Show ; ' A BERRY PATCH RESORT ' I 1 This is a true story of events which , happened in the days before there was any call for conservation. There is all the more need for making It come true now. A family of five mother, father, two toys and the baby decided to go somewhere for an outing. One morning mor-ning about five they left the house vith a car filled with pails of all sorts and sizes, a wash-tub or two, and the cecessary camping equipment. Father steered the old machine toward a blueberry blue-berry patch which was miles away, and before nightfall thoy set up camp right in the middle of the patch. If you have never done it you can't , Imagine the joy of camping in the nldEt of a blueberry patch. When you d03e your eyes at night, blueberries p large as watermelons hang in giant bunches before your eyes. In the day Jae you feel like a six-year-old who bis suddenly been made general man- , s?er of a candy store. The family picked and picked, won the baby sat on a blanket and wed a tin cup without moving from Waco to place. The family went home Jtn .top wash-tubs full of berries in 9 back seat and the boys riding on lie running board. This is n good time In which to 1 Imitate this thrifty family. No crop of berries is too large or too small to be neglected. A dish of. fresh fruit for breakfast or a pint put up for winter win-ter is worth while. If you haven't time to clean off the few bushes in the pasture lot, let the neighbor's children chil-dren do it- Camping parties are tho best solutions solu-tions for taking care of the huge berry crop which go to wasto yearly in almost al-most every state. Instead of taking a five-hundred mile trip to a summer' resort take it to a berry patch. Black berries, red raspberries, blue berries and several other kinds aro abundant in many localities. Search them out and save them for winter. |
