OUTCAST ELDERBERRY

PONTIAC, Mich, Sept. 10.---Prohibition
has created new farm crop for Michi-

garded as pest on Michigan farms
because of its habit of growing tnickly
in fence rows, has come into it's own
The purchasers do not pretend they have
suddenly discovered its value for pies,
but openly announce they desire 1t for
wine making.
whereas In former years the Michigan
elderberries rotted by thousands OF
bushels ungathered, this year they COM
manded as high as SO bushel, stems
and ali--and the elderberry is prolific OF
stems.
The easo with which they are
gathered, hushel requiring only ten
minutes to pick, and the luxuriance with
which they thrive In poor soil and un-
tended. have recommended the berries
to many farmers. who are considering
planting the bushes in all the hooks and
corners of their property.
Berry hunters from the nearby cities
have invaded every outlying section of
the State this autumn and carried In the
fruit. Many farmers have taken truck
loads of berries to the Detroit markets

63 JOIN CLASS THIS YEAR

Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD
ANNAPOLIS, Sept. lot is the gen.
eral opinion at the Naval Academy that
the law providing for the appointment
OF hundred members of the enlisted
force OF the navy and marine corps as
midshipment each year has failed to
accomplish its purpose, which was to
attract ambitious youths to enter the
acad emy from these branches and to
rise to the highest rank.
Not only is II true that tho Naval
Academy has never received the maxi
mum number in this way. but 1t is
evident that few are of the kind ex-
pected; that Is. young men who have
served In the eil!sted ranks and who
form desire to become commissioned
officers. The fact Is that nearly all OF
those who enter this way are youths
who are unable to obtain appointments
in the usual way, and who enter the
service only with the desire of getting
over it as soon as possible and bccom-
ing midshipmen.
