Large Crop OF Berries.

From the reports of the growers It
is ertain that there is now one of the
largest crops of berries of all kinds
ready to go to market from Sussex
County, of recent years. The straw
berry crop is not only larges, but re-
markably fine in size and flavor. The
late rains have made the crop double
in quantity, and if only a moderate
price is REALIZED. labor will realize lots
of ready cash and the growers will
get a moderate amount for their
share.

Berry Pickers Migrate.


In past season berry piekers have
come to Bridgeville in large num-
bers, and some of them remained dur

growers from points in Maryland and
Virginia have offered attractive pay
for them to go south and meet the
fruit as it ripens, and this has caused
many to be uneasy as to the success
tul gathering of the crop; but the
italian workers will solve the prob
lem all right.

PEARLS IN THE SHEYENNE.

Quite an eccentric character by the
name of Rohm, a pearl fisher, visited
Sheldon yesterday, having walked up
from the Sheyenne river south OF An
Stem. Rohm claims Grand Forks as
his home and during the summer
months plys his trade along the var
ious rivers of the state digging CLAIMS.
This summer he has been working
down the Sheyenne and since August
has followed the rivers course down
from Kathryn in Barnes county. AS
result of his labors he was exhibiting
a double handful of perfectly formed
pearls. He went from here to Kin.
dred, where he says there is a good
clam bed, and will work his way down
to the Red river and up to Grand
Forks, getting there about the time
winter sets it. He carries a complete
camping outfit with him rolled up in
two bundles and stops wherever night
overtakes him. He says he has three
quarts of pearls on hands now, but the
war has affected the market and there
is little sale for them at present.
Ragged and unshaven in his appear
ance, but behind all this there were
traits which showed him to be scien-
fist, and that he has studied CLAIMS
and their formation for the past twen-
ty years. He said clans originate
from blood-suckers. - Sheldon Pro-
