The United State* Government is
undertaking the job of making the
huckleberry a eivillaed and domestic
crop, and if It succeed* in doing this
H will give to North Carolina a naw
sooreo of income, and tha country
one of tha finest food products that
grows. Already the big blue has be
come famous *s • Sampson county
fruit, but only a* Nature in the
swamps provides tha crop and then
only in the wild condition that swamp
culture provides. But the government
1s carrying on some experiment* of
selection and breeding of blue bar
Hoc and has already produced soma
superior strains that promise to maks
the huckleberry a groat addition to
the fruit resource# of those States
that can make tke berries.
It is announced from Washington
that the blueberries as big as Concord
grapes have been grown from govern
ment stocks and now the department
of agriculture la recommending the
luiiiriuwu vi uic vcrrj in esiao
Hiked plantations jut aa dewberries
are planted and eared for. Experi
ment farm* are carried on by the
government at a point in Now Jersey
and at another place near Washing
ton One of the farms raised lit
bunhsls an term one Mason, which
brought $10 a bushel In Now York,
which is not a bad retorn for an aero
of ground. The plants give a tall
crop and the second year after plant
ing and Increase steadily after that.
Native la North Carolina
Tha blaeberry la astir* la North
Carolina and reaches mighty near
perfection In the swampy regions of
this State. Hu' crop ripens before
the crop come* In the North, so a big
crop of tha right kind of frail, raised
so that It could ha cultivated and bar
▼anted under conditions that would
permit attention, would get the fruit
off at a time whon little competition
from tho later northern berries would
ho expected. The natural place to
plant blue berries ia la the swampy
land that la somewhat acid, and arhere
tha foot fungus la found that Helps
to provide nitrogen for the plant*
somewhat aa nitrogen I* gathered for
tho leguminous plants by tho nodul*
Urn: rrow on the roots. Land of this
character Is abundant la Eastern and
Middle North Carolina, arhlch Indi
cate* that tha lower counties may
poatibly bo making MaAarrias soma
of these day* aa abundantly aa tb*
Sandhills country ia making poaahoa
saw, and wttfc results squally as pro
fitable. Nor nothing on earth best'
the good old blue swamp huckleberry,
and If the government has succeeded
in growing than* barrios as big a*
Concord grapes, sad can show where
to got plant stocks that will produce
the big variety the blueberry out
look ia encou ragtag.
In all the swamp* from tho foot
OI in* ntoniit tills to the coast tts
big bhis huckltberrie* grow in ibia
denes, and this fruit is free so far as
is known from tts ravages of Insect
parte. 'What may happen after the
cultivation of the berry is undertaken
stay be uncertain, bet the plant has
few enemies in the section where it
grows is a promising one to cultivate.
Got Rid ef Wild Growth
The government plan la to clear
suitable land, naturally where It la
amply applied with moisture all the
asaamv, and to cultivate a crop of
something alas before sotting berry
plants, the purpose being to get rid
of wild growth and give the berries
whoa they an set, the best chance to
make the right kind of fruit In using
plants from tbs swamps they an beat
set about sight feet apart each way,
aa they will grew and All the rows as
they brunch out. But it is recommend
ed that rows bs eight feet apart aad
the plants set four feet in the moan,
end later thinned out aa they fin
the spans. Tillage is to be shellow. but
frequent enough to keep down weeds
nnd grass, and by booing and wuodlng
around the pleats so they may hare
full ehance to grew. Fertilisation it
Ml adviced In the ordinary sandy sail
wKh a peaty character, as the harry
to quits able to hustle for Ms living,
and uoada little help.
The governmeat recommends to
the aeon who would plant a Mue ber
ry orchard ar vineyard or whatever
it to to be sailed that be transplant
from the swamps soma of the beet
bushes be can find paying attention
to site and color and flavor of the
fault, and try to brood up n good line
of fruM on Ids own place. Or be can
boy hybrid varieties of boshes from
theao who have already reached the
point whore they am making a busi
ness of raising this crop. The swamp
plants are easy to multiply, either by
cutting, or by dividing tbs shoots of
tho old pleat, or by layering after the
manner Of propagating grape vinos
If a good plant to found In tho
swnmpo Intelligent and careful sub
dl vision will re salt In tfty or a hun
dred new plants, so that it to not hard

The Banker and the Grocer’s Boy
buy the same Gasoline
IF the banker aorfd get better gasoline at any price, he would.
If the grocer's boy could buy more economically, he cer
talnly would.

c°W weather, better power on steep grades or more flexible
and easily controlled power fat congested traffic, he'd go out of
Ws way for It. If some other gasoline would give less carbon
trouble or biggsr mileage, ft would be good judgment to buy ft.
But balanc'd gasoline excels on every test. Its volatility pro
vide* quick starts in cold weather. Its rale and completeness of
combustion develop maximum power with mtntw,—. earbon
to dilute the lubricating oil, smut the spark plugTaudtLrboniae

maximum mileage and economy.
Motor Gasoline is improved, balanced motor fuel

That s why the hanker and the grocer's boy both buy k. It Is
