y PROF. JWILLARD DOIIT
A BACKYARD BERRY PATCH.
7lght Western Newspaper Union,

Every backyard farm should raise
some blackberries and raspberries.
They will grow almost everywhere,
cost little or nothing to set out and
after they are once planted they will
continue to grow and bear luscious
fruit for long period of years with
practically no attention. The only
work involved is few minutes spent
la pruning and spraying each year.
Why not plant some in your garden
this year?
April is the best month to set out
berry bushes and they may be planted
even earlier If the ground thaws and
dries sufficiently to work it. The
plants may be secured from a nursery
man at small expense, or you can cut
short canes from some established bed
and plant them. BE sure in this case
that the canes are last years wood.
strong and healthy and have two buds
al least on the portion OF the stalk
that goes into the ground These leaf
buds will send out roots when buried
and new plant will be the result
BY planting these cuttings in moist
sand in warm place they will de-
yelop root system much earlier and
can then be traDsplanted to the per
manent bed. Another good way to
get cuttings from an old bush Is to
bend over some of the canes and bury
the tips In the ground. Roots Will
develop at the tip and It can then be
cut of and transplanted.
These cuttings should be planted in
rows eight feet apart, with the cut
tings three feet apart in the row.
Raspberries require only half the dis
taDce needed by hlackberrtes, as the
latter spread very rapidly.
The soil for raspberrles should be
richer than for blackberIies and they
do not require quite as much water
for best results. A very dry soil is bad
for either, however, as dry weather
will produce dry pithy berries
Hoe the soil about the canes well
the first year and after the leaves have
cropped, prune back the stalks one
half, TO force the plant to produce lat
eFal branches and fruit After the
second season this should be done
every winter
These small fruits bear heavily
every year and are exceedingly hardy.
The canes do not need to be tied up
II properly pruned, but II the climate
Is very cold they should be bent over
and covered with earth and straw dur.
ting the winter.
II your bushes are infected with
parasites either bacterial or insect
spray them with Bordeaux mixture
containing arsenate of lead Good va
rieties OF blackberries are the Edo
rado and Snyder, while the Cuthbert
red raspberry and the Gregg black
berry are very widely grown.

as TO relieve the situation.
The effect on wool prices OF British

which Great Britain has imposed on
the export Of wool from her wool-pro
ducing colonies. we have imported
about 900, o00,0 900 pounds OF this pro.
due, since the beginning Of the war.
Had VIC realized republican rates on
this importation splendid revenue
would have been realized; nor is it
probable that these rates would have
seriously cur,ailed our imports Of wool,
so imperative has been the demand OF
the warning powers for blankets, APP
parel, etc.
The end Of the war will find Great
Britain using as much Of her colonial
woods as possible. and, under the pres
ent ,arifi-ior-less than revenue, under
selling the American manufacturer OF
wooden goods. while the surplus over
and above whs, Great Britain is able
proftsbly to consume will find its way
to this country TO be sold at prices
which will make serious inrosds on the
profits Of our wool growers under our
present free wool provision.
