The Seasons Crops. ,-..
The farmers in most parts Of Norway
are looking forward to satisfactory
crops this year and if nothing unforeseen
turns up they are likely to get:it. The
fruit crop, however; will be a failure in
the principal districts. Norway is
noted for its abundance of wild berries,
especially blueberries and cranberries.
For years this source of riches has been
left to its own fate, but also in this re-
few years, and now active steps have
been taken by interested parties for the
utilization Of these fruits. Sweden ex-
ports large quantities Of these kinds Of
berries every year.
T. is not only the farmers who, have,
to some extent, got their eyes opened
for the value Of these berries. In the
city many poor people are now taking
trips into the hills around Christiania
