State University A request has been received concerning the proper method of hand ling red raspberry plants after the fruiting period has been completed. Since there is similarity in the handling of black raspberry and dewberry plants we might as well give attention to all three. The red raspberry: Old fruiting canes should be removed immediately after the crop is har vested. Cut the old canes close to the ground. New canes (suckers) will come from root buds. If you are using the hedge-row system of training, do not let rows become wider than about two feet. This can be done bycutting out (roots and all) suckers as they appear. If you are using the hill system, save 8-10 canes for the 1973 crop around each stake. The black raspberry: Remove the old fruiting canes after harvest. This plant does not “sucker” from root buds as the new canes originate at the base or crown of the plant. When the new canes are two or three feet in height, pinch out the tip of each new cane. This will destroy apical dominance and cause branching. Branching is desirable for two rea sons: in the first place pinching will result in a low stocky plant; and secondly, the yield should be better the following year. The dewberry: Old fruiting canes should be removed after harvest as was the case with the red and black raspberries. There are two methods employed depending upon where your .planting is located in The state. ■— In the lower Piedmont and Coastal Plain, all canes (old and new) are removed at the crown or base of the plant. The growing season in these regions is long enough to produce sufficient new canes for a good crop in 1973. This procedure also assists in reducing the severity of disease organisms. In the mountains, where the growing season is shorter, it is best to remove only the old fruit ing canes. All plants should be cultivated and fertilized after post-harvest treat ments as suggested. About 10 ounces of an 8-8-8 fertilizer per plant should be applied evenly around the plants and in corporated with the soil. If you have strawy stable manure available you might reduce the 8-8-8 to 6 ounces and add a good fork-full around each plant. /More Corn A year makes a lot of difference In supplies of farm commodities. This spring, North Carolina had over a third more corn on hand than at the same time the pre vious year. The most significant factor In this difference was the blight troubled 1970 crop which left critically short, sup plies to be carried into 1971. And last year’s crop was a big one. ,
