From the way the busy house
wives are canning, preserving, max
ing pies, buildings, jelly, jam, this
is blackberry summer instead OF
"blackberry winter That ac-
counts for the reason why Sir John
Barleycorn was Juggling along one
day last week on the hot, dusty
road with a water bucket the size
of bushel measure on each arm.
He had been blackberry picking
and had only pint of little old
dried up berries in each bucket.
Spite of the hot weather, Sir John
is going blackberry picking every
day, especially while the berries
are here. You certainly would
have thought so had you looked in
| to those buckets of his. If you
keep on averaging a quart day,
