Mitchell, Lewii & Staver Co., Portland, Oregon
Dear Sirs: Your letter of June 12, received Saturday. Will say in reply that the
Champion rake is the best I have ever tried. It gave me entire satisfaction, especial
ly in very heavy hay. Anyone needing a Rake cannot do better than to purchase a
Champion. Yours truly, JNO. W. BENNETT
Champion Tedders Tire Fine Kickers
There is no question but
what the use of a tedder
increases the value of grain.
It makes it cure much more
quickly and in a more thor
ough manner. It insures
sweet smelling hay, which
is worth more for feeding.
The Champion tedder is
well made and will give the
very best possible service.
Does Good Work
Nahcotta, Wash., June 18, 1908
Mitchell, Lewis & Staver Co., Portland, Oregon.
Gentlemen: Replving to your inquiry as to how the Champion Tedder suited me, would say that I found it to
do very good work. Last hay season was-a bad, damp time, but by the aid of the tedder I put up my hay in the
best shape and with the least labor in my experience. The tedder is light to pull and easy to manipulate, and ap
pears to be strongly built, so there is not much liklihood of breakage. Yours truly, F. L. SARGENT ...

SHIPPING BERRIES.
ii
The rush of the strawberry season
will soon be over and the fresh rasp
berries, blackberries, phenomenal ber
ries 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 culti
vation, which' always means hard,
' seedy, small and sour fruit; poor
methods of handling; and improper
distribution. I will not deal with cul
tivation problems in this article. Suf
fice it to say that only with inten
sive cultivation and a good supply of
humus can the large luscious fruits
be grown. As regards mothods of han
dling the crop considerable can be
said. Let us take the red raspberry
for example. 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 dis
tance it sould be picked in the cool
of the day and ojily 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 pick
ed as fast as they are mature. This
will mean as soon as they will come
I from the vine. The red Antwerp can
often be picked before it becomes red.
If one notices over-ripe berries in a
basket never remove them by hand
but remove with some Instrument as
a toothpick. Where one uses the haud
the heat and the weight often des
troys much of the fruit, making is
worthless for shipment. Raspberries
can be sent quite successfully by pony
express. ' These hold about two and
one-half crates and are supplied with
an ice box on the top which is fre
quently replenished but undoubtedly
if we are to ship large amounts of
small fruits we must install precoo
lng plants. In these th6 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 practice is real
ly a great saving of ice and that the
fruit arrives in a bright fresh condi
tion. (Continued in next issue.)
irrigation, but by keeping the water
supply sufficient during a longer per
iod you will get a better development
of tubers.
Undeveloped Resources.
There are in the United States
80,000,000 acres of swamp land which
will be as arable as a garden when
they are drained. This swamp land
would provide homes for and support
10,000,000 people. There are In the
United States millions upon millions
of arid and semi-arid lands, which
irrigation could make and is mak
ing very fertile. These lands will
support 15,000,000 households, or
twice the population of New York
State. These are what may be call
ed the lost lands; land lost to tho
public through the lack of knowledge
of how to handle their pecular form
ation. Only 20 per cent of Uncle
Sam's lands are yielding living av
erages. What of the rest? Conser
vation says every acre, every foot of
every acre, must be made produc
tive of something. If you can't grow
crops, grow trees! If you can't drain
swamps grow cranberries- and mat
ting reeds! If you can't irrigate then
practice dry farming! If you can't
farm rocks, then harness their cat
aracts into water power! As to the
lands lost to, the public through fraud,
conservation says: "Take them back
for the public or charge their full
price for the public."
And you are still only at the be
gining of conservation's big program."

ABOUT POTATOES.
We know no way to keep potatoes
from sprouting except by using cold
storage. When a potato is kept at
ordinary temperatures the growth will
start when the time comes, in spite
of all that you can do to It; but by
lowering the temperature below the
growing point sprouting can be de
ferred for some time. It is, of course,
an expensivo operation, which deal
ers In potatoes resort to whenever
they think the situation invites spec
ulation. We do not think it is an
undertaking for a grower to indulge
in.
The tendency of potatoes to co to
tops without making tubers has never
been satisfactoryily explained. It is
known, however, to occur in different
parts of the state, particularly where
the potato makes a good top growth
while the moisture remains from the
rains, and then is lacking in moisture
owing to the drying out of the land.
You should try the effect of irrigation
just before the plant begins to show
distress by changing color of the leaf.
When that change takes place the
plant is too far gone to be helped by
