BLACK8ERFY CULTURE IN ORE
US MOSTLY RAISING EVERGREEiS
C. E. 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. The market lor fresh
fruit is very limited, as the urban
population is not largo enough to

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.

- 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. C. E. SCHUSTRn;
