START OF BLACKBERRY PATCH
Average Yield Of $500 Quarts to Acre
Can Be Expected, According to
Government Estimate.

A recent government publication
states that under good management
an average yield of 1900 quarts Of
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 site for a blackberry
plantation the most important con-
siderations are the moisture OF the
soil and the accessibility Of a market
The blackberry Is a tender fruit. the

a deep. fine, sandy loan with q large
supply Of humus and abundant mois-

The earlier the plants are set the

roots should be set deeply, for the

WHERE BLUE BLOOD RULES
In Germany and Austria Il Makes No
Difference How Much You Have,
Only What You Are.

Miss Wylie says In her Eight Years
IN Germany" that contempt for mere
money Is a striking characteristic OF
the German people. Wealth alone
does not entitle Its possessor to any
special Difference or consideration.
THE Germans indifference to
oney," she declares, amounts very
hearly to contempt. ! am not speak

Among the old miners OF Sisikyou

FACTORS IN GROWING APPLES
Consenial Climate, Suitable Soil and
Availability Of Market Are I'm
portant Essentials.

While the apple will grow under
more different conditions than most
any other fruit. its successful culture
depends on a great many factors.
Three general conditions that must be
met to make a successful fruit growing
industry are. congenial climate, q
suitable soil and availability Of mar
ket.
More specific conditions may include
type Of soil, depth OF soil. accessibility
to railroad. water and air drainage,
contour Of land. proximity to rivers
lakes or mountains. prevailing winds
liability to f.osts and many other
things. Not all the land In any of the
great fruit areas can be considered az
fruit land.
In fact only here and there In these
areas Of country are there sections Of
territory that answer the requirements
Of fruit growing. And CT these small
sections but small percentage Of the
land will measure up to the necessary
specifications for profitable orchard.

broken and diverse given area % our
