START OF BLACKBERRY PATCH
Average Yield of 1880 Quarts to Aero
Can Be Expected, According to
Government Estimate.

A recent government publication
states that under good management
an average yield of $500 quarts of
blackberries to the acre can be ex-
pected. Where the soil is deep and
rich and the best moisture conditions
are found this may be increased to
5000 quarts. The last federal census
showed that approximately $4,000
acres were devoted to blackberry
plantations In the country.
In selecting a site for a blackberry
plantation the most important con-
siderations are the moisture of the
soil and the accessibility of market.
The blackberry is tender fruit, the
keeping qualities of which are serious
ly affected by Earring over rough
roads. 1t is, moreover, essential that
the berries should be placed on the
market as quickly as possible after
they are picked If they are to COM
mand good price. The best land Is
a deep, fine, sandy loan with large
supply Of humus and abundant mois-
ture at the ripening season.
The earlier the plants are set the
larger the proportion that will live
and the better their growth. The
roots should be set deeply, for the
canes break easily If the crowns
project above the surface Of the
ground. T e tops should be cut back
to six inches or 80 in length. AS cul-
tiyation is necessary the plants are set
sufficiently far apart to permit of 1t.

Grapevine Trellis.

you have to do is to thrust in the
ground near the garden stout stake
which will support a row of grape
vines across your garden for many
years previous to your building trel-
lis for the grape vines. Or you can
grow grapes in this row of vines across
your garden without ever building a
trellis, but by simply training cane
or two OF the vine to stake or post.
Notice that a grape vine will make
double the growth If it has a support
over the vine that has no support.
