Raspberries Subject to
Troublesome Ailments

The red raspberry, as well as the
blackcap. is subject to a number Of
diseases, neglect Of which may prove
to be quite troublesome, but if healthy
plants are secured, it should be pos
sible to keep the plantation in a
healthy condition for quite number
OF years, and they will be found quite
remunerative.
It is not quite uncommon to find
fields of the blackcap raspberries
which have been fruiting for ten or
more years and which are practically
free from raspberry diseases.
Many of the failures are due to
planting upon unsuitable locations.
Sometimes the soil is poorly drained,
which IS always fatal to the growth
Of the plants, and in other cases the
plants are set on light sandy soils al
most devoid Of humus and plant food.
1t can hardly be expected that good
results will be obtained, especially as
the plants growing under these con-
ditiOns are not likely to receive the
care that would be given them when
they are yielding profitable crops.

Rapid improvement of live stock in

the agencies of the State College of
Agriculture and the Louisville Live
Stock exchange. In recent letter TO
the United States Department of Agri-

scribes the activities Of the organiza-
tion which includes among its mem

stock breeders and farmers.
"The main idea of the association"
he states, sis the Improvement of live
stock in Kentucky, and the chief line
of work will be in eradicating scrub
sires and putting in pure breds. At
present we have one full-time field
man with the association. He is an
old auctioneer, and in the past has
been largely instrumental in promot-
ing pure bred livestock sales. We
have decided here to use any or all

Orchard Is Benefited
by Flock of Chickens

Writers on poultry topics all tell US
that poultry and fruit go well to-
gether. Very few who have given
the matter a really true and honest
trial say anything other than that 1t
is the best combination yet tried out
by poultry enthusiasts.
Men who have for years followed
the growing of. fruit and chickens
on the same ground testify to its
being an ideal combination, says the
Indiana Farm Guide. 1t is quite rea-
sonable to assume that an orchard of
fruit trees will be greatly benefited
by being used as poultry range. A
nearer ideal place for rearing chickens
is hard to find. The shade of the trees
is essential for the welfare of the
poultry when the weather is hot. Ma
ture has given US no better place
for young chickens and laying hens
than an orchard. during the summer
season.
Chickens will do an immense
amount of work in Kidding an orchard
of insect pests. Chicks and LAYERS are
all engaged in chasing the insects.
The poultry droppings are highly
beneficial to the orchard. Those who
use the orchard as poultry range
tell us that very noticeable returns
can he seen due to the addition of
droppings to the soil.

Moisture for Grapes Is
Shown to Be Important

There Is an old saying to the effect
that it takes five years to produce
grape vine. / have found that this
is generally true where the grapes
are allowed to grow under ordinary
conditions, says a writer in the Sue
cessful Farming. Where they are
given plenty of moisture the first two
years, however, the time can be ma
terially lessened and the vines brought
to bearing a season or two sooner
than where they are allowed to shift
for themselves.
Three years ago, set out two dozen
vines for the purpose of supplying the
family table with grapes. Most Of
these were trained along the garden
fence where they were given only
ordinary care during the growing sea-
son
Three vines, however, were trained
over a trellis near chicken house.
It happened that whenever the wa
ter pans in the poultry house were
emptied that l always threw the wa
ter around the roots Of these three
vines. One of them. which was more
convenient than the others received
more of the water.
These three vines outgrew the
others, so that there was no COM
garrison. In fact, one seasons growth
was equal to two for those having
ordinary care. The one vine having
more moisture than the others came
into bearing the third season, and 1t
produced as good a crop as any fully
matured vines you ever saw.
The explanation is in the fact that
grapes need lot Of moisture When
they are fully matured the roots have
tapped the subsoil where they have
an abundant supply at all times.
Where the vines are supplied suf-
ficient moisture while the roots are
getting down to the subsoil. they
will also make growth and hasten
their production time.

Low-Grade Fruit
Should Be Dried
Serves to Increase Returns
by Utilizing Product Elk
cluded From Market.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
The practice Of evaporation of fruits
when developed in any given territory
serves to increase orchard returns by
converting fruit excluded from market
grades by superficial blemishes into
salable products and to maintain fresh
fruit prices by absorbing portion Of
the marketable grades in years Of
overproduction. The drying of fruits
as practiced att the present time is
largely farm industry carried on by
the gruit growers themselves as part
of the routine of harvesting and dis
posing of the crop. The plants in
which the work is done are mainly
small. their size being most frequently
determined by the size Of the own
er's orchard, and there Is great d.
versity in the drying apparatus, the
accessory equipment, and the details
Of drying methods employed, with
consequent absence of definite stand
ardization of the product. This would
be expected in view of the fact that
252, 289 farms reported the production
of dried fruits in the census of 1919.
The primary need of the industry is
for such Standardization of equip
ment and application of labor-saving
devices to the handling of the mate
rial as will enable the production of a
better grade Of product at lower costs.
Types Of Evaporators.
Various types of artificially heated
evaporators found by test Of actual
use to be best suited to specific pur-
poses are described in detail in De-
partment Bulletin 1141, just issued by
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture on evaporation of fruits. The
bulletin includes description of model
installations Of labor-saving machinery,
as well as a somewhat full discussion
Of improved methods of handling the
various fruits in preparation for dry
ing as well as during the drying proc
ess. The drying installations are the
most modern in character, but are of
such moderate size and cost as to be
suited to the means and needs Of a
particular case.
Community Plant Suggested.
In many communities in which grow
ing of fruit is not a primary industry
the aggregate quantity of unmarked
able fruit may be such as to make ad-
visable the construction of a COM
munity drying plant to which every
grower in the vicinity may bring his
surplus to be worked up. A number
of considerations, which should be
kept clearly in mind when the project
of community or cooperative evapo-
rator is under discussion, are men-
toned. Those interested in the SUBJ
ject of evaporation of fruits will find
this bulletin of value and may secure
copy as long as the supply lasts by

ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.

Spraying From Ground
to Kill Apple Aphids

Entomologists at the New York ex-
pertinent station assert that 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to control aphids on
apple trees unless a systematic meth
cd is followed in spraying each tree.
In experiments conducted in apple Or
chards in western New York, it was
found that when spraying was done
from the top of the spray tank the re-
suits were quite uncertain, due to the
fact that the insects congregated on
the lower branches Of the trees, where
the spray mixture failed to reach them.
At the same time, in orchards where
the station spray system was followed,
in which the spraying was done from
the ground and under the trees, prac-
tically complete control Of the pests
was accomplished.
In the station method, the spray
outfit is equipped with sufficient
length of hose to enable the nozzle
man to work from the ground and I'M
der the tree. He then takes up GER
tain designated positions in spraying
each tree, which insures the spray
mixture reaching the under side of
every branch and twig. BY moving
from place to place. and by maintain
ing a pressure of at least 200 pounds
at the spray tank. 1t is claimed that
each tree can be completely covered
in a relatively short time. The sta
ton tests and spray system are fully
described in Bulletin 4S7, which may
be obtained from the station free of
charge.
