town. Inland farmers sold out their fer
tile acres at sacrifice and moved to the
coast, where they invested the savings
of years. They knew that an acre of
good bog land would yield from so to
100 bushels, and with the prevailing
high prices for cranberries it was easy
enough to figure out how big fortune
could easily and surely be made. Land
that could have been bought for So an
acre before the craze set in was sold as
high as 81, 900 an acre and at all sorts
of prices below that figure.
The result was that in q few years,
when many big bogs had been brought
to the bearing point and after an unus-
ually large yield had been gathered,
there was glut of cranberries. Prices
went as low as SO bushel, which did
not much more than pay for the pick
ing, packing and shipping. Next season
thousands of bushels - cranberries were
allowed to rot on the vines.
Then the cranberry growers got to-
gether and formed national alliance.
They decided that radical measures
must be taken or else the fortunes which
they had put into boys would be sunk
there beyond all recovery. With Yam
kee shrewdness they concluded that the
first thing to be done was to broaden
their market. At that time the people
of the middle and western states-the
majority of them, at least-knew not
of the cranberry. The growers under

Slowly the demand increased until the
market recovered Cranberries have

they have seldom if ever dropped as low

in the United Kingdom were visited
with like results. Cranberry literature,

cooking the berries in variety of ways,
was distributed broadcast and dealers
were supplied with bags ON which were

To this energetic attack the British

cranberries in Great Britain. Similar

In preparing a cranberry bog for cul.
tivation swamp land along "a salt creek
is selected. Tho black top soil is re.

moved and clean sand spread over the
surface to the depth of six inches or
more. The vines are planted in the
sand. 1t is necessary that the bog
should be submerged several times q
year, so dams and sluice gates some
times have to be built. Unlike other
fruit vines, the cranberry needs no fer
tilization, and once properly started a
bog requires little care.
The picking begins late in August
and sometimes continues into Novem-
Der. Down on Cape Cod the cranberry
season is the liveliest part of the year.
From the villages aud farms all through
Barnstable county the boys and girls
flock TO the bogs and work all through
the golden September and October days

grasp the opportunity to make a few
extra dollars. Jimmy hopes to get bi.
cycle out of the seasons work, his big
sister expects to pick a new dress off the
vines, while pa and ma mean to earn
enough to pay the expenses of holiday
trip to Boston, where they will visit
Brother John and his folks.
But there are hundreds Of acres of
cranberry bogs and not great many
folks on Cape Cod, so the natives can
not do all the work Some Of the big
growers bring French Canadians from
the mill towns, others hire Portuguese
from New Haven, and not a few Mic.
mac Indians swell the ranks of the
pickers
The bogs are divided off into sections
by lines tied TO stakes These sections
are called alleys and from two to three
pickers are assigned to an alley. This is
so that the picScrs may have a definite
territory to work in and thus pick the
vines clean 1t is back breaking work
for a beginner and hard on the fingers
AS the vines lie almost fiat on the
ground the pickers must get down on
their hands and knees, and in this po-
sition they work for hours at time.
The wages paid pickers vary with the
size of the crop and the number Of pick
ers available, but the average is about
90 cents Il bushcl. At this scale pickers
can make from 81 to 50 a day, and
some expert pickcrs can make even
more. At this time of the year the
marshes are fairly dry, and it is pleas.

On the Jersey bOgs down around
Toms River great many Italians and
tramps are employed during the picking
season as we'll as hundreds Of natives Of
the "pine belt" The Italians live in
barns or build for themselves pictur-
esque shanties Of brush. The New Jer-

there. How is it, then, you are proba-

sale? That is one of the tricks of the
trade
The Cape Cod cranberries grow on
vines which have comparatively few
leaves and when ripe are rich, dark
red. The New Jersey bogs are richer
and the cranberry vines there have a
much heavier foliage so that the sun
does not get chance to color the fruit,
but the New England product will not

Beauty and Comfort Considered In the

New Fashions For Boys.

clation.l
Children have never been dressed pret-
tier or more sensibly than they are now
and in this country. In England the ma
jority of parents still believe in the short
sleeves and the bare legs and think that
exposure tends to make the little ones
hardy. In Germany and nearly all the
rest of Europe the garments for children
are cumbersome and thick and made more
for lasting qualities than for daintiness or
style. In France the children are rugged
out like so many silly little dolls. The
children of Italy and the Levant, poor lit
tie things, are made to look most ridicu-
lous in their curiously contrivcd garments.
1t has remained, then, for American
mothers TO lead in dressing their children

or and more appealing to all woman S
instincts of motherhood. Soft woods and
fine laces, dainty cmbrolderies and ribbons
as blue as the wondering eyes or as pink
as the rosebud lips, belong by right to the
little one. Filmy and sheer lawns and
swans down as soft as snow go to make
their garments. Nothing is quite dainty
and delicate enough for the tender little
being. There are soft little lambs wool
| flannels with long sleeves and arranged so
that no buttons can press into the tender
flesh
The barrie coats now are made with
firmly laid plaits which form a self band
and thus do away with the hard, unyield-
ing, double cotton band formerly seen, and
after the first few weeks the flannel band
that has been worn around the body is dis
carded. The way babies were swathed and
bound up until their little bodies were as
stiff and tight as II mummy is enough to
make one wonder that there ever was a
generation of babies that reached maturi-
| ty. The long flannel petticoat now has a
rather short wasted band, with broad
straps across the shoulders. / know one
