Holt Bruce Field T imes-Advocate Bank of Montreal Herb Eilber Farmers - Attention Wanted: A number of progressive farmers in Wes­ tern districts who would like to set out a commercial block of Red Raspberries, either for your local trade or for shipping to recommended city dealers. Recent Ontario- Quebec production figures, prices at 40-60c per quart and dealei; reports would indicate short supplies everywhere. To encourage a limited planting of new high yield­ ing patches, a well known nursery is sending a special representative of many years experience to personally inter­ view and educate interested farmers in raspberry culture. This should result in higher unit yields, longer patch life, less hand labor and, when translated into dollars at nor­ mal prices, a relatively high ratio of profit is assured. Because of the present shortage of good planting material bookings can only be made for FALL PLANTING, 1948, limited to one acre. If genuinely interested in berry growing as a side­ line to farming, write Box 457, Campbellford, Ontario, on or before January 22nd, giving the location of your farm. Our specialist will call later and completely .analyze the business, soil requirements and preparation, up-to-date cul­ tural practices, home markets and surplus shipping, cost • of planting, estimated yields and profits per acre.
