Schuster, Associate Professor of Pomology of the Oregon Agricultural College, Gives a Very Comylete Outline of the Industry and the Proper Cultural Meth ods for Producing Large Yields of the Best Berries Editor Statesman: With the heavy production of wild blackberries, the , develop ment of blackberry growing; will t necessarily go Plow. The greater part of the canned berries from Oregon are from the -wild black berry vines growing over the hills of western Oregon. The presence of a large amount of wild fruit will necessarily; tend to hold down the price of the cultivated prod uct. "As the trade in canned black berries develops, the demand for cultivated fruits will increase and according to that' demand will the planting; of the 'blackberry be de termined. Th cannerymen gen erally agree . that the fruit from the cultivated plantings is more uniform so that the eanned prod uct is also more uniforms " -:". Market Thrnh Canneries - The - market : tor blackberries will be through the cannerg, while most of j this canned mate rial will be nsed in pie factories in the. cast.

A llxme 813 A. IL Kelnay, Mgr,,? rvj ,; use a very large amount of black berries in the fresh state. Conse quently, the blackberry Industry must be bnilt up with the Idea of supplying blackberries for the can nery trade. Thisjwill mean largo acreage yield ' and low averago prices. The cannery trade as con cerns tho blackberry cannot ; pay such high prices as have been ob tained for other fruits,' so tho yield per acre must, be high to make up for low prices. . ' Godd Soil, ttood Yields . The blackberry, like other cane fruits, Is a 'heavy feeder ; If food li available for use. . . Especially is this the case with the- kind ot blackberries commonly grown in western Oregon. As the supply of plant food decreases from the optimum so the growth decreases, and - with this lack in growth comes a light, yield. Heavy yields are practically dependent on heavy annual cane growth, and this1 de mands fertile soil with good cul tural practices. t Without doubt the best soil is a sandy loam such as is found in tho river bottom locations. Other types of soli will .tbo suitable if tho fertility is maintained and. the moisture supply holds out through the season.' In this; connection a deep soil is preferable, though the blackberry ' is not a' deep-rooted plant when compared with the reg ular fruit trees. This depth of soil is necessary to maintain an even supply of moisture until the ripening season is over. If the moisture runs short, the small, seedy berry. so commonly found on the market Is the result, s t 'i;": Avoid low Wet Iands ; : It has often been suggested that since the wild blakberry grows abundantly along the : banks of streams, - where water supply Is close at hand, that the blackberry plantings could safely be placed in' the low wet soils of the valley. But while it Is true that we find blackberries growing along the streams and find the finest fruit under those conditions, it should be noted that this water is not standing water but free ' water, containing plenty of air and oxy gen. In the low wet lands', water Is not moving or free, but is stag nant water with no oxygen m It. Also, It comes up over the main roots during the. winter - time, drowning out tho lower roots. Un der these conditions the root sys tem will be confined to th,e upper layer of soli, and tgreatdlyX de creased below the requirements of the plant for maximum growth. Being forced to develop tberpot system only in the jpper - layers, the plants will be unable to bring up moisture - enough from the lower level, as the rootlets cannot be developed' fast enough to meet the water requirements o( the plant, especially ius the late sum mer when the fruit is" maturing and the warm weather comes on, when the plant will demand" large amounts of moisture. Must Maintain Fertility . Since the blackberries are heavy feeders, not only must the soil be fertile to begin wlth but the fer tility must be maintained at a high level. The use ot barnyard manure isr always advisable, but usually is not available in suffi cient quantity, ureen manures will then have to be substituted for barnyard manure because one of the best uses of manure is In aiding humus'. Special fertilizers can be used to supplement ma nures, but cannot replace them for more than a very short period. Unless the soil Is kept full of humus, fertility cannot" be kept at a stage where vigorous . plant growth results. Vetch combined with some grain, as oats, or pref erably winter barley, makes the best cover crop. It Is' a difficult matter to handle cover crops in a berry patch, but as it is prac tically necessary one must carry It through. For patches that have run down and need invigorating, nitrate of soda generally is .Qf, value. This can be used ati UiVi rate of two to three JbundrptU pounds per acre until a system of fertilization by maaores' end cover crops has been well setab lished. ' J Id .. Cultivation Shallow Cultivation must be shallow,! uu 10 8nauow rooting of -the plant. Deep cultivation will cut the roots, and this causes the for mation of many troublesome suck ers between the rows, in addition to the fact that the cutting off of the roots will cut off part of the food supply. Intensive, f re quent cultivation Is essential in holding' the , moisture supply tnrougnout the season. Otir Idmtl: The licni On!"

