TO TRAIN BLACKBERRY CANE
Sometimes Desirable in Order to Fa-
cilitate CuItivation--Wire Trel-
lis Is Favored.

Blackberry roots live for many
years, but the canes, with the excep-
ton of two varieties, bear only in
their second year. After the fruiting
season, therefore, they are cut out
and burned. The one-year-old canes
may usually be left to themselves
throughout the winter. Not more than
three or four new canes are left to
each plant, however, and the others
are thinned out at the same time as
those which have fruited.
In some cases, it will also be desir
able to train the plants in order to
facilitate cultivation as we'll as to pre-
vent damage by winter SHOWS. A wire
trellis may then become a profitable
investment. The simplest form con-
sists of single wire attached to posts
set at intervals of from Is to 80 feet in
each row of plants. The canes are
tied to this wire about 21a feet above
the ground. Another method is to nail
cross pieces to the posts and stretch
two wires from the ends of these cross
pieces, which form a support for the
blackberry canes on each side.

Northern Farmers Coming.
Many northern farmers are coming
into this country and doing good fasm-
ing, but Mr.. Greenwich is native born.
His work proves two things-first, that
to be able to do as good farming as
anyone, tobacco farmers need only to
get to reading and studying about their
work; and, secondly, there are few
wornout tobacco soils, even those nat
urally thin. which cannot, by proper
handling, be made to produce profit
able crops. Thriving tobacco, corn,
peas and other crops where once red
gals show what can be done by the
man who looks ahead and who cares
for his soil.

waste fields fertile. Of establishing at.

orchard and rye grass. The clovers,
alfalfa, vetch, rape, wheat and other
crops furnish good grazing for about
ten months in normal years. During
six months Of the year the pastures af-
ford all the grass his animals consume
and part Of this feed for four addi-
tional months. The feed for the bal
ance of the grazing period is furnished
by supplementary crops produced on
other portions of the farm.
Purebred Duroc Jersey hogs are kept
on this farm. The pigs are sold for
breeding purposes and used for pork
and lard. Permanent pastures, graz
ing crops and about one-fourth pound
of corn per hundred pounds of hog per
day keeps the hogs in the best possible
condition.
The poultry department supplies
eggs, chickens and turkeys for home
use and to sell. The turkeys contribute
their share Of the profits, but chickens
are considered the best money makers.
Mites and lice are kept off the chick
ems, clean, well-ventllated houses fur
nished and plenty OF good feed sup
piled.
Several good milk cows are kept on
the farm to furnish milk cream and
butter for the family. Good pastures,
clover hay and cottonseed meal are
fed to the cows. The manure is care
fully saved and applied to the poorest
spots.

of all his possessions. 1t is his and
his loved ones castle. 1t shelters
those he loves most and is to him the
dearest spot on earth. 1t is not luxuri-
ously furnished. but comfortable fur.

]. c. Greenwell of st. Mary's
county, Maryland, is making good soil
out of poor and making money at the
same time Because of the work of re-
storing the worn, quilted lands is a
fundamental process in remaking the
tobacco districts, and because Mr..
Greenwich has done such notable work
along this line, l thought it worth
while to pay his farm visit.
There are few farms which would
more richly reward a farmer for a
visit. One hundred and sixty-four
acres of rolling land and every acre
showing the effect of intelligent and
loving care. On all this farm there
are not more than ten acres that have
not been made fertile by lime, acid
phosphate, legumes and live stock.
Few gullies have not been reached !;
but there are broad acres where
clovers and grasses grow luxuriantly,
which still bear evidence of the time
when they were marred by gullies.
Simple, Essential Process.
How is he making the soil more pro-
ductive and adding to his bank account
every year? By the simple, but essen
tial process Of lime, phosphorus,
legumes and live stock. He grows
crops to enrich his soil on large part
of his farm and feeds the larger part
of all crops grown to good live stock.
The gullies were filled with the plow
and scraped and plowed over, of
course, but the real work of reclama-
ton was done by the crops which were
plowed under or fed to live stock and
the manure spread on the poorest

