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 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 ,

| 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 ,

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

The cost of neatly printed sta-;
tionery will not hit the expense:

A printed letter head (especial I

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,

experience that his taste runs in

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.
