through the columns Of the press in
rious parts of the state. about every
feature of my method Of treating
raspberries and furthermore a great
many of your readers visit my ranch
yearly when they are caused to fel
quite at liberty to ask any questions
and make any Investigations they
see fit. So that your readers already
have a pretty clear idea of the new
method of harvesting and otherwise
treating the raspberry, and need moth
ing further on the subject.
There is one point. however, upon
which 1 believe the Payette people
usually are not clear and that is as
regards the quality of the berries
treated by the Sherman process"
think everybody stands ready to
vouch for the practicability of har-
vesting raspberries by this process,
viz. by threshing them from the bush
es and are recommending it to their
friends far and wide and everyone
should become equally well informed
in regard to the quality of the Der
ries thus treated.
Now, l have gone on record with
the statement that the berries thus
treated are superior in quality to the
evaporated berries from New York
which as you know boasts OF the fl
nest in the world. If it is true that
we can produce such berries at a cos
of two cents per pound, while it costs
them ten cents, every person who is
interested in the upbuilding of south
ern Idaho should know Of the fact
for it means eventually thousands of
dollars brought in and turned into the
channels of commerce here among
US.
have this season for the first time
placed on exhibition and for sale
some of my raspberries produced by
this method, in each grocery store
in Payette. l will say incidentally,
that this is purely an experiment on
my part and whether 1 continue to
KEEP these goods on sale in this mar
ket will depend entirely upon how
market conditions develop and am
seeking no unusual patronage by call
ing attention to the fact here.
l simply invite you to call at your
grocery and examine these raspber-
ries, purely for the purpose of your
own information so that you may be
