INCREASE PATCH Nearly 100 per centof such plants spring from some eyelet, on small. smooth root growing near the sur face, la the moisture just under the leafy mulch., and, while such plants will lire, the absence of small fibrous rootlets will retard growth, and set ybu 'back"1?rdb- ably two years. Had better wait a year It you can't get them soon er) and arrange for tip plants. This ia .important. ... Don't think because they are a wild plant they will 'get on all right without cultivation. On the contrary they require intense cul tivation. Shallow, of course, but regular and very frequent, under, such methods as best to conserve, the moisture, especially so it you do not Irrigate. Don't allow the new canes to grow into the space between rows. During their rapid growth in the early season the canes are exceed ingly tender and liable to break in contact while cultivating. Thfa starts a sucker at every leaf on the broken stem back to the ground that should be cut off, leaving only the last one to take the place, as best it may, of the parent stem. t ,The ground in rows Under trel lis should be well cultivated ana clean, before training ' young canes, which can be held down by stakes or preferably Wtth loops: Don't use clods for this purpose. In fact, you should have no clods to use. Don't go into blackberries un less you are willing to put more strenuous labor on an acre or ground than with anything you ever tackled. Don't go into blackberries with the idea that you will have any voice as to price of your fruit. Nothing we can produce is so wholly dependent on the, cannr for an, outlet; but, be it said to their credit, in the past they have given the producers a square deal. : Don't overlook the possibility, yes, and probability, of nurturing to a largely Increased tonnage the berry In its ' wild and natural haunts. ; A very little work, prun ing and training, would material ly increase the yield, and improve the quality in many places in woods and pastures.

A, C. the Only Insti tution Conducting Horti- . ' cultural Experiments The department of industrial journalism of the Oregon Agricul tural college sends the following to The Statesman: "You have something in your horticultural products investiga tions no other institution in the United States has," writes C. I. Lewis, managing editor of the American Fruit Grower, Chicago. The Fruit Grower has just pub lished a three-page illustrated article on the work of the experi ment station laboratory in better canning, drying and otherwise preserving perishable fruits and vegetables, including the new re circulation prune dryer. ' The editor says this story is very in teresting and readalble and will be of interest to growers all over the country. "I believe you would do well to give a great deal of publicity to this work because there is tre mendous interest in it all over the United States," the editor writes. "I have been hoping It will be supported in a nice way on the experimental side so you can go ahead and capitalize the present building for experiments as well as teaching." This new work was started a few years ago and has already de veloped many new facts of inter est about jam, jelly and dried products, and closer use of culls, and waste products of manufac ture. E. II. Wiegand is in charge. BUTTER AND CREESE And Factory Managers Have round That They Must Have Trained Men The following are a couple or paragraph of a current bulletin ol.i the "department of Industrial journalism of the Oregon Agri cultural college: "Oregon dairy factory manag ers have found that quality of products as well as economy of operation depends largely on the quality.. o5 their butter, cheese and ice-cream makers, and are interested " In 'the manufacture courses at the college. "Only experienced men have been admitted until recently when the ban against inexperience was lifted - and untrained men may have the benefit of special courses beginning January 2- Skilled ' help is scarce, and fac tory managers may aid their own business" by finding suitable raw material for training to do the WltFJ WATCH OREGON m NEED THE EVERGREEN BLACKBERRY INDUSTRY The evergreen badkberry industry of the Sa lem district is the youngest of our basis indus tries And it has already taken a very important place here as a money crop And as a crop yielding sure profits to the growers, The canneries of Salem handled the past sea son '2 50, 000 pounds of these berries; 85,000 cases of 30 pounds to the case- And the evergreen has also a' market outlet through the barrelled berry trade; an outlet that is capable of unlimited expansion. The evergreen is the great pre berry; it stands up in a pie and looks good--and it is good. The market may have to be extended in the future, as it may be by judicious handling and ad vertising bat for the present supply the demand is sufficient CASCADE BRAND HAMS BACON AND LARD NEARLY HALF THE EVERGREEN PACK OF OREGON IS PUT UP HERE IN SALEM The Prices of Evergreens in Cans at the Beginning of the Season Higher Than the Prices of Loganberries, But It Is Now About Neck and Neck, with the Race Slightly in Favor of the Evergreen Blackberries A Great Future for the Blackberry Industry. The Salem canneries during the ' past season put up 85,000 cases of evergreen blackberries, 30 pounds to the case, making a total of 2,550,000 pounds of blackber ries. Their pack of loganberries was 150,000 cases; and this shows how the evergreen blackberry In dustry is gaining in the Salem dis trict; for, only a few years ago, the evergreen blackberry was re garded as a pest here, and as un worthy of the room it had pre empted in various pastures and fields and wooded places. Nearly Half Oregon's Pack This 35,000 cases was not half the pack of all Oregon the past season. But it was not far from half. Some evergreen blackberries were also put into barrels tin Salem the past season; not many; perhaps 150 barrels would cover that part of the pack here. The northwest, which means In this case western Oregon and western Washington, canned 520,- 000 cases of loganberries in 1920. The pack for the northwest In 1922 was perhaps close to 600, 000 cases. So It may be seen that Wash ington puts up more evergreen blackberries than does Oregon, and In Washington they are near ly all cultivated berries. There are very few wild ones in Wash ington. Perhaps 35 per cent of all the pack of the northwest represented for the past season wild berries One eood authority says it was not over 35 per cent. Compared with Loganberries The price of evergreen black berries in cans opened the pres ent season about 50 cents a dozen cans higher than that of logan berries. In the ' jobbing trade.

High St, at Trade SALEM, OREGON Loganberries have gained, how ever, and the price Is now about fifty-fifty, with a slight lead in most markets as yet f5r the ever green blackberries. ' Prices to Producers The producers of evergreen blackberries in the Salem district haoTthe best of it the past season, as compared with the growers of loganberries. Roughly, the price of the evergreen berries was 5 cents a pound, and of loganber ries 4 cents a pound. Conditions at the present time tend to promise a close race in prices to the producers in the fu ture. There is a good demand in the great pie trade for the ever green blackberry, and this will no doubt continue, and grow. And jobbers throughout the country also report an increasing demand for loganberries in their various marketable forms And there are appearances now of a closer organization of the loganberries, for the purpose of realizing living prices and making them certain, and otherwise stab ilizing the industry. If this ef fort shall succeed, and it it shall persist in an organized form that is efficient, there will be a great future for the loganberry indus try; and perhaps "it will show the ay for the stabilizing of the evergreen blackberry industry, when the time comes that wider markets will be needed for taking care of the increasing surplus; and there will surely be a rapidly growing surplus.

It Is important that the birds go to roost with a good full crop during cold weather. A little extra grain in a trough an hour after the regular grain leeV ing at night will help to obtain this condition. It takes more fuel for the hen's furnace during cold weather and heavy produc tion than when the birds are molt ing and setting. O. A. C. Experi ment station.
