Things Tat Produce Boysenberry Answer To Gardeners&apos; Whims By ALFRED AMES, Garden Editor Most home gardeners eventually drift into the practice of growing those things that give the greatest yield from the space available. We, of course, have likes, dislikes, prejudices, and whims--but, eventually, we simmer down to those things that produce. After several seasons of hand- Dolishing the handles of many hoes, shovels and rakes, we've come to the conclusion that for all around satisfaction nothing can take the place of the boysen- berry. Doesn't make any differ- ence what the season is, there is something important going on in that row of berries. : Fil,t thing In the spring, the bees tart working a full shift on the berries. Rather titan gathering nectar or pollen they seem to be making a frenzied connt of the petals of each bloom. The whole trellis quivers as this day-long agita- tion continues! Wonder if they ever find an imperfect bloom --or whatever it is they seem to Iw searching for? One thing " is sure--no blossom is ever missed l As the last bloom withers, the center berry of each cluster starts to color. It's just a mat- ter of days now--better dig out the jelly glasses, fruit jars, and make space in the freezer. Bet- ter check the paraffin and pectin supply, too. Pectin Stuff 'Sa funny tiling about that pec- tin stuff. A few years back it sort of sounded like adding an adulterant to jam and jelly--not like Mother used to make it. Sort of have a boyhood memory of some jelly that didn't jell-- some that was re-cooked, or was it vulcanized? With this back- ground, our system has devel- oped where we cook berries as little as possible--use the pectin that calls for the least sugar, and put 'era in the cupboard by noon of the day we pick 'era. Results? Well--the flavor and bouquet i as ch)se to the fresh fruit as it' lx)ssible to get. Turn a glass out on a dish and it sort of swoons--none of that spring- steel resiliency so often found behind fancy labels. Now, We're not the type to pick an argu- ment, or belittle the achieve- ments of other ¢'wrasslers of the kitchen range." Fact of the mat- ter is--given a few sauces, mush- rooms and assorted condiments, we can make a piece of tripe for- 1165 FOOTHILL GRON on our own property. Sturdy get its tremble past. However, a real gla.s of jelly, we consider a triumph! Let's see; we have just picked, can+ed, and given our friends--berries. It look about a hnndred feet of row to do tills after feeding a large por- tion of all tle birds in the area. Hear tell of come commercial growers who get yields of ten tons to an acre. Our vine, for several seasons past. have been strung on binder twitie SUlq)orted Ity stakes driv- en into tile ground at frequent intervals. After the berries are harvested it's an easy task to cut the old canes at the ground, cut tile binder twine from the stakes, and roll tip as much as you can carry away. The stakes are restrung imme- diately, (vhteh makes it possible to get the new canes up off the ground and out of the way. A double course of binder twine pulled taut with a half hitch around each stake serves nicely for a full year, adequately sup- ports the "vines, and does away with the job of removing the old canes from wire trellises. Prou<i of Baby Understand. tile name Boysen is that of the man responsible for introducing this berry. That, we like--makes sense and seems to indicate he was proud of his baby. On the other hand, ran across the names of some new introductions the other (lay that were pure gihheri.h. (Regardless of the quality of tile fruit, it's had two strikes called ch-eady). Of course, that's just tile opinion of a person who dropped his middle name tile first time he heard it. The present tendency to tie names of entirely nurelated subjects onto things horticul- tural makes you wonder -- have a little "atomic" aspara- gus-they say "United Na- tions" r h u b a r b is a dilly! Wasn't it Gertrude Stein who wrote son|etbing 1o the effect "A rose is +1 rose, is a rose, is a Pose." Mmmm--soft of left the Boy- ........ sen patch--let's see, they've bloomed, ripened, and are picked and packed. We've put up the new trellis and find those canes on the ground have started enough tip roots to furnish vines for an entire new planting. The old vines are five years old now--probably be a good idea to save enough tips to start a new. row over on the other side of the garden.

New Walking Crutch Saves + Lives of |njured Cattle DAVIS--Adaptation by tile University of California's Vet- erinary Clinic of the Thomas splint used in human fracture eases, saved the investment in this valuable bull used in the College of Agriculture's artificial insemination service. The walk- ing crutch is made of electric conduit tubing or aluminum al- loy rod, measured for height and adjusted for traction. The rest under the "arm" is amply padded to give painless support. The fractured limb is slipped through the padded ring. Proper adjustments are made, and the hoof is then anchored to the bottom of the splint. (Univer- sity of California Photo.) Deceiving the Birds If you don't like to use strips of cloth and paper to keep bird s and pests from your victory garden, try side-tracking t he raiders by planting some foods they enjoy most and you enjoy least. Commercial fruit growers often plant Juneberries and mul- berries near their orchards. Birds will gorge themselves on these and tend to leave apricots and other fruits alone. And a few gourds will help keep beetles away from your cucum- bers.
