ed under the plants, as it has a tend
ency to cause them to burn.
All runners should be kept cut. The
fruit buds and blooms should be kept
removed until the early or spring
bearing ones have discontinued fruit
ing, when the straw should be "-placed
about the ever-hearers and fruit al
lowed to set. Part of the blooms
should be removed after the fruit has
been allowed to set because they will
actually bear, themselves to death if
given full sway. About the las oi
August or first of September all buds
and blooms should be pinched out,
the straw removed and a light appli
cation .of fertilizer and a shallow cul
tivation given. The-straw can then
be replaced and plants treated as be
fore. After cool weather begins they
can be allowed to bear more freely.
Keeping part of the fruit frdm
forming enables the plants to with-
vnv mc uui, ury weainer ot sum
mer and early fall and allows them
to grow luxuriant foliage which pro
tects the blooms and berries from
frost. When the vines have their full
growth they will ripen berries under
the leaves after there have been HgKt
freezes. Last year I had ripe berries
as late as Christmas.
One or two hundred plants well
cared for will produce all the berries
most families can use. If every farm
er would set that many .this 'fall 'it
would go a long way toward reliev-
