KlfiTIB IE FERTILITY OF
; RASPBERRY SOILS 1'i OUR DISTRICT
Jhere are Ten Elements or Materials Necessary for the
Successful Growth of Plants Phosphorus, Potash and
Sulfur in Some Cases Must Be Supplied; But Nitrogen

r
Editor Statesman:
Of the many factors associated
Vith raspberry culture, soil fertil
ity is probably the most important,
yet,, In many instances, receives the
least attention. Soils vary greatly
in the matter of plant food ele-
ments, and in terms of soil man
neement each individual niece of
ground is a problem unto itself.
y VConsequently, Jin an article of this
i iaaiure QUI general rcv-uuiuicuua-
r tions can be made concerning the
t matter of fertility.
; 4 There are ten elements or ma
terials necessary for the success
tful erowth of plants. These are
i carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitro-;
h gen, .phosphorus, potassium, cal-
1 cium, magnesium, Hulfur, and iron.
; Carbon, hydrogen; and oxygen are
usually available in unlimited
quantities from the air and water
and make up approximately 95
per cent of the plant structure, in
cluding its crop. Calcium, mag
nesium and iron are used only in
very small amounts and seemingly
I nmost of the soils of this state are
Butflciently supplied with these.
Phosphorus, potash, and sulfur
are used by plants in liberal
J amounts and in some cases must
.bel supplied. The remaining ele
ment, nitrogen, is furnished large
ly by the organic matter and along
with the organic matter, is usuany
the first plant food to disappear
Arom. western Oregon soil. Defi
ciency of this element in availaJjte
form undoubtedly j contribute j-,to
limited cane growth and yields.
Ixssof Ilant Fool MementK
' The' continued removal of w'ops
and the loss due to drainage and
f .leaching, as well as that due to na
tural decomposition, invariably re-
educes the soil's store of plant food.
' Experiments have shown that the
apple trees on one acre remove ni
S : ' trogen equal to that carried by
340 pounds of nitrate of soda,
phosphoric acid equal to that car-
1 ried by 95 pounds of 16 per cent
superphosphate, and potash equal
' to that carried by 135 pounds of
sulfate of potash. Losses from
t causes other than crop removal
bring tne total considerably high-
er, so that it is fairly safe to as
j. sume that the annual depletion
I from an acre of cane fruits is equal
' to that of 1200 pounds of nitrate
"r.f ada. 280 nounds of 16 per cent
i VRuoerphosphate, and 190 pounds
of hieti auality sulfate of potash
Obviously any system of soil man-.
agement that will insure a.perm-
anent agriculture must make plant
(ft food elements not only available
Y v for the moment, but must compen
i v sate for the continual loss due to
A v natural agencies and to ?rop re
1 ; moval. It is.far more economical
i in the long run to maintain soil
. fertility from year to year man n
U to; wait until the soil has ceased
to be productive. ; ' " ' 1 .
Koil !Nwl8 Organic Matter
; Organic matter returns to the
4 soil the same elements that are re
. moved by crops, improves the phy-
sical properties, promotes neces
lf sary bacterial and chemical action
and makes the soil more retentive
of moisture. Commercial fertili
4. zers, while helpful as accessories,;
cannot completely replace organic
material. Much of the soil-now
w devoted to the culture of cane
fruits has. been under cultivation
for many years and has lost a con
l siderable portion of its brganic
matter. The paramount problem
of the cane fruit grower 6 far as
Foil fertility is concerned,' is the
findfnff of an . economical method
V of replacing the depleted organic
matter and then maintaining it.
Soil lackinE in organic matter is

