In the neighborhOod, outside help fire.
Quently must be secured. Some fam
lilies who pick berries have camping
outfits and travel from one district to
another as the season advances. These
laborers usually are efficient, but not
always dependable. Many pickers stop
work after the height of the season, or
as soon as the best Of the picking is
over. In some districts a premium of
q fraction Of cent a quart is offered
pickers who stay until the end Of the
harvesting season.
Proper supervision Of the picking
force is especially important on ac-
count of the class Of labor ordinarily
used and the ease with which berries
are damaged. Usually "row boss" or
foreman Is placed in charge Of a group
Of pickers. He sees that rows are as
signed to the pickers and that no ripe
berries are left unpicked, that the
number of green or otherwise defective
berries placed in the boxes is held to
the minimum, and that the pickers do
not damage the vines or bushes.
Special carriers to hold baskets
while picking can easily be obtained.
One method Is to take an ordinary
quart basket and tie II about the
waist, setting other baskets In 1t; but
the best carriers are made to swing
from the shoulder and hold two bas-
kets side by side.
For carrying berries to the packing
shed, tray holding six baskets is con-
venient. The tray is carried by q wire
handle. The picker ordinarily should
not be permitted to carry more than
one tray from the shed. and should be
required to set It In the shade until full.
This will insure against berries being
too much wilted or sunburned.
Keeping an account with the pick
ing help Is troublesome, unless a sim
pie system is employed. Many grow
ers get checks the shape of shipping
tags and printed with numbers repre-
senting either the number of boxes or
the amount to be paid, and punch out
the figures as the quarts are brought
In. Others issue card tickets for each
quart or tray filed. and these often are
taken in trade at local stores, making
II easier for the grower to finance his
harvesting.
The berry harvest is Of comparative
ly short duration and involves long
hours and hard work on the part Of
the grower, and every effort at careful
supervision will show Its effect when
the final checks come In.

THORPE'S TIGERS
HERE TOMORROW
Benny Boynton May Play
With Local Pros Against
Indians Eleven.

Benny Boynton, All-America quar-
terback at Williams College last
year. and a member OF the Roches-
ter Jefferson professional eleven,
may be here tomorrow to play with
Washington against Jim Thorpe's
Cleveland Tigers at American
League Park. Manager Tim Jor-
dan was waiting for a reply last
night to a telegram to Boynton
relative to playing with the Sena-
tors.
1t is hardly expected that Wash
ington will have more than an even
chance with the visitors. Syracuse
defeated the Tigers early in the
season. and Washington disposed OF
the New Workers. Canton only
scored two touchdowns on the To-
calls. and any team which can hold
them to that number of scores is
considered in the first class.
There is no doubt that Thorpe
eleven is very powerful. With the
trio of Indian stars. in the back
field-Thorpe, Guyon and Calac-the
Tigers trampled on Charlie Brick
ley's New York Giants last Satur-
day at the Polo Grounds by the
count of II to o.
Van Meter, big tackle from Ne
braska University, who has been
incapacitated for several weeks,
will probably get back in the game
again. He has been supplanted by
Litkus, who has put up a mighty
fine brand of playing in every
game.
Washington will probably line up
as follows: Patterson, |. e.; Smeach,
!. t.; Macdonald, l. G.; Crouch, CEN
ten; Gormley, r. g.; Litkus or Van
Meter, r. l.: Mccarthy, T. e.; wal
son, q. b.; Leighty, !. h. b.: Bleir,
r. h. b., and Sullivan, (. b. The
Tigers will probably use these men
to start: Whalen, ]. e.; Lowe. !. t.;
Murphy, !. g.: Brawley, center; Con-
nor. r. G.; Bonjan. r. t; Cochoran
r. e.: Bower. q. b.; Guyon, !. h. b.

we expect to give the Southern team

opponents have received this season.

Southerns. who have played splendid

way to break in on some schedules
Is to chase out all your good foot
ball players. This intersectional
repartee seems to be growing
keener every passing day.
Many are called-but out of the
mass,
Only a few can handle the pass.
Golf consists of only two simple
details. Learning how not to get
into a bunker and. when you do,
learning how to get out. By mas
tering these two amiable points the
rest of IT is ridiculously simple.
One of the seasons records be-

here is for being the most under

less credit for its achievement than
any other. II you think any weak
