The habits of growth and fruit. bearing of the bunch grape make It easy to prune and the work can be done much more systematically than with most other fruits. Furthermore, it will stand very severe pruning with out injury. The fruit is borne on new shoots from the preceding year's growth and unless the vine is con tinually cut back, the fruiting area will become farther removed from the main stein each year and will produce long, naked canes, which serve no purpose other than to convoy plant food to the more remote fruit-bearing parts. Moreover, if the vine is left to itself, more fruit will form than the plant can properly develop. The im portant objects in pruning, then, are to get the most bearing wood in the smallest space and to limit the bear ing wood according to the ability of the vine to produce well developed fruit. Not infrequently vines are al lowed to retain too much bearing wood and there is a consequent waste of energy in the production of many small, inferior bunches. For best re suilts. our common varieties more than four years old should be pruned so as to bear not more than from seventy to one hundred clusters. The method of pruning is determin ed in part by the kind of training practiced. There are several good systems. One of the simplest, which is also one of the best for the South.: is that known as the double Kniffin system of training, in which are de veloped two trunks, each of which carries two arms trained to a two wire trellis. Use a one- or two-year-old vine fo: transplanting and cut back the top to three or four strong buds. That vig orous canes may be produced, rub off all shoots that appear during summer, except the strongest three. Only two shoots are necessary, but it is well to leave three, in case one should be SPRING ONION POINTERS Some Practical Suggestions About How and When to Plant Seeds and Sets for Beat Onions. Onions may be growni in spring from seed1 or from sets. Hlowever, spring planting of seedI is not generally so satisfactory and sets are recommend ed for the man who neglected to plant in fall and wvho wants early onions. For best results with seed, plant them In October, In order that the plants may become established before severe winter- weather begins and that the onions may grow off rapidly in spring andl mature early in June. Still, if seed are planted very early in spring andl conditions are favor able, they will make good onions, al though they will be smaller and later than those from fall-sown seed. Onions should be planted on ver-y sandly loam, After the land has been thoroughly prepared by deep plowing and repeated harrowing, apply ferti lzer- andl manure biroadcast and har row into the first three or four inches of soil very thoroughly. Lay off rows fifteen inches apart, plant the seed in the drill, and cover the seed to a depth of one-half to three-fourths of an inch. When the young seedlings ap pear, cultivate frequently in order to dlestroy weeds and maintain moisture. Thin out the onions so as to leave them standing three or four inches apart in the row. To grow onions from sets, prepare and fertilize the land as when plant ing the seed and plant the sets just as soon01 in spring as soil conditions will permit, Plant them three to four inches apart in rows fifteen inches apart, . White Pearl and Prizotaker are the two most reliable varieties for this region. Sets are more convenient for the \home-gardener,. but for a commercial onion planter, seed-planting is to be preferred, because onions grown from Seed keep better than those grown from sets and because seed cost less than sets, 0. 0.

That on right was h.pt pruned at all.) injured. The following winter (after constructing the trellis) remove the weakest of the three, canes and cut back those remaining,.one at the first wire and the other at the top wire. Securely tied to the wit'es, they form the permanent trunks of the vine. In the third year, select two strong canes coming out near the extremity of each trunk and train them along the wires in opposite directions to form arms. Then shorten them back to a length of two, three, or four feet, this depending on the vigor of the vine. All other canes are cut off close to the trunk. Pruning in the fourth and subse quent years consists in cutting back new canes to two buds or entirely re newing the arms by cutting them out and training new canes to take their places. It is not always _possible to renew an arm, because of the prob able lack of a strong cane to take its place. On the other hand, the prac tice of cutting back canes to two buds, continued a long time, will cause a thick, objectionable mass of spurs to accumulate along the arms. The most desirable way is to combine the renewal plan with the spur meth od and thereby suit the pruning to the vigor and general form of the vine. In cases where it sems best to prune an arm to spurs, thin them to a dis tance of six to eight inches apart to prevent the setting of more fruit than the vine can properly develop. The best time to prune the bunch grape is in spring, just before the buds come out. Do not delay until the season is too far advanced. That pruning produces results is shown in the accompanying illustration, the only difference between these two bunches being that the vine of one was pruned, while that of the other was not. F. J. CRIDER, Associate Professor of Horticulture, Clemson Agriculture College. REPAIRING FARM MACHINERY Don't Walt Until Spring Rush Begins But See to It Beforehand That im plements are In Good Condition. Have you forgotte about that brok en piece, lost bolt, or loose nn't on one of the implements that you intended attending to durinug winter? There is still plenty of time for such things, but it will be unwise to let them wait until the spring rush of work begins and hurr-y calls for the machinery come with it. Remember the "stitch in time" andl use the cold, rainy (lays for overhauling broken implements and sharpening dull blades. Why wait until your oats are ready to cut before pulling out your binder and finding that there- is a new piece to be ordered? This may cost you a week or two of valuable- time and af ter you have waited impatiently through several days of fine weather, it is as likely as not that rain will be gin to fall. When you order repairs at such a time, you will find that oth ers are doing likewise. The manufac turers are rushed with orders and the delay is often such that you are driven to purchase a new machine. Now is the time to inspect your equipment andl put in your orders for necessary parts. Keeping a machine well repaired and well oiled not only increases its efficiency and length of life, but also lessens the power necessary to oper ate it. After inspecting an. implement, tightening nuts, renewing broken parts, and sharpening dull blades, a coat of paint should be applied. It will prevent the iron from rusting and the wood from'decaying and will pro. long the life of an implement several years. For painting, there is nothing better than red loadl and linseed oil. A. H.

Chester.-A letter was received from J. L. Glenn, Jr., by relatives which gives an interesting account of his doings since he left Oxford uni versity at the beginning of the Christmas vacation. le has been in France during that time with head quarters in Paris and has been operat ing a motor car for French army bur geons, his duties being mostly to transport surgeons from one hospital to another. He writes that he has had several splendid trips and has enjoyed the scenery and the oppor tunity to become intimately acquaint ed with the French people. He was provided with a car of one of the leading French makes, and with the splendid roads that France possesses has greatly enjoyed his work. He wrote that he would return to Oxford between January 20 and February 1 to resume his studies. Revenue Officers Busy. Greenville.-R. Q. Merrick, internal revenue officer with headquarters in Greenville, has with his assistants raided 27 illicit distilleries during the month of January.

In addition to breaking up the Mutfits, thousands of gallons. of .beer or' liG~or !n the making were poured out by the offfcers. Although the number of stills Jocatedt was large, the number of' men arlrested was small, not more than five having been caught. Since teb revenue offiLcers have become more id~ more active, the mnoonshiners are mnore wary.
