Dear SRI see that Jack Herman
wants to match his Polish champion,
Zbyszko. against Frank Gotch for the
worlds championship and a $4,000 side
bet, and that he has posted a forfeit
of 1000 to cover such a match. In
view of the fact that Gotch has al
ready beaten Zbyszko, Herman might
do well to first turn his attention to a
foreign champion, who is more entitled
TO a match with Gotch than the Pole.
This man is Giovanni Raiscovich, the
Graeco- Roman champion of Europe,
who will sail for this country within a
few days. Raicovich, who is an Italialt
gave Gotch a better fight when he met
him three years & and when he was
wofully handicapped by his ignorance
OF catch-as-catch-can wrestling, thar
did Zbyszko, and since hat time the
Italian has become an adept at this
style of wrestling and in a tour of the
world won every big tournament in
which he entered, including those at
Buenos Ayres. City of Mexico, Rome,
Turin, Italy, London and Paris. My
agent abroad, who was responsible for
both Dorando and st. Yves, the famous
Marathon runners, coming to this
country, has sent word that Ricovich,
beyond a doubt, is the greatest wrest-
Ter in the world at either Graeco-Ro-
man or catch-as-catch-can style. and
will come to America with an unlimited
amoant of backing, therefore Herman
will not r., to wait for Gotch if he
is really sincere when he states tina
he wants to back Zbyszko for $40, 600.

Decrease in Farm Population.

Census statistics for Illinois tell
the same story as for all other states
disproportionate growth of cities,
and an actual decrease in farm popula-
ton in some parts. The total popula-
ton of the state increased BIT, O41, or
1879 per cent. Cook county, in which
Chicago is situated, gained 566, 49S
and most of the remaining increase
is in a dozen counties containing
cities of over so, 900 people. Fifty of
the 1O2 counties Of the state contain
fewer persons now than ten years ago.
The total decrease in these fifty
counties is over $4,000. All of them

obtained by cutting out the old bear

and south if possible. | would sup
port the canes with wires as We or
dinarily do with this differences; l
would raise the east wire about six
inches higher, or four and one-half
feet. The cross wire that hold the
wires would be 80 inches long to ex-
tend to two thirds of the length to
the east end, and third to the
west. | would train all the canes to
the east and fasten them to the wire
by looping a strong twine around
each two canes and would not top the
canes. The incline of the canes from
the ground to the wire would give
spring enough so that they could not
break over the wire, and the new
canes would all be kept on one side
and would not interfere with the
picking as all the berries would be on
one side of the row. The advantage
of this system would be easier and
better picking, as all the berries
would be on one side of the row and
not be tangled. The berries ripen
earlier and are firmer and the yield
is fully as great as when p lanted closer

Now just few words about picking
and packing. Raspberries should be
picked just as soon as they will come
off the core without crumbling in
picking. Place the first two fingers
behind the berry and gently pull off
without much pressure. Do not hold
many berries in the hand at once or
they will be crushed and spoiled for
shipping, and do not put overripe
berries in the same box with good
solid ones or they will not ship we'll.
A soft berry soon moulds and spoils
the whole crate. Fill boxes full, but
do not round or heap up in, the center

Berry Growing in
The PuyaIIup Valley
By E. S. Ridge, Puyallup, Horticulture
Inspector 18th District.

IN Cno Huydllup valley lor Al years anu
have seen the output increased from
4,519 crates in 1899, to SO, 64S crates in
1910. The people of the valley have
made a success of growing raspberries
commercially and their success is due
to three factors; first the soil,
second organization, third to their
splendid shipping facilities. The
soil of the valley is a sandy loan and
is we'll adapted to raspberry growing.
When I first commenced to grow
raspberries, our markets were in
Seattle and Tacoma. But soon the
supply exceeded the demand, and the
prices got very low and the growers
began to get discouraged. About 1895
few growers made few shipments
to Spokane with good results. In
the following year we found that by
careful picking we could get them into
Helena and Butte. From that time
everybody shipped their berries east
of the mountains, but from lack Of
organization they often shipped all
their berries to the same place which
resulted in the cutting of prices in
order to dispose of their crop.
In order to keep in touch with the
market, and to equalize the DISPOSE
ton of the berries in 1898 a cooperative
association was formedswhich gave us
very good results for four years; then

organized into a stock association,
under the name of the Puyallup and
Sumner Growers Association, and
from that time we have succeeded be-
yond our expectations.
This organization has made it pos
sible to ship our berries in car load
lots to distant markets. 1t has made
possible to own and operate our own
cannery; it has made it possible to
get better service from the transporta-
ton companies. This association now
has over TOO shipping members, as
far as | am able to learn the Puyallup
valley is the only place in the United
States that sells raspberries in car
load lots. During the season Of 1910
this association shipped 70 refrigera-
tor cars, some going as far as st.
Paul, Kansas City and Omaha. AS to
shipping facilities all trains going
East from Portland and Puget Sound
points pass through Puyallup valley,
or make connection at Auburn. We
ship on the N. F., G. N. and Q. M.
& Puget Sound.
The two leading varieties grown in
the valley are the Cuthbert and
Antwerp. The Antwerp is the better
yielder and is the easiest to ripen,
and when picked as soon as it begins
to color, ships we'll but softens as soon
as ripe and must be picked every day
