/ have lived and worked among farm
ers. | have had some experience in
agriculture, have had my reverses,
have made failures and have made my
record of mismanagement the same
as others have done; but my eyes
have been open, and in looking back
| find that those farmers who stuck
to the farm, who read and studied
their business and who aspired to
make farming a success and delight
have, as a rule, won wealth, honor
and leisure. | see the wives of such
farmers we'll dressed and intelligent,
able to take an occasional trip to the
city and to take in most of the big
events of the nation. | see the child
rem of such farmers growing up strong
and healthy. They have attended
good schools, have taken some school
work away from home, and are an
honor to the farm and the nation.
But farming means study as we'll as
work. and while the man who does
not study may hold his job he can
not advance. AS one who has seen a
little of the world, let me say to the
young farmers: If you are in favor OF
advanced farming, if you have high
ideal, if you can look ahead, il you
want to make farming success, and
have an ambition to get all there is
in it, stay by the farm But if you
can not or will not study, if you have

for his fruit that certain sections OF
the eastern part of the state are assur-

slight study of conditions will show
that there are other special lines OF
fruit growing that offer just as good
inducements for us here, notably in
the growing of the red raspberry on
our rich valley soils.
Some ten or twelve years ago the
Canadian government issued a bulle-
tin, a copy of which was sent to the
writer, in regard to the growing OF
the red raspberry and shipping same
in the pulp form, for the supplying OF
the British jam factories. The Eng
lish raspberry jam is an article OF
export to all countries wherever an
English ship goes, and they go every
where; and it's manufacture is only
limited by the supply of the raw mater
ial They import the raspberry pulp
largely from Australia, and also to
some extent from this continent. The
fresh fruit is simply steriliZed by heat
and sealed in large tin packages, and
reach the factories in perfect condition
for their use.
There is no reason at all why the
Skagit valley should not load dozen
ships each season at Anacortes with
this product and the same land now

The Orchard Craze VS.. the Culture of
Raspberries
(J. f. Cass, Skagit Co.)

VI. II. SdSo, ohdSib wv
We are living in an orchard plant
ing era again. Every newspaper on
Puget Sound, from the Post-Intel-
ligencer down, is at it, advising the
putting out of orchards as the thing
to do to ensure a competence; and
people are becoming impressed with
the idea that lands good for nothing
else would return large income if
set out to some kind of fruit bearing
tree.
Twelve or fifteen years ago we, in
Western Washington, passed through
a somewhat similar period of what
might be called the orchard planting
craze" All kinds of soils were plant
ed to orchards, and of all kinds of
all the different fruit trees common to
our climate. And the poor farmer was
deluged with all kinds of advice, from
all the newspaper writer's as to all
matters relating to the horticultural
art. And then, as now, such advice
came generally from those who had
no real (praculcaD knowledge of the
.ubject at all.
Of course, we all like to have the
values of our farming lands and the
prosperity of our region in general
boosted more or less, but there will be
l. great deal of disappointment left as
The aftermath. And there is no real
lasting advantage at all in Disgusting
the fact, well established, that the
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-02-01

given over to the growing of oats, Civ
ing a return of $50 per acre, should
return $500 to $500 per acre planted
to the red raspberry. The land of
this valley is the best in the world
for producing this fruit, and our soils
are superior to those of any other To-
cation in the state. And we on Puget
Sound grow the finest red raspberry
that is produced anywhere, wide such
authority as the Pacific Coast Syrup
Co., of Seattle).
Our shipping facilities here certainly
are not inferior to those of any other
section, and the fruit could be deliver
ed from the network of navigable
waters of the Skagit delta to a can
merry at a central point, such as Ana
section is also settled by the thrifty
Scandinavian element, with large fam
lilies usually, they being not given to
the crime of race suicide, which would
solve the question of pickers for har-
vesting the crop. Moreover, this fruit
is the crop of all others adapted for
cultivation by the small land holder,
who could grow his few acres and
without money outlay at all, except it
might be a slight expense for addi-
tional help in picking time.
And as regards markets for this
fruit, there is one already at our very
doors. Our own jam factories are in
the market all the time for the con-
tract of thousands of crates per an
num- And their business only fails to

home for your wife and children, then
YOU are only fit to work under some
other mans directions and wear his
collar. If you stay by the farm try TO
make something of it and something
of yourself. Then you will be work
ing for a good institution and for a
good man. 1t is up to you what kind
of business farming shall be and for
what kind of man you will labor.
But let me entreat you: Before you
abandon the farm to work for other
people, think whether you have given
the farm a chance. Have you been
lust to the farm or yourself? Have
you been up TO date in your methods?
Have you taken the same interest in
building up a business for yourself
that you will be expected to take in
building up a business for others?
And one more question: After work
ing for years to build up business
for others, what will you have to show
for it? While you are answering
these questions l will publish and de-
fend this statement: Agriculture

pations. To the thoughtful, the stud
ious, the energetic and the ambitious

increase to an almost unlimited extent
because of a want of supply OF the
fruit.
There is a method of shipping this
fruit to the factories in barrels, with
out sterilizing, by means Of simple
sulphurizing process, the sulphur
fumes being driven off in the cooking
of the fruit. This saves the cost of
crates and expressage, the fruit ship
ped as ordinary freight. Much that
goes across the ocean goes in this
form, the fruit being sterilized, how
ever.
