The editor feels himself deeply
grateful to the many friends and

a newspaper cannot please all the
people all the time, although we are
constantly striving so to do, and
have the satisfaction of knowing
that whatever else we may fail to
accomplish, the Journal is always
clean and the young people are
among our most constant and salts

There are some new things under

where the governments experiments
are now making, blueberries as large
as the Concord grape, not dissimilar
In appearance and Of a flavor greatly
superior to the specimen which grows
wild in our New England fields, are
now ripening in considerable quanti-
ties, says Boston Herald. Frederick
V. Coville believes that the acid soils
of New England, admirably adapted
to blueberry culture, will yet yield
crop of extraordinary commercial, as
well as dieting value. Our own state
experiment station last year sent an
expert to investigate the work in New
Jersey. He saw in it so much of prom
tse for the poorer lands of Massachu-
sets that he promptly arranged with
Mr.. Coville for the institution of
similar experiment at East Wareham,
where in the coming summer the work
will be undertaken. This is study
to which Mr.. Coville has been giving
years of research, with results that
seem likely in few more seasons
to prove sensationally important. The
transformation Of the blueberry of the
fields to beautiful fruit of the size
and quality already indicated will
prove an achievement of huge impor-
tance to New England agriculture, be-
sides adding to the resources of the
American table. And the experiment
will have its economic advantages.

stretches of land, at present value

meet the chemical needs of blueberry
culture.
