HANDLING SMALL FRUITS.
Prof. C. I. Lewis, of OAC, has
furnished the following excellent
suggestions for handling the
corning crop of small fruits:
The rush of the strawberry'
season will soon be over and the
fresh raspberries, blackberries,
phenomenal berries, and logan
berries will supply the market
with berry fruits. At times the
prices received for these fruits
have been very low, generally
due to several causes, such as
poor cultivation, which always
means hard, seedy, 6mall and
sour fruit; poor methods of hand
ling; and improper distribution.
I will not deal with cultivation
problems in this article. Suffice
it to say that only with intensive
cultivation and a good supply of
humus can the large luscious
fruits be grown. As regards
methods of handling the crop
BEGINS
THE REASON
We hold this sale for two reasons:
First All summer stocks are in our
way and we shall disregard all thoughts
of cost or profit to clear.
Second We bought fall shipments
of geineral merchandise to be delivered
one month earlier than usual ; these are
already crowding us and we rmisi have
room.

considerable can be said. Let
us take the red raspberry for ex
ample. With proper methods
this fruit can be sent as far as
St. Paul and Chicago in good
condition. To have fruit ship
safely such a distance it should
be picked in the cool of the day
and only a few berries should be
held in the hand at any one
(time. Never expose the fruit to
the hot sun. Do all the grading
and packing under cover and
use carriers of small capacity in
transferring the fruit from the
berry patch to the packing shed
Keep the berries picked as fast
as they s.ie mature. This will
mean as soon as they will come
from the vine. The red Ant
werp can often be picked before
it becomes real red. If one no
tices overripe berries in a basket
never remove thern by hand but
remove with some instrument as
a toothpick. Where one uses
the hand the heat and the weight
often destroy much of the fri it,
making it worthless for shipment
Raspberries can be sent quite
successfully by ponv express
These hold about two and one
half crates and are supplied with
'an ice box on the top which is
.frequently replenished but un
doubtedly if we are to ship large
amounts of small fruits we must
install precooling . plants. In
these the fruit is thoroughly
chilled before placing in the
car. The car also has been thor
oughly chilled and packed with
ice. It is found that this prac
tice is really a great saving of
ice and that the fruit arrives in
a bright fresh condition.
Blackdap raspberries are hand
led in much the same way as the
red raspberries, but they are not
quite so soft and handle a little
better. When properly grown
there is a good demand for them ;
in fact", the supply is not equal
to the demand at the present
time. In, several places th rough-

the Northwest a splendid busi
ness is being built up in drying
s-rall fruits. I will take this
matter up in a future article.
Did you ever eat a ripe black
berry? Few persons have ever
done so, for the majority of the
fruit that is found in our mar
ket is picked while it is yet veiry
hard and green and consequent
ly very tart and often unattract
ive. There is a fine opportunity
hear every city to build up a re
tail business with blackberries.
To do this, allow the berries toj
hang on the vines until they are
full grown, thoroughly black and
sweet. A basket of such fruit is
in great demand. Of course,
such soft-fruit will not stand
long shiping but if you will ri
pen your fruit thoroughly on
the vines you will not need to
worry about slapping. Local
demand will handle all your
product. There is, however, a
very limited demand for a hard, tie, 50,000 sheep and nearly 3000

is not the case. For the past
few weeks Portland, Seattle and
Spokane have been receiving lo
ganberries from California, and
in the past some of our growers
have sent the fruit far north
as Idaho and Montana. For
such long shipments, however,
the fruit must be picked while
still very firm. Soft loganberries
ship a very short distance, but
for local trade, to be eaten fresh,
the berries can be allowed to ri
pen fully on the vines. For jelly
purposes the1 firm berries are
preferred. '
Our small fruit growers need
to organize more. Especially is
this true in the Willamette val
ley, Oregon. With proper or
ganization much better prices
will be realized, for better dis
tribution would be insured. For

A GOOD SIZED RANCH.
It is an acknowledged fact
than many women are shining
lights in the strenuous ranch
life of the West. Mrs. Harriet
King has a little realm of her
own down in Southern Texas
She is the sole owner and actual
manager of . Santa- Gertrudis
ranch, near Corpus Christi. This
ranch is as large as the state of
Deleware, and nearly twice as
large as Rhode Island. It would
hold 10 cities the size of great
er New York. One may ride for
90 miles in a straight line and
yet remain within the barbed
wire fence which encloses every
acre of Mrs. King's domain. Up-
on its pastures graze 100,000 cat-
000 for Santa Gertrudis, and she
laughed at their valuation and
refused to consider the possibil
ity of a sale.
Santa Gertrudis is divided in
to twelve districts, each presided
over by a foreman, and he is
held responsible for the conduct
of the business of the territory
under his jurisdiction. Mrs.
King never loosens the reigns
