the GROWING OF DEWBERRIES


The average person scarcely knows
what dewberry. is, yet the fact re-
mains that a few are making COM
Portable incomes from small planta-
tions of this fruit.
The dewberry may be likened to
an overgrow blackberry, but it
grows upon trailing vine-like cane.
instead of the upright cane of the
blackberry.
The dewberry is by no means
adapted to all situations and local
tiles. 1t has succeeded best in the
higher attitudes, but in locations
where apples are considered to be a
safe crop. Such surroundings are
found in the Plateau Valley, and it
is here that the growing of this fruit
is becoming a speciality.
While dewberry canes are of trail
ing habit no trellises need be used.
A better plan is to keep the canes
cut back to length of about two
feet. They are thus made to
assume an upright form, and a Wig
orous plant has the appearance of
a thrifty w-growing bush. At the
first pruning the new canes are
timed when they are twelve to
e;ohteen inches in length. Just be-
fore the picking season begins the
canes are pruned second time, and
this consists in cutting back the
,a+erals to length of about two
foot The following spring the
nlants are gone over a third time,
when the old canes are removed and
the vigorous laterals are shortened.
Winter protectson is afforded by
throwing a few shovel1ulls OF earth
over each OF the hills.
When grown in this manner the
plants are commonly planted five
feet apart each way. The cultiva-
ton and irrigation do not differ
from that of raspberries.
The dewberry is very perishable,
therefore extreme care must be ex-
ercised in picking and marketing.
The berries must not be exposed to
the sun after being picked, and
over-ripe fruit will not bear trans
portation. After the berries have
been packed the crates must be
placed in a cool place, where they
may be dried to certain extent by
a. free circulation of air. The car
in which they are shipped must
be thoroughly ventilated. Iced cars
only increase the liability to mold.
A dewberry plantation in good
bearing will yield from three hun
dred to four hundred crates of
berries per acre. The average
price has been 1926 per crate at
the shipping point. Assuming the
cost of production to be s1.25 per
crate, a very high estimate, there
remains profit 81 on each crate,
ar q net return of from $500 to
s4OO per acre. AS has been init
mated, this fruit does not succeed
in all locations, neither would all
men be adapted to the management
of a five-acre plantation. Conse-
ouently there wonld appear to be
small danger of the business ever
being overdone. Particularly is
this true of a crop of such perish
able nature. Dewberry growing,
therefore, offers a certain income to
the few who will choose proper
locations, and who are adapted to

THE EeG-COST QUESTION


perintendent Experiment Station,
Puyallup, carried on an egg-cost
demonstration of which a full report
will be given later.
The records of the month Of
April indicate that the best show
ing for that month was made by
the mottled Anconas. At the sta
ton there are 46 hens and two
males of this breed. During the
month they consumed a total of 81
pounds If feed, which cost $3.50.
Each hen consumed a total of six
and two-tenths pounds of feed at
a cost of 1O3 cents for the month.
Altogether the hens laid ,O1O eggs.
The market price for eggs was %
cents dozen, which makes the
market value of one hens product
for the month 81 cents. These
figures show that the exact feed cost
for one dozen eggs was 6 2-5 cents.
The next best showing was made
by the White Leghorns with feed
cost for one dozen eggs of 7 2-1O
cents.
1t will take a full year to demon
strate which breed produces eggs at
the lowest cost for feed.
Thousands of people have been
asking the question and trying to
figure out what profit there is in
poultry raising. A years demon
stration at the Experiment Station,
Puyallup, has been made in reply,
figuring all the revenue that is pos
sible to obtain from every source
under good poultry management.
Two years ago last spring $50
White Leghorn day-old chicks we're
bought..at cost of s45. These
were developed and matured to be-
gin egg laying in September. Eggs
were sold at the high prevailing
prices of the markets during the
fall and winter months. Early in
spring the fowls were placed in
breeding pens and eggs and day-old
chicks sold at fanciers' prices &C
cording to standard valuations.
Eggs were sold for Matching also
and some cockerels and hens dis
posed of to breeders. At the end
of the year the station turned into
the treasury of the State of Wash
ington over 81, 200 as proceeds from
the $50 chicks. Besides there was
about $500 worth of stock on hand.
The feed and other expenses were
figured at S9OO-to be deducted
from cash receipts, 81, 200 plus stock
on hand ($4OO), total 50, 800, leav-
ing a net sum of 81, 700.
This implies careful attention to
every detail and taking advantage
of the best markets. 1t is an en-
dorsement of the fanciers' term
standard, but combines with it
utility from the egg raiser's stand
point. This demonstration has
done much to create a greater de-
mand for pure-bred poultry to the
mutual benefit of farmers and fam
ciers.
Mr.. Blanchardt states that dur
ing the pullet year is when the
largest margin of profit may be OBJ
tanned from poultry.

TOUCHING UP TUCSON.

James T. Williams. Jr., Is President
of the Tucson Citizen, which is the
biggest and best thing in Arizona,
specially Its Boost and Build" edition,
which was published on September 80,
and which has opened the eyes of every
tender-foot into whose hands 1t has
fallen. 1t Is the largest newspaper
ever issued between Los Angeles and
San Antonio, contains seventy-flv
pages, and Is packed with facts about
the Great Southwest. and particular
ly about Tucson and Arizona. The
work was all done in the office OF the
Citizen by the regular staff and work
Ing force of the paper, and it Is re-
markedly well done. Tucson has a
population all the year round of only
$1,000, and The Citizen would do great
credit to town FIVE times as large.

WHAT THE SENATORIAL RACE
COST.

There Were four candidates for
United States Senator at the recent
primary election In this State-Martin
Swanson, Jones and Glass. Their ex.
pense accounts have been filed as re-
quired by law and show that tho cleo
ton cost them s42,7S2.ll to make the
race. The figures are: Maytin, Slo,-
1856: Swanson, s12e5S54; Jones. So
4s5.oS; Glass, sa.37AsS. There was
doubtless great deal of money spent
for the several candidates of which
they could not keep account, and II is
not at all unlikely that at least $780,
600 was spent on this campaign with
in the party under a system which was
designed, as it was claimed by it's adj
vocates, to give everybody a chance.
Evidently, the primary system is not
what it was cracked up to be.
Mr. Martin will have to work for
nearly a year and half to make
enough out OF his Office to pay the ex-
penses of his election, and Mr. swan
son at the close OF his first years ser
vice in the Senate will be compelled
to go into his second years salary to
the amount of s5,45S54 before he can
square his campaign expenses with his
salary as Senator If Mr.. Jones had
been elected he would at the end Of
his first year in the Senate have been
out s1,as5.oS, and Mr.. Glass would have
been s1,s74ss short of making his
campaign expenses our of the office for
which he strove so valantly. At It is.
