Raspberries Subject to
Troublesome Ailments

The red raspberry, as well as the
~biackcap, is subject to II number of
diseases, neglect Of which may prove
to be quite troublesome, but If healthy
plants are secured. Ii should be pos
sible to keep the plantation in q
healthy condition for quite a number
at yeas, aud they will be found quite

Ii is mol quite uncommon TO find
fields Of the ~blackcap raspberries
which have been frulting 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.
II 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.

Campaign Among Farmers

poor grades of butter are urged by A.
j. Mcclure, dairy specialist with the
agricultural extension division OF the
University of Minnesota, to put on an
educational campaign among their
patrons for improving the quality of
their cream.
Interest can be aroused in having
all cream delivered at least twice a
week and in improving the methods
on the farms for greater care and
cleanliness SO that pure sweet cream
will be delivered" he says. 'The wide
difference In price between good and

Cane Fruits Need Care
After Crops Harvested

AS soon as the crops Of blackber-

harvested, the old vines should be cut
out and burned. These old vines carry
over many disastrous diseases. Any
plant that looks suspicious In any
blackberry or raspberry patch should
be burned, Summer pruning can be
carried on In the young canes Of black
berries and black raspberries. As
soon as the canes are two or three
feet high they should be pinched

laterals become too rangy, they can
be cut back slightly In the spring of
