Until recently such work was never undertaken in a systematic way. Today, however, jatient workers are striving, to only to improve culti- vated varieties, but to make more of the wild plants serviceable to mankind. Acceording to a writer in The Fore- cast, 'one of the latest tc win 4 notable victory is Miss Elizabeth C. White, of New Jersey, who has, with teh help of her father and the Department oi Agriculture, succeeded in taming, cuti- vating and improving the wild huckle- berry of the marshes until she has pro- duced a beautiful, deliciously flavoured berry five-eights of an inch in diamete: as large as a grape. While the berries have been increasing in size under cul- tivation, they have also increased in flavour and sweetness, and have chang- ed their name to "blueberry". This, Miss White explains, is to prevent them from being confused with the in- ferior upland huckleberries which have large seeds. Miss White is the second of her family to tame one of New Jersey's wild plant children. Her grandfather was the founder of "Whitesbog," who early in the last century bought a large tract of the almost useless pine barrens and began to cultivate thereon the wild cranberry of the region, with a view to improving them and making them commercially profitable cn a large scale. "When he did so, the people of the cauntryside, a silent, in- dependent folk known as 'pineys" were furious. They trampled down his fences and made a point of picking his private berries first. In time they be- came wililng paid pickers of tame cranberries at Whitesbog. Indeed it was partly for their sake that Miss White and her father undertook the cultivation of huckleberries. The cranberry-picking season is not a very long one, and she felt that if she could grow an additional crop of another variety on the pine barrens, the pick- ers would have work for a longer sea- son each year. Co-operation with the Government is not the whole story, however, of Miss White's patient work in evolving culti- vated blueberries. principal theme deals with her own efforts to secure the best of the wild bushes growing around them learn their life habits and the condtions under which they would thrive, and then raise generation after generation of them, practicing all the time "artificial selection" so that every bush 'would hear larger and finer > 43 lg . berries than its parent bush. Her first decision was to enlist in the cause the very people who had at first fought the cultivation of cran- berries--the pineys. They were accus- tomed to range the State for miles in every direction, picking wild huckle- berries, and they knew their way around in the apparently trackless swamps. So she succeeded in interest- ing several o f the pineys and persuad- ing them, for a consideration to look out for especially fine bushes found in their picking, and report their location to her.-- Farmers' Sun. » y \ Y evden Livery, Transf r) Exchange Barn Fire Insurance Companies) Represented by Douglas Lane British North-Western Fire Insur- ance Co.
