How to Be Successful in
Starting Berry Patches

The dewberry is sort of trailing
blackberry and in order to facilitate
their picking, as well as fruiting, set
them about feet apart with single
wire trellis on each side for the vines
to trail over. This wire should be
raised about 2 feet above the ground,
supported by stakes.
The rows should be 5 or 6 feet apart
as the plants are good runners" Give
good cultivation until vines shade the
ground, when weeds will no longer
bother them.
Both the blackberry and red rasp-
berry are Of the sprouting or sucker
character and should be planted in
rows to Z feet apart so that the
suckers can grow and form a more or
less matted row. The blackberries,
being Of coarser growth, should be
wider apart than the red raspberries.
Cultivate well for first two or three
years, and always maintain narrow
middle between the rows to facilitate
the picking. AS the young canes reach
a height of about 3 feet clip or pinch
their tips, so as to cause the side
branches to form. This will give you
greater surface of fruiting wood, and
lessen the tendency to whip about.
After the berries are gone the bear
ing canes die away, being replaced
each year by the new canes from the
roots. These old canes should be cut
out and removed before another sea-
son.
A northern slope, or partially shaded
location is an advantage TO the black
berry particularly. Liberal mulchings
Of straw, leaves or coarse manure
about bearing canes are great lid to
prevent berries drying up during the
heat Of the ripening period.-L. O. Will
liams, In Nebraska Farm Journal.

Warehouse Act
Of Big Benefit
Much Money Being Loaned
to Organizations and
Farmers on Receipts.
prepared by the United States Department
of ARriculturel


prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
Hundreds of millions of dollars are
Ing organizations and individual farm
ers on the basis Of warehouse receipts
issued by warehousemen licensed
under the United States warehouse act,
reports HI. S. Yohe of the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
which lie charged with administration
of the set.
co-aperatives Using Receipts
Among the prominent co-operstives
using licensed receipts in negotiating
loans at their stored commodities are
the Burley Tobacco Growers Co-opera-
tive association; the Dark Tobacco
Growers Cooperative association;
the Tobacco Growers Cooperative As

lions, and the Georgia Peanut Grow
ers' Cooperative association.
The act now provides for the issu-
ance Of warehouse receipts for cot
ton, WOOL tobacco, grain, farmers
stock peanuts, late potatoes, broom
corn, dry beans, and dried fruit. Any
public warehousemen who can estab-
lish to the satisfaction Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture that they are
trustworthy, competent financially re-
sponsible, and have proper storage IA
cilities, may be licensed to store these
products.
Accepted as Collateral.
So favorably does the banking fra
ternity view the receipts issued by
the federally licensed warehousemen
that many banks accept the receipts
as collateral without question, Mr..
Yohe says. The intermediate Credit
banks, the Federal Reserve banks, and
many leading commercial bankers have
expressed preference for the receipts.
Cooperative associations which store
their products with warehousemen IL
censed under the act obtain preferred
receipt which gives them wider field
of credit and frequently better inter-
est rates.
The receipt is definite contract be-
tween the depositor and the ware
houseman, showing among other things
the exact quantity Of the product In
trusted to the warehouseman, its grade,
variety and condition. Any incum-
ORANGES against the goods stored must
be clearly shown. The federally IL
censed warehousemen are subject to
examination prior to licensing and are
under constant government supervi-
sion thereafter, under plan Of super
vision similar to that used by the
United States Treasury department in
the supervision of national banks.

Hardening Hotbed Plants

Plants raised in hotbeds, cold frames
or in boxes in the house need to be
hardened OFF, before they are trans
planted into the open ground. The
box may be moved from the window
and set outdoors during the warmer
portions of the day, while the sash on
the frames should be removed wholly
or in part whenever the weather per-
mits, being taken off permanently as
soon as possible. This is as soon as
danger of frosts is past. In this man.
ner the plants become thoroughly ac-
customed to outdoor conditions before
they are set in the open ground.

