Berries Plentiful

Blue berries are plentiful this sea son. Farmers report the berry crop is extremely heavy. However. the berries are going to waste, due to lack of pickers. In past years there were large numbers of berry pickers, but this year the number is much smaller. The main reason is so many women are now engaged in defense work and have little time to do any berrying.
 The number of children picking berries this year is far smaller thar in past years. one reason being that many of the boys and girls have accepted various forms oi employment during the summer months while others who in pas. years would pick berries and sell them house to house, this year havf money and are not bothering t pick berries.
