BEST BLACKBERRIES
GROWN IN DELAWARE
Reason Is Because Farmers
There Have Spent Entire Lives
in Culture of Fruit.

Some of the best blackberries in the
world are grown in the extreme south
ern part of Delaware. 1t may be
asked: "Why do they rank among
the best in the world" 1t is because
some farmers there have spent their
entire lives, and practically all their
farms in the culture of blackberrieS.
The following are the methods en-
ployed by one of the most prosperous
blackberry growers in Delaware: He
always selects sandy loan soil, shell
tered from winds. 1t is essential that
this land be well drained.
In the spring as soon as the land
can be worked, he set out plants about
u to IA inches high. His favorite va
riety is the Lucritia. He, makes the
rows about 6 or feet apart. He
leaves about feet between plants
in the row. The plants are set in
shallow holes, the planter packing the
dirt firmly around the roots. In do
ing so he sees that the roots are moist.
He claims the advantage in the roots
being wet is that the soil is made to
hold firmer, thus enabling the roots to
take hold in the ground sooner than
otherwise.
The first year he plants peas be-
tween rows so as to allow no waste

Cheap COOKING RANGE.

An electrical toy range has lately
been invented which can be made of
real utility in small apartment. At
a demonstration recently given a
hearty meal for five persons was
cooked at the expense of IL cents
worth of current. The little stove in
cludes an oven and six small hot plates.
The meal cooked included five-pound
roast, boiled potatoes, biscuit, maca-
roni, two small apple pies and apple
sauce. OF course such results are only
obtained at that cost by a skilled dem
onstratOr. but the tiny electric range
has great possibilities, for the adult
housekeeper as well as for the small
girl it was designed to amuse.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

A medicinal preparation like DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root, that has real curative
value almost sells itself. Like an endless
chai1 system the remedy is recommended
by those who have been benefited to those
who are in need of it.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is a physi-
clans prescription. 1t has been tested
for years and has brought results to count
less numbers who have suffered.
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
is due to the fact that it fufills almost ev-
cry wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.
Do not suffer. Get bottle of Swamp
Root from any druggist now. Start treat
ment today.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper-Adv.

Oprortunitv,

The train was passing through a
prohibition state, and the hardware
drummer had forgotten to provide
himself with flask. When the train
stopped at little station he got out
and asked a native on the depot plat
form if there was any place in town
where he could get a drink.
The native shook his head.
you're just a day too late, stran-
ger," he replied sadly ''The sheriff
raided every place in town last night
and cOnfiscated all the booze. They're
tryin' the fellers that sold it up to the
courthouse right now"
Lead me to that courthouse" COM
manded the drummer, pressing a coin
into the natives hand. "They might
want an expert up there to sample that
stuff and tell 'em what it really is"

GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP
The Greatest Trapshooting Event Of
the Year, Won with Winchester
Repeater" Shells.

The Grand American Handicap, the
trapshoOting classic, equivalent to the
Worlds Series in Baseball, the highest
honor the world has to bestow in trap
shooting, the event that marks the cli-
max in the trapshooter's career, was
won by Capt. J. F. Wulf, of Milwau-
kee, with the wonderful score Of 99x1O0
from the 19-yard mark. In making this
great win he shot Winchester RE
peater" loaded shells.
The National Amateur Champion
ship was won by F. NJ. Troeh, of the
State of Washington. Mr.. Troeh also
took second place for National ANA
teur Championship at Doubles. He al
so won the Mound City Overture, and
the General Average on all targets, and
General Average on 16-yard targets,
In winning all these events, Mr.. Troeh
used Winchester repeating shotgun.
The Women's National Champion
ship, the first event of the kind ever
staged at Grand American Handicap,
was won by Mrs. ]. D. Dalton, of War
saw, Indiana, with a Winchester re-
peating shotgun.
The Dunspaugh Trophy, emblematic
of the Professional Championship was
won by Phil r. Miller with Winches-
ter repeating shotgun.
The Hercules All-round Amateur
Championship was won by Edw. l..
Bartlett, of Baltimore, with Winches-
ter loaded shells. This was a hard
match to win, as it called for so singles
at 1S, 20, % yards, respectively, and 25
doubles at 16 yards.
This was great cleanup for Win
chester guns and shells and demon
! stratiOn of their wonderful shooting
qualities.