Methods of Supplying Organic
Matter
A feasible and practical means
of replenishing and " maintaining
the organic matter is that of cover
crops. " Due to the comparatively
mild winters of this region, such
cover crons as barley or rye and.
common vetch (V. satiya, can be
made to produce' a considerable
amount of organic matter during
the winter months. Common vetch
being a leguminous plant, has the
power to make free nitrogen from
the air available for growth. Crops
for this purpose should be sown
before the fall rains begin at the
rate of 30 to 40 pounds of vetch
and 25 to 30 pounds of barley per
. - i m
acre. Tnese crops , snouiq oe
turned under in spring. Whenever
possible, these should be drilled In
rather J than broadcasted, this
practice resulting; in better germ
ination and less Injury from
drought. It is a mistake to leave
cover crons standing too long, for
thev tend to become wooay, ao
not decay well, and soon deplete
the soil of moisture.
A second method of replacing
humus is that of applying manure
straw, or other cron refuse. A
ton of wheat straw contains as
much nitrogen as 62 pounds of
nitrate of soda, as much phosphor
us as 11V pounds of superphos
phate and 4 2H pounds ef sulfate
of potash, besides a great bulk of
soil-improving organic matter. No1
croo refuse of any kind should be
Ipermitted to go to waste within
nauilUK uiaiaucc. i ui cauo 4uv
plantings. Manure and crop re
fuse may be used in liberal quan
tities, 10 to 20 tonsner acre not
being excessive applications.
Tle U of Commmlal FcHiliw
Certain commercial fertilizers
have, in many cases, proved valu
able to raspberries in that they
have acted as "quick stiinulants or
accessories to cover crops. Indi
vidual Instances are reported
wherein yields have been increased
from 10 to 25 per cent by the use
of commercial fertilizers. It must
be borne in mind, however, that
these fertilizers i contain nothing
essential to plants but .what is
contained in manure or crop re
fuse, and. further, that they do but
little to improve the physical con
dition of the soil or promote bac
terial and chemical activity. Com
mercial fertilizers, moreover, when
used excessively,! or when impro
perly applied, may actually do
harm. i i
Soil authorities are now fairly
well agreed that commercial fer-
til iz
inl;
the
izers produeei marked results
ly when the soil is deficient in
e available elements contained
by them. Soil abundant in avail
able nitrogen, for example, usually
shows but little effect from ithe
application of nitrogenous fertiliz
ers.? Furtacr, it is quite certain
that commercial fertilizer w-ill
have but litle j effect on "soils
that are poorly drained, that are
compact, or that are too dry.
Again, it is clear that actual tTial
and observation constitute the
only method of ascertaining the
value of a commercial fertilizer
upon a given piece of ground. A
chemical test, while valuable in a
general way, is; of but little spe
cific worth since field i conditions
cannot oe duplicated in the labora

plication and should be worked ,
into the soil rather than be allow
ed to remain on the surface. Some
fertilizers are more or Jess caustic
in effect and consequently- should
not be placed immediately sur
rounding the plants. The feeding
roots of cane fruits extend pretty
well across the rows and there Is
but little danger of placing the
fertilizer out of their reach. Some
growers find it advantageous to
apply their, fertilizers as early as
February or March. '
Kinds of Commercial Fertilizers
Many kinds of commercial fer
tilizers are now offered for sale.
The more common nitrogenous
fertilizers are nitrate of soda, sul
fate of ammonia, dried-blood, and
tankage. Phosphorus is contain
ed in such fertilizers as super-
phosphate, ground bone, Thomas
elair. South Carolina rock, and
Florida phosphate rock. Muriate
of Potash.i sulfate of potash, and
wood ashes are common potash
fertilizers. Sulfur is commonly
supplied by ordinary crude sulfur.-
;'--);; : - '
By using varying amounts of
different plant food elements , on
different plots, and ly observing
the results, each grower should be
able to determine the kinds and
quantities of fertilizers to which
his soil responds. Portions of
rows of equal length should be
measured off,' and to these fertil
izers both alone and in combina
tion should be applied. One Plot
for example, may receive nitro
gen, another phosphoric acid, and
another potash; while the other
plots should receive combinations
of these.; such as nitrogen and
phosphoric acid; nitrogen and
potash; phosphoric acid and pot
ash; and phosphoric acid, potash
and nitrogen. ' Check plots should
be left for the purpose of compar
ison. It is suggested that-nitrate
of soda or its equivalent be tried
at the rate of 200 to 300 pounds
per acre. A high grade super
phosphate, testing about 16 per
cent, may be tried at strengths
varying between 200 and 400
pounds per acre. Muriate of
Potash may be applied at from
100 to ! 150 pounds per acre,
while sulfur may be tried at the
rate of about 100 pounds per acre.
Effects of Nitrate of Soda oil Ited
1 Raspberries - ;
Experiments to ascertain the ef
fects of nitrate of(SOda on the vi
gor and yields of red raspberries
were carried on by the Oregon
Agricultural college experiment
station during the seasons of 1919
and 1920.! The work was done in
the plantation of Mr. Orrin Stra
ton near! Brownsville, Oregon.
Cane growth in this plantation at
the beginning of the experiments
was only moderate, indicating that
nitrogen was perhaps-a limiting
factor. The nitrate of soda was
applied at the rate of 250 pounds
to the acre just as grorth - was
starting In the spring. Check
plots were maintained so as to af
ford a basis of comparison. The
results of these experiments were
as follows: w
(1) No. of berries in box
(2) Color of berries
--3) Time of maturity of berries
(4) No. of new canes to plants
(5) Average length of new canes
(6) Color and appearance of
foliage
(7) Average sizn of leaves
(8) Increase in crop 10 per cent
- Obviously, in this particular
case, - beneficial results were ob
tained from the use of nitrate of
soda. : Since a considerable por
tion of western Oregon soil is
known to be deficient In available
nitrogen, similar quick results can
be expected in many cases by the
use of this fertilizer. Whether
high production could be main
tained indefinitely by this meth
od alone, however, is problemati
cal. The objection has been raised
that nitrogenous fertilizers tend
to produce berries that are soft in
texture and canes that do not pro
perly mature for winter.; Experi
mental data, however, ; tend to
saow tliat thls may be overcome,

