TRAINING AND PRUNING THE GRAPE WILL BRING PROFITABLE RESULTS 4 _ Grape i* One of Hardiest and Surest Fruits, But Will Not Develop Well Without Proper Garo? Very Important m to Train Vines to Some Definite Form. rn<ju?*4tioft*bly; the grape in one of the surest fruits lliut can i>e grown in South Carolina. Practically all the btandurd varieties will su -ceed. Nor in tli** fruit often Injured by late frost. In gi iMTal, It la safe to aa y that when , viiii'H art' properly" cared for there la almost a certainty^' a crop every year. ^ Hut although the grape will pro duct; Home fruit under almost any treatment,. yot results that are really worth having cannot he obtained with out proper care of the vines, The old practice of planting a vine Just any whuro and letting It grow at will Is en tirely wrong. Under audi conditions, vines become thick and fall on the ground, there Is a tendency to over production of fruit, to small bunches, and inferior berries, and at about tlhe time the grapes begin to color up, they begin to rot. A? a result, when the fruit should be ready for use, one-half or two thlrd? of It la worthless. Be sides, vines handled thus are weak and last only a few seasons. Perhaps the worst mistake in grape culture la failure to prune properly. It Is very Important that the vinos be trained to some definite form. The easiest method of training the grape Is as follows: First year: itylant one-year-old vines.'! Ah soon as they have been put out. cut them back to three buds, as shown at (a) In illustration. Should all three of these grow, rub one off, leaving the strongest two to grow and form the frame of the vine. During the first season's growth the young shoots should be tied to a stake, as shown at (b) In illustration. This is to pro duce healthy cane?. Should they be allowed to run on the ground, they will be weak and more liable to injury. Second year: A trellis must now be prepared. Set posts 20 feet apart along each row of grapes. This will give space for two vines between each two. posts. The posts, when set, should show four and one-half feet above the ground. The- end posts should be set at least three feet in the ground and well braced to prevent giving when the vines are stretched. The other posts should be set at least two feet deep To the posts are nailed two wires on which to train the vinos. The lower wire is two feet above ground and the upper wire two feet above the lower. These preparations made, the young canes should be taken off the stakes, one cut off at the height of the first wire ami tied, and the other al lowed to extend to the top wire, as shown at (c). Pruning the grape. (?) Young vine transplanted and headed back to three buds, (b) Firet year's growth, two ctfnes allowed to grow, (c) First season's pruning, (d) Second and all subsequent seasons' pruning Third year: Numerous canes will be thrown out from the two that were left the preceding season. The prun i lng necessary this year will consist of ! removing all canes except four, one going eacii way from an<old vine on both wirea. These four canes are com monly called "arms." They form the frame on which the fruiting canea will be produced. After this year the pruning will eon sist of renewing the four "arms" each year when suitable canes pf the prer 'ceding season's growth ?an be found to take their places. If this cannot be done, all the canes should be cut back to two or three buds. Th?se buds will throw out shoots the next season on which the fruit will ? be borne. It is always best to renew the arms each year if possible. When thie l method is followed, each vine will pro duce from 75 to 100 ibunchea of grapes ' each year, which is enough. The ! vines are also kept thinned out, so ; that the sun can strike all portions and that spraying can be done auc ! cessfully. j For further information on the j grape, farmers should write to Sidney S. Ritten1)erg, Clemson College, and ask for Bulletin No. 15, "Fruit Culture for South Carolina." C. F. NIV'BN, Assistant in Horticulture, Clemson Agricultural College. WHY CROSS BREEDING IS NOT ADVISABLE Farmer# sometimes get the mistak en idea that cross breeding will im prove their stock. On the contrary, cross breeding has many disadvan tages and farmers are strongly advis rfd not to attempt it. It has at times been used with success in the handa of breeders of long experience, but for the Inexperienced breeder It is a roost dangerous practioe. Cross breeding is the mating of two purebred animals of different breeds; for example, a purebred Hereford bull with a purebred Angus oow, or a pure bred Berkshire boar with a purebred Du roc- Jersey sow. It should be clear ly distinguished from grading, whick means the mating of a purebred with a scrub or an animal of very little pure blood, and whlek can be done with perfect safety ?q4 is urged upon farmers. vlV'r One of the principles upoa wkioh livestock breeding is based is that like tends to beget like. When two purebred* of the same breed are mated, wii expect the offspring to be like Its parents, because there to, be hind each parent, a long line of pure blood. When two purebred* of dif ferent breeds are mated (crossbreed ing), there at once takes place a battle of. breeds and the offspring will be like that parent whose blood is strongest. When, therefore, two old breeds, as Tamworth and Berkshire, or Jersey and Holsteln, are mated, there . 1b a bitter conflict between bloods and influences that have requir ed centuries to reach their present state. In cross breeding the first cross is sometimes good, but after that such breeding .1* very uncertain, because the nature of iho offspring will de pond upon whichever of its bloods gets the mastery. Moreover, there is a dar.ger that sometimes the good blood in each parent will balance that In the other, which will causo an out cropping of some bad characters that had been held in check ever since the breeds began. Because of this uncertainty of re sults, a crossbred sire should never be used nor any crossbred females kept for brooding, except where a pure bred is at the head of the herd. Be cause breeders understand this, a crossbred cKn never bring more on the market than it is worth for meat or wo-lt. and the farmer who breeds such animals loses his chande of sell ing bis best prodcct at purebred prices. If for no other reason than this, a farmer should heatiate to cross breed. Keep in mind clearly the dif ference between the purebred and the crossbred. The purebred is the off spring of two purebred parents of the same breed. The crossbred is the offspring of two purebred parents of different breeds. A 4 crossbred can never be registered, even if each of its parent* was a breed champion. *? If cross breeding ie inadvisable, however, grading is advisable and to recognized as the quickest economical war of building up a herd. Grading it the mating of a purebred wRh a scrub or with a grade. Generally the pure bred used is the sire and the serub or grade is the dam. Grading Is perfectly safe because all the power is on ene ?We and the results ean be predicted. A purebred Angve bull mated with scrub oows will produce calves , of which more than eighty per cent are pure black and hornless, such is the power ot pure blood ever mixed blood. There is no better way for the young breeder to begin than with ? glade herd and a purebred sire. In a few years he oan make hla herd as profitable as purebreds and will have learned how to take care of a pure* bred. But let him avoid cross breed ing. J. M. BURG BBS, Associate, Professor of Dairying, Clemson Agricultural College. Last year the extension division of Clemson College put forth its great* est efforts in a campaign for increas ing the acreage 'of wheat and oats. This year it is again urging the sow ing of wheat and oats, but has added livestock to its propaganda. "Take the second step ? livestock." Manure Is subject to heavy losses from several sources. For Instance, many farmers lose practically all their liquid manure, yet this contains more valuable plant food than the solid. There are a number of ways to save stable manure and every farmer should exert himself- to get the most possible out of his manure. The most serious limiting factor in Southern agriculture is la<jk 9.1 humua in the soil. The easiest and most economical way to get humus in the soil is by growing and turning winter legumes. This also enables a farmer to get nitrogen from the air and cut hlfl fertiliser bills. City Meat Markel One door north of SmitVi Garage.
