Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. G. BOWSFIELD

For maximum profits at minimum
labor and expense the American berry
crops surpass the majority Of farm and
garden products.
Uniformity of yield and steadiness Of
market prices are characteristics Of the
berry trade If the supply Of fresh
fruit ever catches up to the demand
the surplus may be turned into pre-
serves. All loss is thereby avoided,
and profits are doubled.
Berries are valuable products Oh
small farms, as the bushes usually may
occupy ground which is otherwise al
most worthless. They may fill up
fence corners or the idle spaces in or.
chards. 1t is seldom necessary to use
a choice bit Of land for these crops, but
the return can be safely reckoned at
the rate of $3.50 to $3.50 an acre. This
extra money Is picked up In time which
can be spared from the principal crops
Of the farm. Spring planting is safe
and is quite generally favored.

A grower wishes both early and late
berries. For instance, the Plum Farm
er black raspberry ripens early and is
a delicious fruit. Berries are large,
thick meated, juicy and sweet They
pick easily and stand up and carry
well. In quality, firmness and produc-

THE GENERAL GARDEN SCHEME.

are large, regular, glossy black, with
grayish bloom; quite firm, sweet and
Of the best quality, with that delightful
flavor which distinguishes the black
raspberry. These berries give early
and late supplies and will always SELF
at high prices to town customers.
There is medium berry also which
may be worked into the program. This
helps to make full and profitable sea-
son. The Cumberland is a fine, large
berry, ripening in midseasOn. This
is the largest Of the raspberry family
and is of such a handsome appearance
that it is sure to bring the top price.
Bushes are healthy and vigorous.
The Cuthbert has long been regarded
as the best of all red raspberries, not
only on account Of it's fine shipping
qualities, but for it's size, color and
richness of flavor. The plant is strong
grower, with healthy foliage. The Cuth-
bert is one of the reliable varieties that
can be depended on to bear profitable
crop of berries nine seasons out Of ten.
St. Regis is the only variety Of rasp-
berry that gives a crop the first year
the plants are set out, and it gives two
crops every year afterward. st. Regis
begins to ripen in June and continues
to bear fruit until frost. This is truly
an everlasting red raspberry. The ber-
ries are large, bright crimson of the
highest quality, with true raspberry
flavor. It cannot be surpassed as ia
BILE fruit. No garden is complete with
out raspberry bushes, and full acre
may we'll be devoted to berry culture.
There are three distinct classes Of
raspberries-red, purple and black.
They do best on sandy loan, but will
grow in any soil that is fairly we'll
drained. Set the bushes in rows about
six feet apart and three feet apart in
the row. The cane should be kept well
cut down to five or six of the strongest
near the parent plant. Cut out and
burn all the old canes as soon as they
are through fruiting.

to carry well. A large proportion of
these berries will measure one and one
half inches in length. They cannot be
surpassed for table or canning pur-
poses. The plant is strong. erect
grower and, unlike most varieties, pro-
duces few suckers, but roots from the
tips, like raspberries. The blackberry
is hardy, having sustained a tempera-
ture Of Is to IS degrees below zero
without harm. BY midsummer it can
be trained in tree form.
Currants and gooseberries belong In
this same general garden scheme and
are highly profitable. They should be
mulched every spring and we'll pruned,
so that new wood may have a chance
. to grow. The ground about them
should be kept in good condition by
manure and cultivation. Kill worms
with powdered hellebore. Give plants
winter protection.

Greatest Sale of the
Year

A sale that will eclipse anything have pre-
viously attempted. Its scope is magnificent, en-
bracing as it does practically every item in our
store-previously filled to the brim with brand
new goods. Certain conditions have arisen that
necessitate the immediate raising of enough
money to satisfy our creditors, and in order to
raise this amount quickly, we announce an I'M
usual number of record breaking price concessions.
The values need not be talked about here--they
will speak for themselves. Every article placed
sale adheres strictly to the highest quality
standard of our store. Every quotation is de-
cided reduction from the former selling price.
Values such these are seldom offered on sea-
sonable merchandise. Be sure and cover your
need at the earliest convenience, for some lots
will not hold out long at prices quoted.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1916-06-09

and in face of the advance we are forced to quote
prices lower than we can replace the goods at.
We must raise cash enough to satisfy the clam
oring of our creditors. There is but one way open
to us-cut prices so low as to force buying. We
have had many sales before and always have
done just as advertised. This will be exception
those who availed themselves of the many OPP
portunites we have presented heretofore will no
doubt be here again, with their friends.
Come expecting great bargains
and you'll not be disappointed
in this great sale

Necessity Recognize
No Law

We forced to take aggressive measures of
relief. This money raising sale begins Saturday,
June 10th, when the doors will be thrown open to
the public for the mightiest outpouring of mer-
chandse it was ever your good fortune to share
in. he sale will be sensational, not only for the
sweeping reductions on every item in the build
ing, but also for the high character of the mer-
chandise that will be offered for sale. This is an
occasion so extraordinary and rare that it cannot
be classed along with other so-calIed sales. The
necessity confronts us of raising a sufficient
amount Immediately. We are taking the most
aggressive measures of relief in order to move
this stock quickly, and to create a furore. The
prices have been reduced, slashed and cut to the
lowest limits This genuine money raising sale
will be Iegtimably conducted as it is being ad-
Vertised.
