Blackberry Collection The Ministry of Food states that owing to the increased demands of the Army and. Navy and the failure of the fruit crop generally it is absolutely necessary to obtain more blackberries for jam. The British Forces consume 1.5 million pounds per day and to this must be added that required for the American Army and the relatively small quantity alloted for the civilian population. The collection is not confined to schoolchildren but contributions at the Government price are received from anybody. Any school in Northamptonshire and Bucks attached to the above centre will purchase at 3d per pound. WILL YOU HELP? |
