RAsPBERRIEs IN HILLS.
Not q Common Method of Planting,
But q Very Profitable and
Satisfactory One.

A correspondent asks whether any
one has tried raising raspberries in hills
so as to allow cross-cultivatiOn and to
eliminate the necessity Of hand hoeing

cess. although little hard work around
the hills will be necessary If no weeds
or grass are allowed to make seed.
have always used stake at each
hill and tied up the vines for part ofthe
year at least. When first trimmed,
like to tie them up fairly close until
thoroughly cultivated; then loosen the
string and let them spread, but not fall.
This regard as the ideal treatment, but
it makes two tyings Of each hill necessary
Still If such yields could be had as we
used to get from patch Of Kirkland red
raspberries grown in hills between
grapes which were on stakes eight feet
both ways, almost any amount of care
would be justified. have picked three
pints of berries from single hill at q
single picking when the patch was be-
ing picked twice each week, and q
quart per hill per picking was not un-
common from the best parts Of hepatch.
These berries were grown with from
three to six canes let in each hill, and
loosely tied about two and one-half or
three feet from the ground. The tops,
when fruit laden and fully spread, occu-
pied a space of possibly three and one
half feet in diameter. OF course, ber-
ries thus grown can be allowed to at
tain much greater height than when
no support is given.
i" The Kirkland was fairly vigorous
grower, berries Of only medium size,
and soft, but in yield and flavor have
never seen them excelled. With the
introduction Of better shipping berries,
we lost the stock, and have not seen
them advertised for years. should be
glad to learn if anyone still has this va
riety in cultivation.

An English Earl's Opinion.

:. The English, next to the Americans, are
while they as rule insist upon having the
best there is to be obtained, they appreciate
good service and beautiful scenery. The
Earl Of Shaftesbury, having, with his wife,
spent some little time in the United States
during the summer, speaks most enthus-
iastically in regard to what they have seen.
A few days ago he said to gentleman in
Buffalo:
"Our stay in New York was delightful
one, and the picturesque grandeur along the
Hudson and its surroundings was a source
of much joy to us all.
1T has seld ON been my good fortune to
pass the time in such excellent sport as that

APPLES FOR EXPORT.
American Fruit Industry Expanding
In Way That II Giving Gem
eral Salts faction.

In consequence of a poor apple crop
in 1902 and nearly failure this year in
France, large quantities Of American
dried apples are being imported into the
republic. The American apples are be-
ing used for cider making and culinary
purposes. The imports Of chopped ap-
pies for cider in 1902 totaled 3,071 tons,
against 1868 tons in 1901. The imports
of evaporated American apples In 1902
were 241 tons. against 1914 tons in 1901
and 402 tons in 1900. There has been ar
enormous increase the current year, as
the bureau of statistics shows that for
the first eight months of 1908 the i'm
ports Of chopped apples reached the
grand proportions of 5000 tons against
1900 tons in 1901. The imports Of evap-
Grated apples for the same period ag-
gregated 480 tons, as against 1874 tons for
the corresponding dates in 1901. Owing
to the partial failure Of apples in France
this season the American evaporated
apples have found ready sale, being
widely distributed in new foreign mar
kets.
The short apple harvest in France, as
we'll as short grape crop, make green
apples extraordinarily high and wine
also dearer than it has been in many sea-
sons. For this reason large export of
chopped apples and evaporated fruit has
been contracted for by French importers.
All indications warrant a large export
of American fruit to France, particularly
apples. The chopped apples will be made
into cider to supply the deficit In the
wine output Of 1903.
American producers are offered the
opportunity of charging the export OF
chopped apples, and shippers should
take the precaution to see that the fruit
is thoroughly dried before putting into
packages for export. The quality OF
American apples received at Havre has
been good and gave excellent satisfac-
tion to consumers.
The American fruit industry is ex-
panding rapidly as large tracts of land
especially adapted to orcharding are now
being cultivated by a system Of scien-
tiflc irrigation. The United States ex-
GELS all other count1ies in the excellence
of her apples, and with the increased
acreage of orchards is now raising more
than enough of this fruit to supply do
nestle consumption. For several sea-
sons England has been liberal GUS
toner for American apples, and it is to
be regretted that greater efforts have
not been made to export fresh apples
to France. Conditions are particularly
favorable the present season to establish
a reputation for American apples
abroad, and for the advantage of the
future fruit industry producers should
enlarge their exports this season. There
is large crop of choice commercial ap-
pies this year, and If portion OF tho
surplus was exported to France 1t would
contribute largely in establishing sta

STATUE COMMISSION MEETS.

meeting of the commission charged
with arranging for the erection of statue
to Count Won Steuben, the revolutionary
hero, held an adjourned meeting in the Of
fee of the Secretary of War yesterday af-
ternoon. The commission consists of Sec
retary Taft, Senator Wetmore and Repre-
sentative McCreary, with Mr.. Carpenter as
secretary. It is considering the best
method of securing a suitable design for the
statue, whether by direct selection or by
competition, but so far has been unable to
reach satisfactory conclusion.
Sites have been selected for the statues
OF Won Steuben, Pulaski and Kosciosko.
The statue of Pulaski will be erected in the
triangle on Pennsylvania avenue between
18th and 1874 streets, in front of the
National Theater. The contract for the
construction of the statue has been
awarded to Cassimir Chodinski of Chicago.
He has designed an equestrian statue which
was accepted by the commission on the
recommendation of the National Polish So
ciety.
The statues of Won Steuben and Pulaski
are to be located on the northern corners
of Lafayette Park to correspond with the
statues of Lafayette and Rochambeau on
The Pulaski statue will probably occupy
the northwest corner and the Kosciosko
statue the northeast corner. 1t is stated by
Col. Symons, the executive officer. of the
statue commission, that the placing of a
statue at the northeast corner of the park
will not interfere with the magnificent elm

CITY GARDEN PLANS.
Report of Col. Symons on Use of Public
Ground.

Secretary Taft has forwarded to the
chairman of the Senate committee on the
District of Columbia, with his approval
a report made by Col. Symons, Corps of
Engineers, in charge OF public buildings
and grounds. on the proposed amendment
to the District appropriation bill authoriz-
ing the temporary use of certain vacant
public grounds in the District by the City
Garden Associa ton.
Il do rot see,' said Col. Symons, "how
the passage of this amendment can in any
manner be detrimental to the interests OF
the general government There is no
ground under the control of this Office
which | can at present recall, which is
available for the gardening purposes pro-
posed 1t is my understanding that it is
the desire of the City Garden Associa-
ton to get the use of some of the re-
claimed and unimproved Potomac flats for
gardening purposes and it is further under
stood that the Agricultural Department
is willing that the association should have
the whole or part of the flats below Long
bridge, which the department has for some
years been allowed TO use.
ITO obViate any possible conflict the pro-
posed amendment might be made little
more definite as TO who shall decide as
to the availability of ground and the con-
ditionS under which il may be used. /
would therefore suggest that the amend
ment be changed to read as follows:
THAT the officers in charge thereof are
hereby authorized to permit the temporary
use, under the supervision of the City
Garden Association, of such vacant gruond
in their opinion may be available there
for and under such conditions they may
prescribe"
The views expressed by Col Symons were
concurred in by Gen. Mackenzie. chief of
engineers, and the Secretary of War.
