Gen. Franklin Captured.

A train which had left Baltimore at
S:SO was then due. AS it approached the
bridge a squad OF twenty men were sent
to capture it. Their shots brought It to
a standstill. with the fireman dead in
the cab. The engineer escaped. Some
OF the passengers alighted in alarm.
Others remained in their seats. A num-
Der were women, and one OF these in
formed Col. Gilmor as he walked through
the train that among the passengers
was Maj. Gen. W. B. Franklin. who was
corps commander in the Federal army.
Gen. Franklin had been serving in Lou
isiana and was travelling north on sick
leave
Scanning the passengers and seeing
several who appeared to be officers.
though they were not in uniform, Col.
Gilmor demanded the papers of each.
and thus soon established the identity
Of Gen. Franklin. who was requested to
alight with the other officers.
After delivering to each passenger his
baggage, on presentation OF checks Gen.
Gilmor ordered the train fired. His pris-
oners were held under guard.
Another train being soon due from
Baltimore, the raiders waited for IT, and
on its arrival took charge Of II. The
baggage was unloaded and the train run
down to the long bridge over the Gun
powder. A guard of militia was posted
here, and a Federal gunboat lay with
the bridge under its guns.
Col Gilmor hit upon a method Of neu-
traliZlng these forces by firing the train
and allowing It to run out on the bridge.
The engine stopped directly over the
draw and the burning cars set fire TO
the bridge, the central part of which
was soon in flames. Baltimore and Wash

THE SOIL, temperature and general
conditions of many parts Of the
State of Washington are admirably
adapted TO the commercial growing of
practically all kinds of small fruit. This
is particularly true of raspberries, black
berries and loganberries. Several locali
ties west of the Cascade mountains have
already become famous as berry grow
ing districts Probably nowhere in the

growth and keep the suckers and weeds
down.
The perishable nature of berries make
them one of the most difficult fruit
crops to market that is commonly grown.
However, if they are picked just as they
are turning red, taken at once to the
packing or cooling shed and handled
with reasonable care they will be in
their prime in from twelve to twenty
four hours. Berries picked in the morn
ing ship better than those picked in the
heat of the day, and under no circum-
stances should fruit be picked when the
leaves of the plants are wet with dew or
|rain.
Where berries are not grown in suffi-
cient quantities to warrant the use of
refrigerator ears, the Pony refrigerator
should be used. Overripe fruit should be
consigned to the cannery, and never be
permitted to be sent to any distant mar
kets.
How to Get Best Results.
The difference in the growth of va
rieties makes it necessary to use differ
ent plans to get the best results for all
varieties.
For the convenience of this discussion
I group all of these fruits into two
classes, i. e.: Outright growers" or
such plants as produce erect canes, and
"viny growers" or such plants as the
Logan and Phenomenal berries, and
Evergreen, Himalaya Giant and Early
Mammoth blackberries, which produce
long PROSTATE vines or canes.
The two general plsnting plans:
Chill" and "continuous row. systems
are about equally used in the CONNER
cial fields of the state. Each has ad
vantages as well as disadvantages, and
if not crowded either will give good
results The hill system affords ths
best opportunities for cultivation, air
drainage, sunlight on all sides of the
plants and ease Of harvesting the crop.
while the continuous row system per-
mits the planting Of more plants per
acre without serious crowding.
The outright grower" may be

grown in hills or they become dense
hedge, making satisfactory harvesting
an impossibility.
A Common Fault.
The one common fault of practically
all amateur fruit growers is The over
planting of their land. The fertility Of
the soil, annual rainfall or irrigation.
and variety materially govern the dis
tance apart plants should be planted.
On the rich moist soils Of Western
Washington, where heavy growth is
certainty, or dry soils of Eastern Wash
ington, where the conservation of the
moisture must be practiced, the 'up-
right growers" should be planted not
closer than six feet apart each way
in the hill system, or three by eight
in the continuous row" system. In
irrigated sections, where moisture can
be supplied at will, the plants may be
planted closer. However, it is not advis-
able since what may be gained in addi-
tional number Of crates per acre IS fire.
quently lost by the grade or quality Of
the fruit. On similar soils the "viny
growers" should be planted in rows
eight feet apart. and the plants from
sixteen to twenty four feet apart in the
row, using the alternate system, and
thereby affording greater feeding
area for the roots of each plant
Stalking Vines.
The "upright growers, where plant
ed in hills, can best be staked by a
single strong stake, from four to six
feet in height, and the canes loosely,
but very securely, fastened to the stake.
Some growers prefer to set two stakes
about fifteen inches apart at each hill
of blackberries with the idea of train
ing the fruiting canes on one and the
growing canes on the other. Where th,
"upright growers are planted in a
continuous row they may be trained to
and supported by a two'wire trellis,
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-08-06

