In order to make use of this feature, a V-shaped "plow" must be made, to be attached to the leading end of the boom. This may consist of two 36 inch long, 1 inch by 6 inch boafds assembled to form a "V" that will float with the boards on edge in the water. In use, the leading end of the boom will be inside the "V" and as the "V" is drawn along the edge of the water, the berries will be swept out of the grass and along the boom. In order to keep the net from riding out of the water too easily in passing over the grass and weeds near the shore, the first 25 feet of net should be weighed down with lead weights, a length of 5/16 inch or heavier cable or chain. TRANSPORT REEL FOR BOOM The inflatable boom may be transported when deflated, by folding it back and forth in a pickup truck. However, this may result in crisscrossing of the net and tubing, which will make proper deployment difficult. More satisfactory transport, deployment and reloading of the boom will be achieved if a reel is used for this purpose (Fig. 2). The reel may be a simple, hand operated one or it may be a powered winch. One hundred feet of boom will occupy about 1% cubic feet of space on the reel when completely deflated. A reel, 3 feet
