MILLER A Leading Salem Grower Tells How He Handle's His Evergreen Berries (Following is part.jpf an ar ticle In the "Oregon Grower" of last February the magazine of the Oregorf-;TJrowertf Cooperative association, It is by O. A. Milter, a leading Salem fruit grower: In the spring of 1916 i got the blackberry bug. I had been grow, ing logans. It was some time in May and pretty late , ttt se$ , ber ries, but I wanted to plant them out. We went fo thf wnnda nn picked our plants. I Hrmijr .be lieve there is quite a difference in the plants that are growing wild in the woods as to-bearing Quali ties. ' We lined our yard off some eight feet apart and set plants IS feetIn the row. I notice rome advocate planting 16 to 18 feet apart and In some cases as high as 20 feet, but I ' think that it is too far apart, even, though I have to cut our vines back several feet. , The second year we cut the vines back' to probably 30 Inches In length so we could ' cultivate them . both ways again, and ob tained an excellent growth. That yeaJr we averaged three pretty good; ones to the hill. The fol lowing year we set our posts' dur ing the early winter ' We had our berries 12 feet apart, our posts 36 feet apart in the row. Evergreens Produce Well , We used an Inch to an inch and a half piece of board,- preferably a full inch thick, with a notih cut in each end, as a spreader for the wires and a rest for the vines. We weave our vinei to and over. MR 0F ;NE1 Pieces or Broken Lots of Splendid Qualities Sale "SHOP EARLY''; Tnfiav V AT $2 1 9 The 'third, yearwe harvested' a crop of about two tons to the acre. In 1919, owing to the freeze, we got less than -three toiuf to the; acre. This past year.fe last crop we got just about four tons bat as you all know, we had an exceedingly dry season, and the evergreen doesn't agree with Vol stead -in 'any particular.. It is a wet plant, it revels, it thrive -in dampness. You can hardly-fget water enough to hurt it doting certain seasons of the year. We plow thoroughly, as early in the spring as practical. ' -We plow deep at the center and" fiat-' low near the row. We don't fair plow our ground because "we bow vetch each year. Then we disc the ground. Next we follow through with a grape hoe. It has a shear on the beam and , disc with lever to guide it by. You can shoot it in and out as you pass your plants. i a great labor saving device. The bulk of your fruit is just a -little ways' beyond your top wire; that is, about four and. a half feet. The farther away you get from the crown the smaller the berries. In pruning our black berries we cut eight to ten feet off of some of them. IT IS WOO Every Truit Grower Here Should Have Some Ever green Blackberries (Wm T. Egan of Gervais, one of the leading farmers' of the whole Salem district, had the fol lowing to say in a number of The Statesman a couple of years ago. and, on account . of several pieces of information he gave, his words are worth reproduction, as follows:) "In response to your kind invi tation to write a few words about the evergreen blackberry, beg to submit' the followihg . brief thoughts: "It is a prevalent opinion that this splendid, luscious and pro lific berry is a native of Oregon. This has riot been my experience,' as I paid 50cents fonne plant 43 years ago. Being alone, It grew slowly In pollentzation and for a long time was not prolific.

Georges Clemeneean at the, tomb of the Unknown Soldier In tha Arlington National Cemetery, Washington, D. O, where he placed a wreath He was accompanied by Col. Stephen Bonsol, once in full bearing the birds soon scattered the seeds over the farm a nd the plants were v lgorous. 1 found I had no profitable market for them and felt they were a menace tea the farm. "They lied up the long wooled sheep and - were, almost certain death to ' the ' Angora goat when his wool was long. "I successfully controlled them in this manner: Cut off the Vines, shear the goats, turn them into the pasture you want cleared and the Work is done. "Therefore, there n-eed be no fear of taking them on your farm that they cannot be controlled. At present the berry seems to have pollenized with our wfjd na tive blackberry, which has no peer f6r flavor, and is now a very profitable berry with a world mar-J ket. "When allowed to grow in pas ture and wood lands, it is best to prune the vines to about four feet, just before picking time; this relieves the pickers from the very unpleasant tangling of the laterals in thetr clothes and ren ders the work pleasant and speedy, besides the bush the fol lowing year sends out a cluster of short ' vines about the same length, larger berries and more prolific. They make a very good link in the chain of diversified farming; following closely after the loganberry. "I would not advise as exten sive an area of them as of the logans, for this reason: The lo ganberry comes on in our valley just when the boys and girls are fresli from school; the parents are ready to take their vacation; the business men and women want a short outing. It is just before the grain, Bartlett pears and hops are on, or the children called back to school, therefore, we can handle a larger area of logans, even if they were' not In so much demand. A strong ar gument in favor of the blackberry is the small expense of cultiva tion compared with any other berry." Every Artisan to Get Present Thursday Night A Christmas party for the whole of the .Artisan lodge there are 500 ot them, too is to be held at the lodge room in the Odd Fellows hall Thursday night. It is a night of events all around with the Artisans for they have election of officers and their .Christmas party and tree, and a regular feed to finish it all. The annual custom of giving presents to every member is to be adhered to. Every member is to have a present to give and another to get, to cost not more than 15 cents. It is the day when tha snapping turtle toys and the loaded cigars and the kerosened candy and ' the lrapos- Dr. Jack Starts Saturday MORNING, DECEMBER 21, sible red necktie hold sway. Every member is also request ed by the Master Artisan to bring one pound of something worth while. It might eventual ly go to the Red Cross or te Salvation army, or into the Ar tisan stew-kettle for their own party dinner, but it will be too good a cause for mere jokes whatever it is. Ice water is not conducive to heavy egg production. A little extra labor in supplying luke warm water on cold mornings is well repaid by a presentable egg basket. O.A.C.