Zwlckcr, Prep. Phone UM . 13 and Wilbur Streets - Evergreen In Lead In choosing varieties ror slant ing, the grower In western Oregon nas but little choice. As most of the trade will be with the can neries, the plantings are limited almost altogether to the common Evergreen blackberry. This is by tar the most satisfactory -variety irom tne cannery standpoint, and, oecause of the heavy yield, Js bet ier Buuea to. tne grower. The Mammoth blackberry ..can . be grown by those catering to an early, fresh market, as this vari ety ripens about the time the loganberry does. This blackberry is seu-sxertie, so must be planted with other blackberries. Since the Cory"s Thoruless is said to be a bud sport rrom the Mammoth, it is supposed It might also be self sterile, and this may explain the report that the Cory's Thorn iiM fails to bear In many' cases. . The use of the Lawton, ,Kit tatinny, and similar varieties can not be recommended for western Oregon. For the eastern parf ot the slate they are of more value as they are more hardy than the evergreen. They are from the eastern part of the United States, and will be found to be more re sistant to cold temperatures, sun they will have to be protected in many or the colder localities' of eastern Oregon. The Himalva and Australian have no place commercially, as the berries are too Bof t for canning. Many people consider them bu perior to Evergreens for fresh use, so there may be a place for: them In tho home garden. ' Other than thi3, and poseibly a limited local V ' -, - , market trade, there will be prac tically. no use for . the Himalaya -or the .Austrian. -v - ' Set "Wide Apart; In laying out a patch of bla?k berrles', . plantings ' are in need ot wide spacing, for, if the boII is of the proper type the individual plants or hills will occupy and use to advantage a considerable area of soil.. The individual Evergreen plants need as much or more space than any of the cane fruits: Ordi narily the patches are planted with eight to nine feet will be the rows, and nine feet will be found of great advantage in culti vation, and from 12 to 16 feet between the plants in the row. Twelve feet can be considered ad visable only in the lighter, poorer soils. The Mammoth blackberry takes the same spacing as the loganberry, or about nine by nine on the square. ; , fv The Pruning . Pruning can begin as soon as the" crop is picked, when the old canes are to be removed, allowing more freedom for the development of . the younger canes, and if there 4 t.a , possibility ,' ot any, infection from insects or diseases, It can be removed at this time. ' It is of advantage to thin out the younger canes : during the early ' summer. leaving one or two more than will be desired permanently. This forces the strength ot the plant into the fewer number of canes to bem used and not Intb large num bers that will be removed in the winter pruning. ; , Ih the winter, the regular prun ing can. be given. With-the Mam oth blackberry, six to 10 canes can be left to each hill, pruned and trained on a two-wire trellis, as with the loganberry. From 10 to 16 canes to each hill can be left for the Evergreen blackberry. Tho Training Training is usually carried on by using two parallel wires, or modifications of this system Wires are placed at a height f of about four feet on end of cross arms about 20 Inches long, Spreaders are used to hold the wires apart and the canes are trained in and out of the spread ers to hold the canes in place. Due to the heavy weight. No. 12 wire is-best to use with posts spaced every two hills' apart. The young canes are trained along the ground and staked in under the bearing canes. vA.8 i modifications , of this system, there are used two wires at a height of 18 to 24 Inches for training the younger canes on. Again they will be trained above the old canes, sheltering the fruit from the direct rays of the sun. Other times' the old canes will be above one I year and below :the next, as the young canes are trained and left on the set of wires from the beginning. The first system mentioned is the simplest and least expensive, though more damage can occur to the canes by the trampling of tho pickers. Heading back may be necessary where the canes' are too long and over-reach each other In the train ing. Other than this, there Is no heading back desirable unless the end growth should be soft and succulent, as frequently occurs when we have a late, warm fall, and. a kind of secondary rrowth results mat is usually very soft and of littlo advantage In bearing fruit.
