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.

Loads of people come from miles around "huckle-berrying."
