planting the soil should be plowed four
or five times. thus reversing the lands
so as to make the ridge come where
the furrow previously was There
should be left at least tree or four feet
of loose soil where each vine is plant
ed, thus affording the roots ample
room to Spread. This will insure
against effects Of droutbs. Only
strong one year vines should be used.
The holes In which the vines are plant
ed should be Of sufficient size to give
room for the roots to spread out in
their natural positions, say from Is to

TO allow the vines to be set about 2
inches deeper than as they grow IN
ordinary nursery rows.
Where they can be secured. it is
very beneficial to put few pounds Of
bones in each hole and cover the bones
with a sprinkling of soil before the
vines are planted or transplanted as
the case may be. The tops Of the vines
should be cut back two or three inches.
In planting, the holes should be filled
with the finest and richest soils.
THE beauty of grape culture is
that when once started right it needs
no special cultivation beyond that nee
essary to keep the vines from from
weeds, and what cultivation is then
given should be very shallow. Ordin-

workings there is nothing better than

CATION belt in the lower Pecos valley
Of Texas:
TT has been about five years now
since Pecos valley grape culture was
first begun commercially and its
growth fs now on a sure basis. Here
tofore, because of the more Immediate
returns from alfalfa and small grain,
farmers have generally passed by crap
culture, Notwithstanding the returns
from 1t are many times greater than
from almost any other crop. Since the
opening of the state irrigated expert
mental farm near this city, Dr.. Har-
rington, state superintendent, instruct
ed me to give special attention to
grape culture and experimentation
Accordingly we have imported II diff
ferent varieties of grapes from Fresno,
Cal, and they were planted in rows
10 feet apart each plant being 10 feet
apart, giving each plant 100 square
feet Of planting surface. The plants
are about three months old and are
all doing splendidly. They will fruit
next year beyond any doubt but we
will Gull the fruit and let the plant
absorb more strength, letting Inem
partially fruit the third year and the
fourth year giving them all the fruit

In preparing the ground it should

is to plow the ground IN what are |
