BERRIES ALWAYS I'M DEMAND
Price Makes it One Of the Best Fruits
TO Plant, But It Is Very Hard
to Harvest,

The blackberry crop is in demand
at four cents a pound. This price
makes it one of the very best fruits
to plant. If one can get four cents for
this berry and has soil adapted for it,
he will do well to plant all he can
handle, but he should be careful not
to make mistake, for it is a tedi-
ous fruit to harvest, yet it is largely
profit where the grower can harvest
1t with the help of his family. An
other mistake made by many is in
planting the blackberry in rich, moist
valley soils. The blackberry, to do
best, wants a moderately rich upland
soil, deep and loose, with most thor
ough culture and not too many canes
to a hill. It responds finely to irriga-
ton, yet on deep, loose, sandy loans
it gives a most satisfactory crop. with
thorough culture alone. The dewberry
is giving, those who planted it great

CORN ON DRY FARM
Campbell Scientific Methods
Prove Successful in West
ern Country.
Fields Side by Side with Those Titled
by Old Methods Show Its Value
Hard Work and Intelligence
Are Necessary

The Campbell dry farming methods
applied to corn have proved a sue
cess in the semi-arid sections of the
west. Applied to wheat, they have
proved for years that they were cor
rect in principle, but farmers were
slow to apply them to corn.
There is nearly always more than
sufficient rainfall in some parts, but
the great problem has been to keep
it in the soil until the crops are made.
The Campbell method is designed to
do this, and the results that have fol-
lowed its application were made evil
dent to traveller who drove through
this section this week.
Many times there were fields side
by side with like soil, as favorably
situated as to drainage, and without
any difference so far as the opportun-
ity for a good yield was concerned,
which differed so much and presented
such contrast that one could not
fail to see at a glance the different
class of farming which had been done
by the two types of farmers. While

Tho Rabbit Pest.

Rabbits are the greatest pest that
the Australian pastoralist has to con-
tend with. If these rodents are at all
numerous on a station property they
do enormous damage to grass.
In summer, when any water that
might have been lying about has been
dried up by the evaporation and the
grass has become dry, rabbits swarm
toward the tanks. dams or other wa.
ter holes that have been sunk.
Every evening, after the cattle have
taken their last drink, strip of wire
netting is run around the tank or
dam. Outside this netting fence holes
are dug in the ground and filled with
poisoned water and these in turn are
fnclosed by another strand Of netting.

of the ground, being sheep proof, but

to get under.
The rabbits make for the dam. but
their way is barred, they drink at the

trous effect. In the morning there
are to be seen hundreds and thou

the country.

NEVADA EXPERIMENT STATION
Considerable Progress Made In Dis.
covering Crops and Methods Best
Adapted to Conditions.

Through the construction of large
storage reservoirs and irrigation
works the United States reclamation
service is preparing for agricultural
usefulness large areas of land in the
arid region of the west. AS these
lands are largely taken up by settlers
from the older states farther east who
know little or nothing about the diff
culties they will have to meet, the
reclamation service some time ago
called on, the United States depart
ment of agriculture to establish exper-
iment farms to assist in working out
the problems involved in these new
conditions. A number of such farms
have been established and it appears
that the results of this experimental
work will be of great value.
One of these irrigation schemes,
known as the Truckee-Carson project,
is located in western Nevada and COW
ers 100000 acres of irrigable land
Alfalfa, cereals and many vegetables
and fruits can be successfully grown.
But the peculiarities of the desert
soils and especially their lack of or
ganic matter, make farming on these
soils difficult task for the inexperi-
enced settler.
The Truckee-Carson experiment
farm was established on tract of des-
ert land near Fallon, New, in the fall
of 1906, the United States department
OF agriculture and the Nevada expert
ment station being co-operators in it's
management. Experiments in crop
growing were begun in 1907 and the
operations have been greatly enlarged
since. Considerable progress has been
made in discovering the crops and
methods best adapted to the condi-
tons. However, the experimental
work on this project has only fairly
begun and it will take several years
to fully determine the field and gar
den crops and the fruits which can be
most profitably cultivated and the best
methods of soil management.

baskets he hauls away and also sees
that the pickers' account of picked
grapes agrees with his figures as he
hauls the filled baskets to the storage
house. Both the picker's and his own
account are given each day to the
owner or manager of the vineyard and

The grapes remain in the storage

are covered, hauled to the station and

however, they are inspected and pro-

weather is warm the cars are iced

is loaded with baskets 10 to IL high,
thus making 5000 to $500 baskets to
the load. In inspecting a load of
grapes, the inspector endeavors to ex-
anime some baskets of each picker,
and if her work is sighted or improp-
erly done, her number leads to detec-
ton and she has to correct the fault

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Burr clover has many advantages
as winter cover crop.
A great many people are finding it
mighty good idea to keep their land
busy
When you are ahead of your work
1T isn't such hard matter to keep
there; then there is time for other
things.
It has been recommended that the
traffic in horned toads be stopped, the
reason being their usefulness in de-
stroying insects.
Improved seed is essential for great
er crop results, but preparation of the
soil and cultivation of it is the basis
of all agricultural progress.
Hay which contains as much as pos
9sible of the qualities of fresh grass
is ideal hay. The curing determines
this, and much attention should be
paid to it.
The chief functions Of humus in the
soil are to increase the water-holding
capacity, improve the physical condi-
ton of soils and form store house
