You see a Number
OF US went Blackberrying
Today
AS a sort of Lark.
We caught An
Early Fairview Car
And rode Until
We saw some Bushes
Along a Hilltop.
So then we Got
on at the Next
Stop.
And walked Back
A Mile
Then we had To
Climb three Fences
And wade a Stream
To get to Them.
And Mrs. Walter Barnes
Just would Bring
A watermelon For
Lunch
Because she Knew
We would Be
Thirsty,
So we all Had
To help Garry
1t, and we Thought
We would Die
Before we Reached
The berry Patch.
There we're Lots
OF berries, Tho
And we began To
Gather Them.
Nov, girls" said Mrs.
Jennie Engle,
Watch out for Snakes
Black Snakes,
And black Berries
Always were Real
Chummy."
This was Most
Unfortunate thing To
Say, for Mrs. Pat Hoge
And Mrs. Charley Hood
Promptly climbed An
Apple Tree
And never Came
Down
Until all was Over.
Goodness, the Sun
Was Hot!
And After
About fifteen Minutes
Mrs. Jack Meredith
Looked down At
A road Gang
Busy on the Car
Track,
And said, 81 Will
Go down There
And make a Speech.
Don't pick Another
Berry; watch Me
And Wait"
And, first Thing
We Knew
She had those Men
Spell-bound. They
Laid down picks And
Shovels and Listened
With open Mouths.
She talked ten Minutes.
And at the Close
They Wept-
Then made as One
Man for our Berry
Patch.
Adam. you never Saw
Anything like 1t!
They'were Pale
With Emotion
And picked like Mad
They filled All
Our Buckets
And their own Lunch
Pals
And their Pockets
And tried to Put
Some in Mrs. Rosters
Hat.
We had the Car
So full When
We got on The
Conductor. invited Us
To wait for the Freight
What, on Earth,
Did she Say
To those Men
Hermione?"
"oh. she made Them
Her speech On
Food Conservation!
By the time She
Finished they Thought
The whole World
Was starving To
Death.
Gracious, honey, It
Was no Stunt
At all for Her
To make them Gather

PURE BRED BULL
ON EVERY FARM
This is Slogan OF State
HoIstein Friesian
Association
COMMITTEE WORKS
TOWARD THIS END
Special to The Evening Journal.

Special to The Evening Journal
NEWARK, Feb. Pa pure bred bull
on every Delaware farm" which has
cattle is the slogan Of a project
launched by the State Holstein-Friesian
Association at the meeting held at the
st Joseph's School. Tuesday, February
Is. President d. o. Hastings appointed
q committee consisting OF John ReY-
nolds Of Townsend; John Alfree, OF
Townsend, and Harry CLARK, OF Kenton,
who, In consultation with the eXeeu-
tive committees Of the farm bureaus
viii draw UP definite plans for the pro-
ject.
On Delaware farms there are a large
number OF pure bred bull calves which
at three to 1--WE months Of age are
worth from seventy-flve to one hundred
dollars. It is also true that there are
lar too many scrub and grade bulls
on Delaware farms most OF which
would weigh from 500 TO 900 pounds
and would be worth eighty 30 ninety
dollars for beef, having practically the
Same value as the pure bred calf
Briefly stated, the plan OF the project
IS that the owner OF the pure bred bull
calf and the owner OF the grade bull
make an even change. The owner OF
the grade bull will take possession Of
the pure bred calf at the time the agree
ment is made, but he VIII also proba-
bly, desire to keep the grade bull six
or eight months until the pure bred
calf comes into service, at which time
the pure bred breeder will be privl-
legged 10 dispose OF him. It will be nee
.essary for the pure bred breeder to
walt six or eight months for his money.
but In the meantime the grade bull is
Increasing in weight. Each party will
be responsible for his animal from the
time the agreement is made
This is a project approved by the Ma
.tlonsl Breeders Association and
has met with marked success In the
Western Siates in which 1t has been
taken up. It is a far-slghted project
aimed at the improvement Of the dairy
Industry in the State. The project will
DE a long step towards the ultimate
aspiration Of the farmers of the state,
namely that Of developing Delaware
into a center famous for well-bred cat
tie which when accomplished will be
q signal financial asset TO every farmer
