That nearly every wise to-

 big chew idea long ago. 



A little of the Real Tobacco 

 Chew gives you more to- 

 bacco satisfaction and saves 

 you money. Its rich taste 

 lasts a long time. 

 Any man who uses the Real 

 Tobacco Chew will tell you 

 that.

lldwci', lii'.'in, pe;i, suninu'i- sciuiisli, and 

 l)f)lato. drain crops should not be 

 used, as they ai'e not cultivated and 

 will lake moisture and jjlant food 

 ni'cded lj\- the raspberry plants. The 

 second season no other crop should be 

 iivown, as the rasiibeny roots should 

 occupy all the ground. 



Tillage. 



Tillage in laspberry lields must be 

 IhiirfiUHh and more rej^ulai' than for 

 most other crops. If f^rass and weeds 

 Hct a start, it is very diflicult to clean 

 the rows. Not only will it prove costly 

 to clean them, but grass and weeds take 

 the neeiled moisture and interfere with 

 the development of new canes. IT grass 

 is allowed to make a sod in a fiehl 

 trained to the wi<le hedge SNstem, it is 

 usuallv cheaper to set out a new field 

 than to clean out the sod. 



I'illage should be thoi-ough and regu- 

 lar in order to conserve moisture. Ex- 

 (■e])t in rainy weather, a cultivator or 

 harrow should be used at least once 

 each week up to picking time. Some 

 growers consider it protitable to use it 

 as often as twice each week, and this 

 is sometimes necessary during periods 

 of extended drought. The cultivation 

 should stir the soil to a depth of two to 

 three inches only, as part of the rasp- 

 berry roots are shallow. Many growers 

 shorten the cultivator or harrow teeth 

 which run next to the jilants, so as to 

 disturb the young feeding roots near 

 the surface as little as possible. 



During the harvesting season the ber- 

 ries need an additional supply of mois- 

 ture, and ordinarily the cultivation 

 should be continued. Many growers 

 cultivate after each picking, loosening 

 tile soil packed down b\' the pickers. 

 If too much dust is cai-ried to the fruit 

 it may be necessary to cultivate only 

 occasionally during the picking season. 

 .Also if no trellis or stakes aie used and 

 if the canes bend over undei' a crop of 

 I'ruit it will be impossible to use a 

 cultivator without knocking off too 

 much fruit. 



Later tillage is for the purpose of 

 keeping down weeds and grasses. The 

 lields should be free of weeds during 

 the winter season, as many kinds start 

 quickly in the spring and are dillicult 

 to destioy after the soil is in condition 

 to work. Autumn tillage, however, 

 tends to develop new growth, which is 

 tender and somewhat more sub,ject to 

 winter injury than the older growth. 

 .\utunin tillage, therefoi-e, should be 

 avoided as much as possible where 

 there is danger from severe winters. 



The use of fertilizers in raspberry 

 ]dantations is governed by the same 

 Ifrinciples that apply to their use with 

 other fruits. As soils vary in the quan- 

 tity and availability of the plant food 

 they contain, the fertilizer problem is 

 a local one which each grower must 

 solve for himself. By using varying 

 amounts of the different elements of 

 plant food on dilfei-ent plats and keep- 

 ing a record of the \ ields, each grower 

 can deterndne readily what kinds and 

 (luantities of fertilizer to apply. 



(lood management, however, will in- 

 sui'c a large amount of humus in the 

 soil at all times.
