Yesterday .1 went blackberryiug, but. [ am afraid I got as many scratches as L did blackberries. However, 1 made up for the scratches by having a delicious apple and blackberry pie for dinner. This afternoon 1 went ergot-bunting in our swamp. The only grass I found ergot ou was the cocksfoot seed heads, and then only itt very small quanities. After carefuly picking out. the small black bits ami putting them in a tin, I leave eotne to the conclusion that to be a paying proposition it should cost five shillings an ounce instead of pound. However, when it is needed for sick people in England, 1 should think that nobody should bother about the price they get, because the people of England are paying a great price in order to obtain victory. I should say I have gatlsered about half an ounce.— Paddy (15). Greytown. 14,000 “Empties”! Last week we took bottles and sacks to school for the patriotic funds. We got nearly 200 bottles, and all the schools in Masterton collected 14.000 hot ties altogether. — Jack-in-tlie-Box (9), Waingawa. Disappointing. We have fourteen ducklings and nine chickens. Yesterday we wont mushrooming (after the rain), but. we only found one big toadstool.—Annabella (14), Masterton.
