Many blackberry and raspberry
vines in Oklahoma are going into
winter quarters this year with large
quantities of immature wood. The

Gage, were in Woodward the first of
the week.

close enough to the row to remove
the soil from one side of the plants
d jvvn to the roots. The vines can
then be easily bent to the ground by
placing a hay fork in the top and
pushing them over into the d'.tch.
Stick the fork into tiie ground to
hold the vines firm until a little soil
can be thrown on them. The vines
should not be covered more than 2
or 3 inches deep. Rome soii should
be thrown .into the ditch to keep the
roots moist. If a very hard winter is
anticipated, the entire vines could be
covered. The vines may be fastened
down with a wire or poles and cover-
ed wi.h hay or straw. This netnod
serves the purpose quite v.ell but
gives a good hiding place f ir rab-

considerable damage daring the
winter.
This work should be done in the
latter part of November or early in
December. The covering should he
removed and the vines raised before
growth starts in the spring. If the
work is carefully done it will greatly
re luce, if not entirely prevent, wint er-
killing and thus do much to insure a
crop the coming season.
