Training Grape Vine.

z. q. Lodeman, Department OF Agrf-
culture Report: Training, on the other
hand. is almost wholly matter az
convenience. It does not affect the
strength of the vine or the value Of
the crop In any essential particular.
The training Of vine refers TO the dis
posal or arrangement of the various
parts Of the vine after pruning has
taken place. The method of training
adapted determines the operator to
leave certain growths in certain posi-
tons, not because more or better fruit
is expected, but for the reason. per-
haps, that the fruit may be harvested
with greater ease, that a laborfous op-
GRAFTON may be wholly dispensed with,
or that there may be less danger 70 the
maturing crop from winds or other nat
ural agencies. The method Of training
adopted by vlneyardist Is largely the
result of personal preference or of ed
ucation, although soil and variety are
important factors in the selection OF a
system. The health and vigor Of the
vine are rarely affected by the method
In which It is trained, and although
some system of training must be adopt
ed In every vineyard. still altogether
too much weight has been laid by most
horticultural writer's upon the peculiar
merits of the various systems, while the
actually ruinous effects Of bid pruning
have not always been sufficiently en-
phasized. A vine properly trained fs
desirable, but properly pruned vine
is essential to the highest success. The
Importance of this subject necessitates
a somewhat detailed statement Of the
principles which are vitality connected
with the proper pruning Of the vine.
These principles serve also az the foun-
dation for all systems OF training, and
they can not be ignored without more
or less injury to the plants.
