THE STRAWBERRY RASPBERRY.

Walter Paddock of the Colorado
Agricultural college tells of the
value and productiveness of the
Strawberry Raspberry, so that fruit
growers may know what TO expect
from this novelty. He writes:
when the fruitgrowers are not
imposed upon by the people who have
blight cures or dandelion eXtermina-
tors to sell, there is sure to be the
agent who has horticultural nov
city. These novelties are of divers
kinds. but invariably the glowing de-
scriptions would lead one to expect
that their introduction would revo-
lutionize the industry. Last spring
the Strawberry Raspberry was offer
cd in several sections of Colorado,
and number of sales were made.
This berry was represented as being
one of Luther Burbank's creations.
a production of great merit, price $50
for enough plants to plant an acre Of
land.
But the facts in the case are that
the Strawberry Raspberry is not one
of Burbank's productions; 1t is not
new; it is not valuable for its fruit:
and instead of being a cross between
the strawberry and the raspberry, it
is distinct species. This species has
been grown in America in a limited
way for a great many years, and was
reintroduced from Japan, where it is
native, about twenty years ago. 1t
was quite widely disseminated few
years later, but it has never develop
ed any commercial Importance.
1.-The plants are attractive in an
ornamental way as they make dense
mass of foliage, and flowers are pro-
duced through a long period. The
berries are large. red in color, and
quite apt to crumble. and they are
dry. seedy, and insipid.
1.-THE plants are unusually unpro-
ductive, their fruit-bearing habit re-
sembling the wild, thimble berry OF
the foothills. and as commercial
sort they have been no more profit
able.
at is usually the safest plan to
test novelties in a small way at first
In Colorado in particular, except fol
local market, the trade demands
large quantities of well-known, stable
kinds. All these varieties will nc
doubt be displaced by better ones
but such things take place slowly

PURE FOOD
NO JOKING

Very recently enc of Colorado's
pure food inspectors, w. l.. Walker,
was in this city. and he made one
of the most thorough examinations
that could be made of the grocery
stores. ice cream parlors. hotels and
many other places, TO see If any 1000
was being sold that was not pure,
and if all the food contained the
proper labels.
A prominent grocer gives the FOL
lowing account of the manner in
which the Colorado pure food laws
are being enforced, and it shows that
the people are more greatly protect
ed than they had any anticipation
of being:
''The inspectors from the state are
continually going the rounds of the
grocery stores, the ice cream parlors
and drug stores, and before they fin
ish with their work everything in
the place has been thoroughly exam
ined.
''The inspectors act like the bank
examiners. They come into ones
place without any previous notice,
show their credentials, and then take
off their coats and go to work. Anc
their task is no idle snap. because
they look over every brand on the
shelves. and those that they are not
ldullldT Will are oDCiitu anu thS-i
contents examined, chemically, if nee
essary. One inspector is stationed
= in the neighborhood of Grand June
(tion and he has examined several
stores as many as three times since
the beginning of the year.
1.-The Colorado pure food law cor
responds with the national law, and
since it was inaugurated the first OF
the year all Colorado foods sold in
cans, or boxes, have been labeled on
the outside, the labels distinctly stat
ing what the contents of each pack
age are. Where before jellies were
sold as pure fruit products, they are
today placed on sale with the title
of Imitation, the label also stating
the various proportions of sugars and
fats that are contained in the mix
tures.''
Federal inspectors are also inves-
tigating conditions, and compelling
the enforcement of the law on all in
terstate products. The western
headquarters for the federal pure
food commission is at Albuquerque
N. NJ.
