Too much cannot be said of the Natural Rasp
berry. While it is classed as dry berries, it is not
strictly such, being more moist, sweeter and more
like fresh berries. It may be eaten from the hand
like raisins. It makes a sauce as nice as canned
berries. I guarantee one package of berries to
make one gallon sauce if the directions are care
fully followed. You can't make a gallon of sauce
from any other kind of dried fruit nor buy can
ned fruit at that price. Besides it is the richest
and nicest sauce made especially for pies. The
Natural Raspberry is king of piemakers.
In order to introduce this delicious fruit, I am
offering 10 one gallon packages of Natural Rasp
berries by mail postpaid, upon receipt of $2.50.
Smaller lots 30cts per 1 gallon packages. Call
on your local dealer for small lots and demand
that he gives you Natural Raspberries- so labeled

Six Potato Diseases
Causing Great Loss
That there's at least six well de
fined potato diseases, some of
them causing great loss in Ore
gon, has been determined by the
crop pest investigations at the
Oregon Agricultural College.
The experts have devoted their
attention thus far mainly to a
survey to discover the extent and
distribution of potato diseases,
but it is planned in the future to
study each of the six principal
diseases in detail with special ref
erences to conditions in Oregon.
Co-operative work is under
way to test different varieties of
potatoes for disease resistance.
The seed for these tests is furn
ished by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, and a small field
of the college farm has been
planted, both good and bad po