of ground. He keeps weeds down from
around the blackberry bushes and the
ground soft, being careful not to in
jure the new shoots. The following
years with the coming of warm,
springlike weather, he cultivates the
patch, and continues to do so until the
berries ripen.
When the berries have gone he ap-
plies manure to the soil, spreading a
gOOd-sized fOrkful over each hill. Once
each year for about seven years he
repeats this method of manuring. The
second year the bushes make large
growth. When they attain height
of 21a feet or feet, he breaks the
tip ends off, which causes the bushes
to be stOcky.
In autumn he bends the ends of
the tOpmOst canes down so as to tCelch
the ground, covering them with enough
dirt to hold them in this position. The
effect of this is twOfold, prevention of
winterkilling and creation of new
plants.

as the raspberry has been used for
culinary purposes, the art Of drying it
with artificial heat is comparatively
recent commercial development.
The artificial process Of drying un-
der high heat has an advantage over
sun drying in that the product can be
obtained much sooner and is Of more
desirable quality. Eyaporated fruit of
the highest quality loses only a small
percentage of its juices. The heat is
sufficient to scar the outside of the
fruit by breaking down it's cellular
structure and giving 1t a dry, some
what resistant surface, which has a
tendency to keep the interior portion
much more moist and palatabIe than
Is possible under the slow process of
sun drying.
With partially ripened fruits such
as peaches, apricots, prunes, apples,
ETC., which are dried under high heats,
the process becomes one Of transform
ing the starches into sugar, or, in other
words, quickening of the ripening
process. This to a certain extent is
accomplished with the raspberry, but,
as its fruits are usually thoroughly
matured when they go to the evapOra-
tor, it Is likely that there IS much
less chemical change in the raspberry
than in the case of the apple. The
improved quality of the product from
the evaporatOr not only adds to its
commercial value, nut increases the
income of the producer, because there
is less loss in weight in evapOrated
than in Sun-dried fruit. In other
words, the yield from a given area in
evaporated fruit is somewhat greater
than the yield from the same area in
Sun-dried fruit. These features, to-
gether with the rapidity with which
the operation can be carried on, are
considered of sufficient advantage to
warrant growers Of raspberries in
erecting evaporators even at consider
able cost.
The drying of berries on racks ex-
posed to the sun is a practice largely
in vogue in many of the raspberry
growing regions, and was, up to COM
paratively recent times, the only
method of curing and caring for the
fruits of the raspberry. The method
of sun curing is more or less incOn-
venient in that it requires q great deal
of attention and provision for shelter
ing the fruit in case Of showers, as
well as covering for the racks at
night to protect them from rain or
dew.
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1916-09-21

Raspberries are harvested in two
ways. For consumption as fresh fruit
they are always hand picked. In fact,
many of the commercial growers Of
raspberries which are intended for
evaporation or drying prefer to hand
pick rather than to "bat" the fruit.
There are perhaps about as many ad-
vocates Of hand picking as of bat
ting" and a grower must decide for
himself which, under his circum-
stances, is most economical.
Hand picking does not require any
description, but there are great many
people who do not know what @'bat-
ting" means.
In this method of picking the ber-
ries the bushes are bent over a device
covered with muslin and the fruit is
beaten into these traylike receptacles
by the use of very light paddle. The
bushes are drawn over by short wire
hook, and with a light, somewhat
curved bat, the well-ripened fruits are
knocked from the plants up against
the muslin and roll gently to the lower
end of the tray, where the wider por-
tiOns of the frame form a receptacle.
With device of this kind one man
is capable of picking from five to eight
bushels of fruit daily, while the most
expert pickers can pick only about
100 quarts, or three bushels. 1t will
thus be seen that this devise is of con-
Siderable advantage in that it shortens
the period Of harvest. The drawbacks
is that small percentage Of the ber
ries is lost by bouncing out Of the
tray as they are forced against the
muslin by the stroke of the paddle
This loss, however, is not very great
amounting, perhaps to not more thar
one-half Of one per cent in extreme
cases.
The batting Of raspberries is nevel
practiced except upon fruits which arr
to be evaporated. After being dried
they must be looked over carefully b!
hand, as are beans, so as to remove
any small leaves which have been bat
ted into the trays with the fruit.
The use of heat, either from the SUI
or from some artificial source, for tn
purpose of drying the fruits has mad
the raspberry an important CONNER
cial product in certain sections of tn
United States. Regions which coul
not prOfitably engage in the GROWN
of this fruit were it's sole use to
found as a fresh fruit upon the maj
ket can now safely undertake its GU
tivatiOn. While the sun drying G
