ESTABLISHED 1857 Michigan Notes (Continued from Page 11) ers go to the Traverse City Sec- tion where they work in the cher- ries, but some of them go to the blueberry fields, as working- on the ground is some easier than climb- ing ladders to pick cherries. Since there is a decided shortage of cherries (this being one of our hardest hit crops) and other crops have suffered heavily, and the prospects are that there will be more labor available this year than last, there should be no difficulty in securing labor to pick the light crop that we expect in Michigan this year. There have been heavy rains throughout Michigan for the last ten days and some of the growers are having a battle with grass in the fields. Some of the blueberry planta- tions in Michigan are planted on soils that undulate, and were not levelled off before being planted. This is a disadvantage in many ways, one being that the wet places are too wet and the dry places too dry, and the effects were that con- siderable heaving of the plants out of the ground occurred on at least one place. This was overcome last winter by throwing a furrow of dirt to the plants late in the summer, and plowing a furrow in the middle so that the excess water would run away from the plants in the row. For plantations on thij type of ground the above practice is recommended.
