Huckleberry Crop Is
Sure Money-Maker
Normal Crop Is Being Gathered By
County Residents

Lower Delaware farmers and
their families, within the next FIVE
or six weeks, will realize hundreds
of dollars from a crop which they
have not cultivated.
The huckleberry crop, especially
"blue-bells" are maturing and
many Sussex folk are taking to the
woods to gather them for the mar
kets and for home use.
From reports by the farmers the
crop is normal and already many
crates have been picked and sent to
the city markets where they are
bringing good prices.
Native to the Delmarva PENN
sula and found in a wild state in
almost every locality, "hucks" be-
fore the days of the Colonies serv-
ed as food for the Indians and wild
life. They often have been referred
to as the poor mans crop"
The crop did not come into its
own until about fifty or more years
