RAISE CROP OF RASPBERRIEs
Yields In Different Sections Vary
oreatly-seeure Plants From Re-
liable Nurseryman.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Yields from raspberry plantations
vary greatly according to the varieties
raised, the care given them, and the
conditions under which they are grown.
In the eastern United States 1t Is
agreed generally that In sections to
which they are adapted the purple
sorts are the most productive, the
blackcaps next, and the red varieties
the least productive. Records Of red
raspberry growers In New York State
Indicate that the average yield Is be-
tween 1900 and 1,400 quarts per acre,
while the best fields go as high as 1000
quarts. Black raspberrles in the same
state average between 1,400 quarts
per acre, and the purple varieties aver
age between LOO and $500 quarts
Yields in different sections as well as
from different varieties vary greatly
Plants of the different varieties Of
raspberries may be secured from any
reliable nursery and usually in start
ing a new plantation this is done.
Many growers having an established
nlantstion nronasate their own stock.

McGraw had never dreamed Of Ho-

looks, and, most of all, he took a
fancy to the name of Hogan. Nc
Graw would like to surround himself
with Doyles, McCarthys and Hogans,
so he decided to give Mike a chance,
and Mike went to Marlin.
So there is something in name
after all, for Hogan, who had never
played professional ball, is getting his
first tryout in the strongest minor
league in the country, and all because
his name Is Hogan.

Fifteen Cities in 1920
May Reach a Population
In Excess of 100000

There will certainly be ten Amer
ican cities, when the 1920 census count
is made, that will have a population
in excess of 100000, and there may
be as many as fifteen that will pass
the half-milllon population score,
states writer in the Baltimore
American. Baltimore Is going to be
in the big ten, but where along in
the big ten? New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia will be the three largest
cities in the order named. But what
city will occupy fourth place? And
just what place in the first ten col
umn will Baltimore ocCupy2 The
question may seem trivial, but it is
a question in which the people of at
least five cities, Baltimore being in

more, Boston, st. Louis, Detroit and
Cleveland. The city that is most
likely to beat Baltimore In the race
for fourth place is Detroit, which now
has an estimated population Of $685.
900. Estimated populations some
times shrink tremendously when the
government count is made, and 1t may
be so with the spurty metropolis Of
Michigan. st. Louis Is claiming a
1918 population Of $4,000, but this
also is subject to possible shrinkage,
as 1t is 10000 greater than the 1910
score. Boston has not extended her
boundary lines and is not making any
claim to extraordinary population
growth. The New England city does
claim an increase of 100000 over the
1910 count, however, or present
population of 10000.
1t seems to be warranted conclu-
sion that Baltimore must score above
100000 to get fourth place in the col
umn. If the Baltimore score should
be around, say 100000, the Greater
Baltimore may not be located above
seventh place and may be In eighth
position, or only two places from bot
tom. But the Baltimore count may
be in way Of surprise. We don't
know just how many people there are

ground is rich, another stand will grow
for the following year. If this prac-
tice is followed, the fruiting planta-
ton need not be disturbed by digging
up sucker plants. Sometimes growers
of the Marlboro and Ruby varieties
wait until suckers appear in the spring
and set these out. Such plants will be
small, but should be very free from
insects and diseases.
Raspberries may be propagated also
by cuttings of the roots or canes If
necessary. In ordinary practice, how
ever, cuttings Of either roots or canes
are rarely used.
