A Hint for Raspberry Growers

While the owner of a good look
ing raspberry patch may have his
eyes fixed on the 1887 crop, he
should also be considering the 1888
crop, says E. E. Isaac, extension
horticultnrist at Montana State coll
lege He explains that the new
canes which are coming up from
the crowns are the ones that will
bear the 1888 crop. Only the most
vigorous and healthy of these canes
should be saved and the others re-
moved From five to seven canes
to hill with the hills spaced about
three feet apart in rows six to eight
feet apart, will as a rule give a
maximum yield of good quality
fruit The other canes should be
removed and the patch weeded and
kept clean by shallow cultivation.
In fact, Isaac adds, shallow and
timely cultivation is now in order
for the entire farm garden. 1t is
also good time to lay in a supply
Of spray materials SO that the bat
tie against insects may be started as
soon as they become active.
