clean cultivation from time of setting
until time of fruiting, and the applica-
ton of 200 pounds of sulphate of am
monia on the two acres at the beginning
of the growing season.
As check OF the value of the nitro
gen application, two rows of plants were
left unfertilized. These plants bore less
and smaller fruit which ripened ten days
later than fruit on plants in the re-
mainder of the field.
Fruit produced by the fertilized plants
in addition to being earlier and larger
was also of better quality.
Raspberries have continued to be a
profitable crop for Mr.. Shreve for five
years. Many of his neighbors have taken
up growing them, and have met with
success. These men are demonstrating
that small fruit has possibilities as cash
crop under conditions such as prevail in
Upshur county.

Face Lifting In the
Uegetuble HvM

HE old variety store slogan, IF you
L don't see what you want, ask for
it," is admirably applicable to present day
seed breeding and vegetable develop
ment.
Vegetable consumers have said again
and again, in effect, 1--WE don't like this
vegetable with such short edible root,
or we want thicker fleshed tomato"
They did not see what they wanted, so
they asked for it.
Fortunately, as consumers began max
ing their demands, seedsmen began ac
quiring the ability to alter the size, shape
and other characteristics of vegetables,
and flowers and fruits as well.
The rather plebeian pepper provides
an interesting example. Not long ago
the pepper was somewhat non-descript in
shape and one of its principal character
istics was its crinkled, creviced exterior.
Today the housewife may buy pep
per with an almost smooth exterior, one
which causes the grower no cleaning and
busting worries. The flesh is thickened
and firm. These qualities are provided
in a pepper of uniform, squarish shape.
OF course, the scotsman cannot in all
cases say to vegetable consumers, Tell
me what you want and I'll get it for
you." He cannot, for instance, make
celery all edible stalk and no foliage,
He can and has, however greatly in
creased the proportion of edible stalk to
leafy top. He has developed celery va
rieties which are uniformly brittle. He
has likewise reduced the amount of fol-
iage on certain carrot varieties. made
the shape of the edible root less tapering,
more equally round and with blunt
end, for housewives prefer them of this
shape for table use and canning.
He has stretched and heightened the
cucumber and changed the color of GER
Flesh of the California wonder pep
per is much thicker than that of peppers
widely used years ago.

TOR five years c. E. Shreve has held
L the title of Raspberry King" of
Upshur county, West Virginia, and has
probably been entitled to it for the state
as whole. But what is more important,
this crop has solved the problem of m
creasing his farm income sufficiently to
enable him to maintain an adequate
standard of living.
Mr. Shreve began by setting out two
acres of raspberries in 1920. The second
year he marketed 1850 gallons of ber-
ries from this field, or 625 gallons per
acre. His largest single picking from
the two acres that season yielded All
gallons.
Twenty-Five to 80 pickers were en-
ployed during the busiest part of the
picking season. Mr.. Shreve was kept
busy recording the pick of each worker,
packing, and checking the weights of
crates.
Factors contributing to this success
included an excellent stand of healthy

the newer carrot strains.
tain cucumber strains He produces egg
plant fruits of more elongated shapes,
revises shapes of cabbages and performs
hundreds of similar alterations of vege-
table varieties. But this process of vege-
table face-lifting requires time.
Often the wants of the consuming
public are not understandable. Growers
were inconvenience, in the case of the
crook-neck squash, by packing difficulties.
Seedsmen supposed housewives would be
happy to have the awkward crook re-
moved from the squash.
So they proceeded with their botani-
cal surgery. They achieved their objec-
tive. But did the consumer like it? Their
affection for the crook-neck squash re-
manned firm. To this day this ugly duck
ling squash is far more popular than his
refined relative.
The Florida High Bush Egg plant Is
known for its ability to support elongated
fruits from the ground.
