N. TO HARVEST Durham, Juiy quarts of blueberries will be taken from Hampshire farmland pastures wooded areas within the ntx; few weeks, estimates Dr. W. W. Krciih, research horticulturist at the University of Xew Hampshire.

Observations made in some of the bjutoerry pastures throughout the state indicate a much larger crop than that harvested in 1936, says the NEW Hampshire horticulturist. The 1936 crop was abnormally small because of.the frost injury to the blossoms in late spring. Many owntrs of blueberry plots will not be able to share in the good crop pjo.vpec:t. this yc-ar, says Dr. Smith, HELP STOMACH DIGEST FOOD Without You'll Eat Everything from Soup to Nuts Tl.o itoinach snoulc!

Many pastures that should carry a heavy load of fruit this season are practically berryless and the plants have lost' all their leaves and look At first glance this trouble might be blamed to winter, injury, Dr. Smith points out, but Mr. J. G. Conkiin, entomologist at the University of New Hampshire, says that these defoliated plants are a result of the caused by the blueberry sparrworm.

The insect on the leaves in May and. destroyed the foliage. Where these weak plants occur, digging under the bushes revealed many empty cocoons of the spanworrn. High yields are associated with good burns, Dr. Smith explains, and a year favorable for good burning is always followed by production in the blueberry pastures.

Many growers each fall spread hay thinly over the pasture to aid in the burning which takes place the following spring. The hay should be spread at the rate of one-half to one ton per acre, and care should be exercised to get the hay spread evenly to insure even b-jrning in the spnng. "There Jt such r.n of hay this season that many farmers well tse some to insure a good burn on blueberry pastjres next spring," says Dr. Smith. "Ret'u'Jar burning- not only liuic- tior.F as a pruning treatment, eliminating the non-productive sterns, find allowing new vigorous thoqts to come up, but helps cqntrol the weed piar.ts and what is probably mere important than we have heretofore realized, it offers one ot the best controls of insec.ts anri ciitcs-ses."

Some authorities say one fire in five is incendiary. One man, deciding he would burn his own establishment and collect some $60.000 insurance, made detailed plans for the conflagration, rehearsinp many times every step except the actual blaze. When everything was ready he left town and crossed the continent from Los Angeles to New York to build up an alibi. From the Pennsylvania Hotel in New York City one night he put in a telephone call his fur store in a downtown Los Angeles building, checked off the on his watch until he was mre the beJl had rung 14 replaced the receiver on the hook and sat down to await results.

The.marker, which is better known to historians as Bound Rock-, has been many times a means of settling boundary line controversies that have arisen between individuals, towns and even colonies, namely New Hampshire ar.cl Mass." use its Bay. Until 1931 the rock was buried in the sand for many years and when located was left unprotected, with the danger threatening that it might again be buried by the shifting st.nd, The mack River, while the charter given John Mason for New Hampshire extended to the Merrimaek River.

The two colonies, therefore, overlapped three miles at this point. Probably the boundary line had not been marked out in 1640, for Salisbury find Hampton soon commenced disputing its position, Hampton claiming a straight line from the river mouth to the upper or south or southeast corner of the Bachelder farm and Salisbury claiming that the line ran to the nearer corner and thence along the boundary of the farm to the Bachelder tree. a Swcrdfish is Fresh Eastern Hadifeist, Mackerel! asid E.stLerfEsh.
