BIackber Crop

It is claimed by some that the
blackberry crop is killed and that
we viii have none of this popular
berry this year. In tile commhn.
ity Of Irrelevant. where they grow
for shipping purposes, the culti-
waited blackberry truckers are cut
ting their plants off at the ground
in the hope that they can thereby
save the roots, which will grow
other plants for next years crop
They think the crop is practically
destroyed so far as this years
yield is concerned. This means a
great loss to the people, for the
blackberry is one of the most pop
ular berries for canning purposes,
andin some communities like Trez-
evant the blackberry is found very
for shipping purposes,
