THE SOUTH WELL TREATED Henry Watterson's CourierJournal makes a very strong point against a critic of the ad ' ministration who claimed that the South was not being fairly treated Mr. Watterson refers to the fact that President Wilson was born in Virginia, grew to ! manhood in Georgia and South Carolina; Secretary of the Treas ury, a Georgia-Tennessee man; Attorney General and Postmas ter General, Texas; Secretary of the Navy, a Tar Heel; Foriegn Ministers largely from the South, Speaker of the House from Missouri; the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court aud several of the j istices are from the South; chairmen of the importjant Congressional Committees from Southern States. Where is there any ground for the slightest intimation that the South is not pretty fairly recog nized. Hut Marse Henry should re ! member that some people arc hard to satisfy. They want the whole hog or none. "Harkis is willin'." Vice Pi es ! ident Marshall says he will run again if nominated. Sure. Justice Hughes, of New York, says he will not be a candidate ' for the presidency on the Repub lican ticket. We can see where he is right. ( The U. S Senate, after long j debate decided to try prohibition ! on the Philippines. A bill forj bidding the manufacture, impor tatiou or sale of spiritous liquors | passed the Senate by a vote of JO to -JJ. New York Life, the mean tiling, says the reason W. J. I Bryan is opposed to preparedness is that on two different occasions he was prepared to he President of the United States, and there was nothing doing. (lev. Stanley refused to pardon out of the penitentiary ai Kentucky banker saying that the ' bunker had practiced every art; of deceit to secure the confidence of his fellowmoh and enticed them to put money in his bank when it was insolvent. Secretary Garrison, not agreeing entirely with the President as to the method of preparedness, has resigned, and at this writing his successor has not been appointed. Garrison is a very appropriate name for a War Secretary, but a garrison is not much needed when there is no war. The State celebrated its 25th birthday, Feb. 18th by issuing a magnificient special edition. Here's to you, State: xviay your greatness increase! We salute you, State! Work on in the paths of peace. THE QUAIL AND THE WEEVIL A statictician has estimated that the cotton farmers of Texas j lose between $40,000,000 and 1 $50,000,000 a year because, in spite of strict game laws and active game wardens, the rjuail, which is one of the enemies of the boll weevil, has been killed otT. Shall we follow the example of Texas and continue the destruct'on of the farmer's natural and most elticient ally? This writer is a lover of hunting and believes in the sport, but a crisis is approaching the cotton raising industry of this section?the weevil is coming. It may take three or live years, or i it may make its appears nee at inost any time. Hut sooner or i later, it is conning. We heartily agree with Mr , VV. R.

N.G. 123 | HOW AND WHEN TO i (Two branches of grape vines tha That on the left was properly pruned. The habits of growth and fruit-1 bearing of the bunch grape make it easy to prune and the work can be done much more systematically than with most other fruits. Furlhermoro, 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 continually cut back, the fruiting area will become farther removed from the main stem each year and will produce long, naked canes, which serve no purpose other than to convey 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 important objects in pruning, then, are to get the most bearing wood in the smallest space and to limit the bearing wood according to the ability of the vine to produce well developed fruit. Not infrequently vines are al-, lowed 'o retain too much bearing wood and there is a consequent waste of j energy in the production of many small, inferior bunches. For best resuits, our common varieties more than four years old should be pruned so as to bear not more than from seventy to ono hundred clusters. The method of pruning la determln-1 ed In part by tho kind of training | practiced. There are aeveral good systems. One of the simplest, which la alao one of the best for the South, la that known as the double Knlffln system of training, in which ate developed two trirtiks, each of which carries two arms trained to a twowire trellia. Use a one- or two-year-old vine for transplanting and cut back the top to ' i three or four strong buds. That vigorous canes may be produced, rub ofT ill shoots that appear during summer, except the strongest three. Only two ihoots are necessary, but It is well , :o leave throe, In case one should be h Se A Business Farmer It is becoming increasingly lecessary for the farmer to be a justness man and it is advisable ^ or bira to imitate the methods >f city business men, who have j been at the art a longer time bhan he and have developed it more. It is chielly in what might he called little things that the Jiderence between the businesslike and the unbusinesslike farmer is revealed and in none more than the business letters nt each. There is really little reason why a lawyer or a merchant or a manufacturer should show more , courtesy to the farmer than the. farmer shows to them, in the matter of correspondence. Yet ?i,.? ?i.? * umi 10 i lie way it seeiue ro worn ^ when one compares the letters ot' the two sides. The cost of neatly printed sta-; tionery will not hit the expense: side of a farmer's ledger hard ! enough to count, while the use [ of it is more than likely to do' fine things for the pr >fit side, j A printed letter head (especial I ly when the farm has been given ' an attractive name as every j farm should be) will create a( favorable impression, will ailver- ' tise the farm and its products,will identify the w.iter no mat-! ter how he scrawls his signature, and will make him and all his family feel a little extra pridein the farmstead. la South Carolii a, und the South generally, farmers who use printed letterhads are as yet comparatively few; the number is still small enough to make a good looking farm letterhead conspicuous. For this reason, those who begin this practice at once wnl get the benefit of the extra publicity tnat goes with novelty ?Ciemson News Notes. There must have been consid I l - I - ? I ' erauie loinying aono, to cause our distinguished Legislators to pass a law allowing an individual to import sixty pints of beer per month. A committee should be appointed to investigate Bob Gonzales, as he had sinister motives in seeing such a law passed, and we know from experience that his taste runs in t hat direction. JRUNE BUNCH GRAPES | ? t grew side by side In the same row. That on right was not pruned at all.) injured. The following winter (after constructing the trellis) remove the weakest of the three canes and cut hack those remaining, one at the first wire and the other at the top wire. Securely tied to the wires, 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 subsequent years consists in cutting back new canes to two buds or entirely renewing 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 probnble lack of a strong cane to take its place. On the other hand, the practice of cutting back canes to two buds, continued a long time, will cause a thick, objectionable mass of spurs to accumulate along the arms. i lie most desirable way is to combine the renewal plan with the spur method 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 distance 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 1 only difference between these two bunches being that the vine of one was pruned, while that of the other was not. F. J.
