THE HIGH
COST OF
LIVING

can be materially reduced by
planting an assortment of trees
and berries for home use.
Why buy your fruit and ber-
ries when you can raise them
yourself and enjoy the luxury of
having them freshly picked.
There is hardly a farm garden
or city lot where space cannot be
found for these, greatly enhanc-
ing the value of the property
and adding to the enjoyment of
life.
Our large catalog is free for
the asking. It's a beauty and
should be in every home.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-09-01

began bearing berries that we're full
size, but instead of ripening red and
soft, they we're pale and hard and
lost their normal taste. Ii left until
they we're soft they we're bitter or
tasteless. Every year since these
canes have borne the same kind of
defective fruit, while others had only
few of the hard kind. The Ant
werps suffered most, the Cuthberts
scarcely at all. Some one told me
the trouble was caused by a disease
Of the roots but do not know whether
this is correct or not. Sclerosis seems
to me to be the proper scientific term
for the condition. l would like to
know what is known of the disease.
Ii you can get at it easily it may be
of sufficient interest to give it a
paragraph or two in The Ranch. -
I have occasionally seen raspberry
canes affected in the manner here de-
scribed. [ never knew the disease to
spread to any considerable extent. If
is exists to any great extent among
raspberries in this state | do not
know of it. | wish to say frankly
that on my farms we are not raising
raspberries, except for home use,
hence I am not as we'll posted in such
matters as l was twenty to forty
years ago. AS | knew the disease
then its ravages were so rare l did
not give it much attention. My
Judgment then was that this harden
ing was caused by defective roots
and think SO yet. l am not now
able to recall whether in it's attacks
it was confined to the Antwerps. II
it is then it is not a serious matter,
for 80 far as my experience goes, [
would prefer the Cuthbert and the
Turner to the Antwerp, for they paid
me better. This may not be the case
out here. Raspberry growers are
more competent to speak on this
phase of the matter than am.
Perhaps l should make another
confession: My studies have not
been along the line of vegetable path
ology. Not for the benefit OF d.
Musgrove or any other physician, but
for the benefit of many of our readers,
may say that the word pathology is
derived from two Greek words, viz:
pathos, suffering, and logos, dis
course, hence a treatise on disease.
For long time the term was applied
only to animals, man included, and
not to vegetable growths for the
reason that vegetables are not known
to suffer in the sense that man and
other animals do. But now we have
vegetable pathologist, that is, persons
we study and treat of the diseases OF
plants. am not we'll informed in
that kind of pathology, or for that
matter, in any other kind, if I am
the son of a physician.
Whether the disease referred to by
DR.. Musgrove is fungus or bacterial
attack [ do not know. 1 would grub
out the hills affected with this dis
ease and if the attacks are confined
to one variety of the raspberry, l
would not plant that variety.
Certainly it is not great stretch of
the word sclerosis to Apply it to the
hardening of some part of diseased

we brought down has been sold to the

to do much except to teach his man

DRYS IN MAINE NOW LEAD
Surprise in Late Returns Changes the
Vote in Favor Of the Prohibition
~ Voters.
THE VICTORY APPEARS CERTAIN

Portland, Me-. Sept. 3.-Revised
returns on the question of the repeal
of constitutional prohibition at l
o'clock this morning, reduced the ma
jority against repeal to 295. The
total vote stood: For repeal 60,126,
against repeal 60,511. 49,
Most of the towns yet to be heard
from have been unofficially reported
with small majorities, favoring the
retention of the prohibitory amend
ment in the constitution and any
change in the vote of these places is
likely to help prohibitionists.
In addition to this majority shown
by the clerks returns, there are fifty
more ''dry" votes known to exist in
Portland, which are not included in
the city clerks report because of an
admitted error. If necessary the an
ti-repealers will petition for a re-
count. --sr->.: = .~ ~
The change from apparent victory
for the "wet" side by 700 votes to
! SO votes in favor of the "dry" side,
came as big surprise.
The prohibitionists had practically
>conceded defeat, while representa-
tive of those who suggested the re-
peal of the constitutional amendment
had sent out numerous statements on
the strength of their apparent safe
majority.
OF the other referendum questions
before the people, that favoring the
direct primaries act carried by safe
majority according to returns at hand