GROW QUALITY PEAS;
GET BETTER PRICES


eff Wisconsin is COINS to sell her
millions of cases of peas each year.
it is essential that the quality be kept
as high as possible declares r. E..
Vaughan of the plant pathology de-
partment, Wisconsin College of Agri-
culture.
Back in 1921 but 4,063,0 900 cases
were canned in Wisconsin. In 1924 a
total of 100000 cases we're put on
the market which was tremendous
increase over the previous figure.
During the last year, the United States
production was 19,315,O00 cases. To
+ Wisconsin, therefore, may be accred-
tied "a per cent of the total yield In
the entire nation.
Just what might these millions of
cans do if put side by side? Start
ing at Madison, Wis, seven cans
abreast would make solid row ex-
tending across the continent to San
Francisco. And if row of single
cans were formed 1t would extend
nearly around the world. Such num-
bers seem impossible but this is what
Wisconsin produced in 1924.
1t was difficult in the beginning of
the pea industry to produce good quail
were not steamed enough, swelling
took place and the cans would burst.
There was danger of too much heat
being applied which resulted in pro-
ducing a muddy liquor from the peas
bursting. This lowered the quality.
The consumers wanted whole pea
with a clear liquor. Finally the prob
lem was solved by experimental work
undertaken by Dean Russell of the
Wisconsin experiment station. He
found that a heat Of 240 degrees
Fahrenheit for % to 80 minutes might
be used, which would not break up the
peas, but still sufficient heat to kill
the gas-forming bacteria which might
be present.
"And the present system Of canning
has been greatly improved continues
Vaughan "Where, but 30 or 60 cans
could be filed and sealed in min
ute by single man, 100 to 125 cans
may now be filled in the same length
Of time by the new up-to-date
process"
There are at present more than 40
pea canning factories throughout Wis
consin The coming year will find
seven or eight more added to It's credit.
These will be needed to meet the In
crease in pea growing which is becom-
ing greater each. year.
"Now, If quality is to be obtained,
the right kind of pea must be select
ed" suggested Vaughan. "The pea
should be resistant to root rot (the
most common disease) and yet meet
the right standard Of quality" To
meet this demand, the Horal variety
has been introduced. This new vari-
ETY. was developed at the Ashland
branch station by crossing the Hors-
| ford and Alaska.
With more than $5,OO0,00O coming to
wisconsin farmers in 1924 from the
pea industry alone, it is for their bene-
fit that a quality pea may be grown.
If millions Of cases of peas are to be
grown each year, it is of vital impor-
lance that the consumers fancy is
met. Quality alone is the big selling
card that will put across big sales.

Not All Hawks Are Bad

Hawks, many have thought, have no
right to live. But hawks, it seems,
like crows, are not altogether as black
as they are often painted. An excep-
ton may be made in case where an
individual hawk is Enthusiastically de-
tected in the midst of stealing small
chicken or doing some other mischief.
There are many species of hawks and
many of them are actually beneficial
to the farmer, because they destroy
field mice, rats and other rodents. The
comparatively little damage done by
the species which prey on chickens or
insectivorous birds does not warrant
the wholesale slaughter of hawks re-

In selecting seed for vegetables 1t is
a good plan to be sure that you are

with responsible seedsmen, If you
have not saved seed from your own
plants. In the latter event you know
just what to expect.

Dairy Cows Must Pay for
Extensive Feed Bills


A dairy cow that fails to return
$3.50 for every dollar spent on her
feed is seldom worth keeping. That
means she must produce 5000 pounds
of milk each year at present prices,
according to an analysis of cow-testing
association figures in a northwestern
Ohio county. S. M. Salisbury, animal
husbandry specialist at Ohio State
university, estimates that more than
20 per cent of the dairy cows Of Ohio
ought to be discarded because they are
not returning an adequate profit above
feed costs. There are many cows on
other farms, also, that should be dis
carded because they are improbable.
The use of the scales and Babcock
tester will single them out.

Reasons for Cultivating

The purposes of garden cultivation
are to kill weeds, to allow air to reach
the roots Of plants and to break up
soil particles, releasing plant food to
the feeding rootlets. Frequent shall
low cultivation should be practiced
during dry weather The soil should
always be cultivated as soon as it can
be safely worked after heavy rains.
otherwise a crust forms, the surface
makes. and the crops are injured.

Potatoes for Mich Cows

A heavy allowance of potatoes pro-
duces milk of poor flavor. They may
be used with success, however, when
not over 80 to 80 pounds of raw tubers
are fed a day to cow. A slightly
larger allowance Of cooked potatoes
may be fed.

Preparing the Soil

j In England and France gardeners
are far ahead of our American garden
ers in soil preparation. When spading
their land for planting they fork it
over very carefully, mixing in quaint
ties Of manure so carefully that 1t be-
comes incorporated in the soil itself.
Because Of this careful preparation
these European gardeners are able
sometimes to grow more OF one acre
than our American gardeners grow Oh
five acres.

Pure Bred Sires Pay

The average increase of financial re-
turns traceable to the use of pure bred
sires was 48 per cent on 331 farms
surveyed by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture recently. The
profitable returns are due largely to
the fact that pure bred sire gradual
lv improves an entire herd or flock.