Mr.. Greenwich grows practically all
OF the feed and food consumed on his
farm. He does not send money to
other sections Of the country to pay
for corn, hay, bacon, lard, canned
goods. mules and horses and other
farm products. He stays out of debt
and 1t is not necessary for him to dump
his farm products on the market when
prices are low.
There is a large fertile garden Just
back of the dwelling The soil is very
fertile and plants are grown practical
ly every month in the year. AS soon
as one crop is harvested, another kind
of vegetable adapted to the season is
planted in it's place. In cases where a
vegetable occupies the soil for con-
siderable time, the succeeding crop is
planted between the rows, or even be-
tween the plants in the rows.
He not only fully realizes tho value
Of systematic rotation Of crops, but
he also knows the great importance of
a rotation in the garden and the keep
ing of a supply Of fresh vegetables all
the year round. The average farmer
gives little attention to the garden and
on many farms if the mother fails to
look after the garden, few vegetables
are grown.
Utilizes Advantages.
He Is fully aware OF the numerous
advantages his section has for the eco
nomical growing of live stock. He
utilizes the many advantages to the
fullest extent. The land is compare
lively cheap and for this reason he de-
ponds largely upon grazing for the
necessary feeds for all live stock. He
has excellent pastures of clovers and

"DON'Ts" FOR BEST SPRAYING
Results Need Not Be Expected IfWork

ketine of Importance.

Don't expect results If the work is
not thoroughly done.
Don't think a week earlier or later
than the date recommended is just as
good.
Don't overspray. A continuous even
coating should be left on the fruit and
foliage; any material which runs off
does no good.
Don't think that lime-sulphur will
control apple blotch as we'll as bor'
deaux mixture.
Don't apply bordeaux mixture dur
ing wet weather; it is liable to russell
the fruit.
Don't try to get along with a ma
chine which is worn out or too small
to do good work; IL the work is worth
doing 1t is worth doing we'll
Don't think that spraying will pay
unless the fruit Is we'll marketed;

spots with a manure spreader. Cow
peas, soy beans, crimson clover, red
clover and alfalfa have all been grown;
even a growth of weeds is considered
helpful. Mr. Greenwich says that the
main trouble with the WORKOUT to-
bacco lands is lack of humus. He
grows legumes to fill his soil full of
humus and nitrogen and to furnish
valuable feed.
The policy of furnishing the soil an
abundance of vegetable matter is pur-
sued on every part OF the farm. Such
crops as the clovers, tobacco, corn and
wheat are grown in the rotation. Grim.
son clover is always planted in the to.
bacco and corn at the last working.
The idea of keeping the soil full Of
decaying vegetable matter is always
kept in mind; and the rough feeds are
almost entirely consumed by live
stock, the manure going onto the poor
est spots. 1t is this policy Of persist
ent soil feeding that has increased the
productiveness of this farm until 1t
yields an average Of more than 1000
pounds of tobacco, two tons of hay, as
bushels Of corn and 80 bushels of
wheat.
Followed Sane Plan.
This Is the great big lesson to learn
from this farm. Mr. Greenwich real
ICED that the most intelligent farmer
will fail on poor land unless he builds
1t up, and set out to make his soil very
productive. He did not attempt to do
this by the extravagant use of com
mercial fertilizers. He followed the
sure, sane and economical method OF
good blowing, phosphorus. lime
legumes and live stock.
OF course he believes in commercial

Of care with which they are handl

upon the tree and the time when tn
reach the consumer. If there is, a
time in the growing and handling o.
the apple when extreme care will pay
better in satisfaction and in dollars
than it will in the hand picking of the
fruit we have never discovered it. A
break in the skin, or bruise, although
it may appear very slight and appar-
emily insignificant, is detrimental to
the keeping qualities.
Some varieties of apples bruise very
easily, especially when they have
reached stage Of ripeness suitable for
harvesting.
