Fîck ing Berrnes 'Way Down East B-erry-picking was flot looked upon ï,a -a task by nmy brothers aènt me, Who from .june to Octo- ber scourAe the Friend's Corner fields andi pastures for bernies. ln June, we gathered wild straiwberries, neyer plentiful in our seaboard necighborhoodi. Be- cause Fathér disLouragged u,.s from group-picking lest we tramfpie the nieadow grass, each of us eought out the bernies alone un- e&rï the termns of an agreement titat dlivided aur farmi. Otis' ter- ritory was 'the pasture; Beni's, the qeio cross the brook; and -.ine th-e fieldis around the far- -Picking the small red bernies in the fragÏ1,rt grass was a happy pastime. The warm Sun, the fresh off-shore breeze, and the singing of the sparrows that nesteti in the bushes aidded to our pleasure. 'Htlling tlhe bernies, was:what Mother called "a mean ehore" but- it was one that she cheerfuily assumed because she iked to serve us shorteake and strawberries and cream. In July, .we picked blueberLies, which, during the years of rmy ehildhoo.cd, grewz nearly every- where at Frienid's Corner. In the pastures, along the roadsides, in the meadow margins,- and in woodiand clearing.s were the iow bushes laden with barrie-s. But there were neyer too many ber- ries for the familles of the nEigh- borhood where muffins, fiap- jacksjacks, cakes, and pies fea- tureti blueberries every day. My brothers and 1 had a good deal of rivalr'y as to which one càf us could pick the most blue- bernies. Each of us worked out a dîfferent system of picking. Otis found a good patch, knelt beside it, and picked methodicai- Iy untîl every berry was goee Ben's system was to bend ever a cluniŽ and snatch only the )âargest clusters, I ran from .knioli to knoli seeking the bushes that had the largcst bernies, [tws usuaiiy Otis who broughit home buhe fullest pail and tie one with the f ewest green ones in it. But Ben brought home more Ihan bernies because hie always oombined coolleting wlth berry- Àng,. Spruce gum, sheils, drif t- wood, and colored rocks were pffly a few of the prizes that he bound wbile lu the berry Patch. Father enjoyed picking blue- beiries and after a busy day at th egranite, yard he found lesi 1n a twîligât visit to the pasture, where we children joined him in pickîng5ý the dew-wet beiries and !dstening Vto Fa 'whip-poor-wil which called frnym a stump at Qhe pastur-e's-, edge. August was the monthi to gather raspberries, which grew lu the cut-dow.n in the woodiot. Mothier was unwilling V o have uis children go there alone. If the work- was not too presýsing at the ya.rd, Father took a day off and bec aine the "berry- capta in" cof a relexpedition into the woods. A.nnie, Ethel, MN'other, ail the ehidren of the neighborhood, aind severai dogs made up the ecaravan, which went weîT equip- ped with lunch baskets and ipty pails. We followed the road over whic'h in wlnter Our snIpplycf wood was hauiled. it "vent through our famniliar gi-ove, erosseýd the swamp where we spped to cool our feet in -the thickr damnp moss, cut through a birch growth, and led us tlo ý 0learing, where, through the years, Father and Uncle had cut DRIVE WITH CARE 1 their firewo>od. A.fter the 41Ue hiad beau cut, naspberry canes camae up Vh-,rough the siash and on the third summer vwera cev- ereti with breries. which like so miany reti thimbles, were ready te fail intc oui- pails, writes Es- ther E.

But by laVe aftierneon, even the lunch baskets had been filled so that the pickers went homne wýith the happy expectatien of having naspberry pie rnext day and canneti raspberries uext win- er. "Noething like raspberry sauce anti bot biscu7i.jts when the wind blows ceit," Father al1ways rinmainketi. There wcrc blackbernies o ho harvesteti in Septemnbar.