Blackcap lieserrcs Wider Atten-
tion
i The blackcap raspberry j is un
doubtedly worthy ,of more atten
tion than it has received in the
past. It makes a splendid pro
duct forthe table in any one 'of
several different ways; the fresh
berries are fine either for sauce
or pies, the black raspberry, when
properly canned, is one of the
richest and finest flavored sauces
that can be obtaind from fruits,
it leads, itself especially to the
making of excellent jams, - and
dries to the best advantage of any
of the small fruits, drying out
from 20 to 25 per cent of itg fresh
weight.
; The blackcap is easily cared for
and requires less hand labor than
many of the other small fruits.
On the whole, thi3 industry should
be encouraged by being mdre wide
ly advertised. When the merits of
the black raspberry begin to be
known to the average housewife in
Oregon, the prices of this delicate
and delicious fruit will increase:
The statement is often seen in lit
erature bearing' upon bramble
fruits, that the black raspberry
does not produce as well on the
Pacific, coast as does the red rasp
berry. i
This is true as a general rule,
but when careful selection is made
of soil 4nd slope, coupled with
good cultivation, careful pruning
and protection against pests and
enemies, and when in addition the
fertility of the .soil is carefully
maintained, the blackcap will in
fact regularly outyield the red
raspberry. In the east the black
raspberry is regularly counted up
on to outyield the red raspberry.

Moist ure 4s Needed
The black raspberry requires a
deep, rich, cool, moist soil, very
well drained. When sufficient wa
ter can be added by irrigation, the
black (raspberry will do its best
on sandy loam soils. Under Wil
lamette valley conditions, howev
er, the plant does best on a light
friable clay loam that is fairly
retentive of moisture. Under no
conditions should the black rasp
berry be planted on poorly drained
light clay loams.. They will soon
die out and will be unprofitable
from the start. ,
The slope should be to the north
preferably because the black rasp
berry should be kept from being
shriveled up from the heat of sum
mer and becoming too seedy. The
north slope is coler and can be
kept more moist. In some sections
north slopes haVe deeper soils than
do south felopes. Good air drain
age is necessary also to protect
the plants against winter killing,
and to avoid da-mage from late
spring frosts.
The more humus the soil con
tains the greater will be its water
holding, rapacity. There is noth
ing that fills the bill better iu this
respect than stable manure con
taining more or less straw. The
cover crops make a very good sub
stitute for stable manure, espec
ially if a leguminous crop is
grown. Oats and vetch sn to
gether in v proportions of (30 ' lbs.
of vetch to 20 pounds of oats, and
then plowed under! as soon as
plowing season arrives in ' the
spring .makes a very satisfactory
cover crop. ; i
In western Oregon careful and
frennent cultivation must bo re
sorted to if the moisture content
of the soil is to be conserved. This
11
means a frequent snanovr culti
vation rather than deep cultiva
tion, because the roots of the
plants are relatively shallow, and
if .the cultivating tools are i "set
deeply more harm may result by
cutting off roots than good may

tion. Most commercial plantings
are set 4x8 feet so as' to permit
thorough' work either with horses
or with tractors. '
. Fertility of Soil
It is coming to be generally un
derstood by the growers of all
kinds of small fruits that if the
soil js not rich enough for the
fruit they must supplement the
fertility of the soils in one form or
another if they are to get maxi
mum results. .
The best treatment for the-berry
patch is to give it k liberal dress
ing of stable manure the year8 be
fore planting." If 10 to 12 tons of
manure to the1 acre can be worked
Into the soil throughout the. fall
preceding planting in the spring,
the growth of the vines is usually
such that by the second year there
is quite a crop upon them, where
as, if the vines are not fertilized,
it is usually the third; season be
fore they produce sufficient to pay
for harvesting.
In case stable manure is not ob
tainable, commercial fertilizers
combined with green manures is
often profitable. It is a fact that
nitrogen content wears, out faster
in the soil. Hence the' job of the
fruit grower Is to build up the. ni
trogen content so that he will get
a well balanced ratio of nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric, acid. , He
will Know when this; is accom
plished by the vigorous appear
ance of the leaves and shoots. As
a rule In this valley, we have
enough phosphoric acid and 'pot
ash to provide for ordinary yielda,
but if maximum yields are pro
duced, they . can only be brought
about by increasing the nitrogen,'
phosphoric acid and potash in a
sort of a balanced ration in the
soil.
In other words, it will, do you
little good to increase the nitro
gen application beyond ,a certain
point, unless the plant also has
enough phosphoric acid and pot
ash to build into its tissues, to
balance the nitrogen. The berry
fertilizers put out by Swift and
other companies are usually good
when maximum production, is
wanted. If one chooses to make
up .fertilizer, he can do so by us-.
ing a formula of 4 per cent nitro
gen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid
and 2 per cent potash. '
