. Annual report of the Agricultural Experiment Station. Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). 438 Agricultural Experiment Station, Ithaca, N. Y. canes have borne, they are cut out, in the same manner as the canes of raspberries and ; Mr. Wilcox trains to three strands of No. 13 wire, the top strand being three feet from the ground. Upon several accounts, however, I prefer tying the canes to stakes as shown in Fig. 132. Three or four canes may be allowed to grow from each plant, and these are tied to the stakes, with wool twine or willow thongs, two or three times during the season, as they grow. The canes may be left on the stakes all winter, although it is better, particularly in exposed localities, to lay them down late in fall. Whilst the year-old canes are bearing fruit, the new ones are growing on the ground. As soon as the fruit is removed, the old canes are cut out and the new oues are tied up for the remainder of the season. To prevent the breaking of these young canes by the early cultivating, it is necessary to turn them lengthwise the row with a fork. If they become very strong and if the land gets weedy, it may be advisable to tie up these young canes along with the old ones before the fruit is picked. On the other hand, if the land is clean, so that much cultivating or hoeing is unnecessary, the new canes may be allowed to lie on the ground throughout the entire season. This is scarcely ad- visable, however, for they are likely to make a weak and soft growth in weeds and grass and shade, and the ground cannot receive the attention which it should have. Some persons tie dewberries to a woven wire screen, as seen in Fig. 133. This is a neat practice for a few vines in the garden, but is too expensive for the field, and the spaces in the screen are not large enough to allow of the easy movement of the hand through it when tying and picking. The one great merit of the dewberry is the earli- n