consisting of single row Of posts four
to five feet high with single No. 10
wire stapled to the top, and another
from eighteen to twenty-four inches
from the top. The more common meth
cd, however, is to set a single. line Of
posts four or five feet high in the row,
nail an eighteen inch cross-arm three
feet from the ground and another at the
top Of the posts, and to the ends of
these arms staple heavy wires, thus
forming firm lateral supports for the
canes.
Tho Trellis Support.
The four-wire trellis, with the addi,
tion of notched cross pieces to lay on
the lower wires, makes an excellen!
support for the "viny growers" the
purpose being to suspend the growing
canes by means of small cloth strings
an easy system to work and keeps the
growing and fruiting canes separate,
thereby simplifying the picking
In sections where there lie danger Of
winter injury the old fruit:ng canes
should be left until spring, while in
otner sections they may be removed and
under the upper wires FOR the first year
and at pruning time lower them to rest

en- the notched pieces on the lower wires
for their fruiting period. This makes
the plant cleaned up Immediately after
they are through fruiting. The cutting
back of the tops and final thinning of
tho canes should be done late in the
winter or early in the spring, after all
danger of winter injury is past. The
upright growers" should be cut back
to sound wood from three to five feet in
height, while the "viny growers"
should be cut back to canes from six
to twelve feet in length, depending
upon their condition and strength.
The number of canes to be left per
plant must be determined largely by
the variety and the vigor Of each plant.
Strong upright plants will support from
four to seven canes, while weak ones
should not be expected to support more
than two or three. -Four canes per plant
is the most satisfactory number for the
"viny growers.

Thorough Tillage Necessary.

Nothing can take the place of good,
thorough tillagc in the berry patch. A
heavy mulch may keep down the weeds
and hold the moisture, but it does not
liberate plant food like cultivation. The
spring cultivation should start as soon
as tho soil is dry enough to be worked,
and should be deep enough to loosen up
the soil, yet not so deep as to injure the

One Way Of Handling Twelve-Foot
Canes Of Red Raspberries.

United States do these frnits grow to a
higher degree of perfection than in these
districts. With the opening up of large
tracts of land for orchard purposes
comes the demand for an early yielding,
highly profitable crop that can be grown
among the trees without danger Of in
juring them, and so for this reason large
acreages of these plants are annually be-
ing planted in many parts of the state.
Soils Preferred
While raspberries and blackbcrries are
more or less cosmopolitan as to their
likes and dislikes Of soil, yet they prefer
q deep, rich, moist (but not wet), sandy
loan, abundantly supplied with humus
and nitrogen plant foods However, they
can be successfully grown on basaltie
and volcanic ashy soils after humus has
been added, provided there is sufficient
moisture during the growing and fruit
ing season. Some of this soils of the irri-
gated sections of the state are not adapt
ed to these fruits until one or more
crops of green manure have been plowed
under.
One of the essential features of good
berry soil is thorough drainage, not only
during the growing season, but also dur
ing the winter months Soil that be-
comes saturated with water and so re-
mains for even short time is not adapt
cd to berry culture, and should not be
used until artificial drainage has been
provided. Much trouble from root rot
and root fungus can be avoided by pro-
viding good drainage. The factor of air
drainage should also be considered in the
making of berry plantation. Good air
drainage minimizes the danger Of late
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-08-06

profitably planted according to either
system, but "viny growers" must be
grown in hills or they become dense
hedge, making satisfactory harvesting
an impossibility.
