Indications Point 20 Successful Berry
Picking season

That the blueberry crop Ia the yIcin-
ity Of Crystal Falls this sumer will be
a bumper one is indicated by reports
brought TO the city during the last
week or two by experienced berry
pickers. For time Il was feared that
the crop would be scarce. as was the
case last year. bus several Crystal
Falls berry pickers who visited the
woods during the last two weeks bring
encouraging reports into the city.
They claim that the berries have
weathered the inclement weather Of
the last two months in fine shape and
that there ought 20 be quite q large
output this summer.
The severe rains during May and
June did no appreciable damage TO the
crop, and the frosts that followed
came too late TO hurt the berries to any
great extent. When the berries are out
OF blossom and In the green stage, II is
very seldom that they are nipped by
frosts TO such an extent that they are
injured
The season this year will open later
than for many years. owing to the
rainy weather of the last two months.
II will open about the first OF August.
In past years the blueberry season
has commenced as early ss the first
week in July. The season varies, and
the output also varies according to the
state of the early spring weather. Last
year Iron county berry pickers had a
disastrous seasons venture. Thk
year all indications point to much
better crop. and the news will be
pleasing TO many Crystal Falls famil-
les who plan to spend several weeks
in the woods during the picking sea-

Last Saturday afternoon on the
Tobin mine road an accident occurred
in which three occupants OF an auto
mobile narrowly escaped death when
the steering gear OF the car broke,

The car was one owned by Supt.

with him as passengers William

The accident happened near the
Tobin mine boarding house at the
sharp turn in the road neal that
place. Ernest had Just rounded the
curve and was lighting his machine
for the straight road when the steer
ing gear broke and the car. which was
running at pretty good speed left
the road and crashed through a fence
and then brought up against big tree.
Mr.. Lyons was sitting in the front
seat with the driver and the little boy
in the rear seat. The sudden stop OF
the car threw MIR. Lyons through the

John Wall, who was passing the
place at the time Of the accident, took

treatment. While his injuries are quite
painful they are nothing serious.
Outside from bad shaking up and
a few minor cuts from the lying glass

Farmers Loan Association in Iron
County Explained By Our
AgrieuIturist

Progress Of agriculture In the Up
per Peninsula during the last few
years; the present agricultural needs
OF the Upper Peninsula, and the value
OF organization by farmers as means
OF making the desired progress, were
the principal topics OF discussion at
the opening session OF the Upper
Peninsula agricultural conference in
the county building at Marquette Tues
day morning The meeting was attend
ed by about 80 men. among whom were
some OF the most prominent farmers
in the peninsula
Probably the most interesting and
valuable features OF the mornings
session were the addresses by the
agricultural agents OF Iron, Gogebic,
and Dickinson counties, who told OF
the progress that has been made in.
those counties since their employ
ment.
Formed Loan Association
Roy G. Hoopingsrner, Iron county
agent, explained IN detail the system
which was inaugurated in lion county
largely through his efforts, whereby
the poorer farmers who are without
money and who wish to start in the
dairying business may borrow money
enough from the farmers loan asso-
citation to buy COW on the install
ment plan. The Iron county banks
advance the money upon the associa-
tion's guarantee. This system, Mr..
Hoopingarner told. has resulted in the
buying OF So animals, OF which many
were pure bred stock.
Mr. Hooplngarner also stoutly de-
clared himself 10 be opposed 10 the
ieda that farmers alone must be dealt
with in trying, to advance agricul-
ture. "we Should seek TO interest
