Forest City- This is the season of the year when the huckleberry picker has his innings and at no time even in the memory of the "oldest inhabitant" has the crop been larger or of better quality. On the Wayne county range mountains east of Forest City, the ground is literally blue for miles with the luscious fruit, and almost every day hundreds of pickers are at work. It is safe to estimate that from five hundred to a thousand quarts have been brought from the mountain by way of Forest City every day for a week or more past and yet there is no perceptible lessening of the supply. Loads of people come from miles around "huckleberrying."

Montrose - Wm. Spence, gardener at the summer villa of Mr. J.D. Smillie, boasts of picking three distinct crops of peas from one growth of vines. After the pods that first set had all been picked, a second lot of blossoms appeared and matured in due time. Having gathered this second crop he supposed the usefulness of the vines at an end and would have pulled them up in a few days had he not discovered the appearance of a third series of blossoms. From this latter the third picking is now rapidly maturing. If this state of affairs continues probably William can be seen about the first of next February, shoveling through three or four feet of snow to pick a fourth mess of peas.
