Of the local grow ers th e re w ere

1920. T here a re 21 acres on this
place and a splendid o p p o rtu n ity to

young plants th e first yqar was given.
T he season was such th a t qne h alf
of th e field got aw ay from th e w ork­

high th a t they had to be plowed and
it was la te in Ju ly w hen -this was

th e new grow th is not so hardy. Mr.
A ndrew a ttrib u te s th e difference to
th e fact th a t th e late plow ing killed
o u t th e suck ers o r young p lan ts and
consequently th e v itality of the p lant
w as a ’! conserved in the hills. From
th is ,'a.t of th e patch he dug about
400 plan ts to th e section w hile in th e
p a rt which was not plowed la te and
w hich is now of much poorer quality
he dug on th e average of" 800 plants
to th e section. Mr. A ndrew says it

th a t eig h t feet would be better.
T he next stop on th e to u r was at
E. S p ath ’s field Just w est of th e
G resham gravel pit.
Mr. Spath has one of th e finest
fields in th e sta te . H is m ain field is
eig h t years’ old and those who have
know n th e field fo r fo m e tim e say
th a t th ree years ago th e soil w as life­
less and th e field in a r a th e r poor
s ta te because th e vital elem ents In
th e soil had been depleted to such
an extent th a t th e plants could not
o b tain n ourishm ent from th e ground
T he first y e a r Mr. S path plowed
u n d e r a crop of vetch and p u t on
250 pounds of n itra te of soda. T his
Increased th e yield and th e grow th
of th e vines b u t th e berries w ere too
so ft. L a te r he added potash fo r its
h ard e n in g q ualities and added m ore
of th e o th e r form s of fertilizers and
an abundance of straw .
T his year he has used th re e tons
of straw and 100 pounds of n itra te
of soda, 100 pounds of potash and
500 pounds of su p e r p h o sp h ate to th e
acre. Next y ear he expects to in ­
crease th e n itr a te of soda To 200
pounds and add th e sam e am o u n ts of
o th e r fertilizers. H e will use all th e
straw he can g e t if he can get it into
th e ground.
Mr. S path w as un ab le to g e t b a rn ­
yard m an u re so has to depend upon
com m ercial fertilizers. W here b a rn ­
yard m a n u re is av ailab le in sufficient
q u an titie s P ro fesso r Long, hortfcul-
tu ra l sp ecialist from C orvallis said
th a t he advises th e use of potash and
a p a rt of th e su p e r p h o sp h ate to b al­
ance th é fertilize r.
No n itra te s
should be added w hen sufficient
b arn y ard m a n u re is available.
MT. S path in tro d u ced a unique
trellisin g system on his place which
will probably be copied by many
grow ers. He has tw o w ires stru n g
r a th e r high an d w inds th e vines
upon these w ires r a th e r th a n to p ­
ping them a s has been th e usual
practice.
T hese w ires a re spread
ab o u t 18 inches a p a rt an d held by
sm all cross piece«.
T his allow s
space betw een th e rows fo r th e new
canes to grow and th ey certain ly
avail them selves of th e o p p o rtunity.
T here are canes nine o r ten feet
high a t th is tim e and still grow ing.
Mr. Spath contiues cu ltiv atin g
th r o u fÿ th e picking season and once
each week th e field is given a sh a l­
low cultiv atio n to b reak up th e
packed g ro u n d w here th e pickers
h av e w alked.
T he adv an tag e gained from all
th is w ork and ca re is th e fact th a t
la st y ear Mr. S p ath ’s 4% acre field
averaged 3 % to n s to th e acre and it
is estim ated th a t th e yield th is year
will be four tons. He has ten pick­
ers to every acre an d is unloading
from H i to
to n s daily a t th e
B erry G row ers P acking Com pany
plant. He figures th a t th e trellisin g
gives him an ad v an tag e of ab o u t one
ton to th e acre.
A sked when th e old vines should
be cut P ro fesso r Long and o th e r
berry specialists agreed th a t it de­
pended on th e condition of the
plants. In a field like Mr. S p ath ’s
w here th e new canes show’ a w onder­
ful grow th th e old vines should be
le ft until d o rm en t as the cu ttin g of
th e old vines w ould s ta r t th e p lan t
to ru n n in g up countless sm aller
p lan ts and force th e gro w th of th e
new canes unnecessarily.
In good
fields th e bearin g vines should be
left u n til th e leaves fall. H owever
if a field sho u ld sfcow a poor grow th
of young canes th e cu ttin g of th e old
vines a t the close of th e bearin g sea­
son w ould ten d to in crease th e
grow’th of th e new canes.
T he next stop on th e trip was at

Mr.
S trong has th e la rg e st acreag e of
b earing vines to be found in th is

He has a new system of trellisin g
also, one he claim s is m ore p ractical
th a n th e S path m ethod. T his is a

th e n tw isted upon a sin g le w ire
