he has sacrificed to the common well
fare.
At any rate. the office Of roads is
now taking special pains to make clear
the economic advantage of avoiding
steep grades in other roads. even at
some sacrifice Of better land. Inves-
tigation shows that the laying Of such
roads over hills has resulted more
from attention to the preservation Of
farm lines than from scientific atten-
tion to the problem of road building.
According to the testimony Of farm
ers consulted, where horse might be
able TO pull 1000 pounds on a level
road. IL would have difficulty in pulling
5000 pounds up a steep hill. The size
Of the load. therefore. tends to be
measured by the grade OF the largest
hill on the road to market. In a num-
Der Of cases actual experiment shows
that the relocating of roads around
hills has been accomplished. either
with no addition in road length in
some instances, and with the adding
of only a few feet to the highway In
others. The Office knows of no case
where a properly relocated road
which has cut out grades has led to
any question as to its material reduc-
tion OF hauling costs.

The grape is one OF the Oldest and

the fruit and the readiness with which
1t adapts itself to different localities,
II is to be found in all parts Of the
world. Nearly every farm. and city

favorite variety planted about the

fruit every year. nevertheless they are

FARMERS AT THE SOUTHERN Ed
UCATION CONFERENCE

Farmers and farmers wives were
the most important people at the
Southern Education Conference in
Louisville last week. They were
there from all parts OF Kentucky
and from many other states, and
Madison and adjoining counties we're
well represented.
A number OF institutions and or
carnations had exhibits in the
spacious armory, but Berea's Fire
side Industries" and Vocational and
agricultural exhibits attracted more
attention than any others. The con-
trast between the old and the new
methods Of farming so strikingly
brought out by our exhibit brought
home 10 all farmers who saw II the
necessity Of using the best ma
chinery obtainable, and Of doing
everything on the farm in a manner
that will bring the largest returns
for the least possible expenditure OF
,-poney and labor, and at the same
| .tne increase the fertility OF the soil.

fully taken from the soil so as not
TO break the roots, washed thorough
ly clean and exhibited in a large
glass jar filled with water so that
the thousands OF little roots we'll

RELOCATE MANY OLD ROADS
Department OF Agriculture Advises
Cutting Out Of Grades on High
ways to Save Horses.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agrculture)
The average life of horses and au-
tomobiles may be increased and the
cost OF hauling reduced, according to
the ONCE Of roads Of the department
OF agriculture, by relocating many old
roads and the more scientific laying
out OF new ones. The natural tenden-
cy In road building is to build a
straight road, whether II goes over
steep grades or hills, or not, and pull
ing over these grades naturally adds
to the wear and tear on horses and
vehicles.
The doctrine of the ONCE of roads is
that the longest way around may often
be the shortest and most economical
way home, and that frequently by
building a highway around a hill or
grade, but little appreciable distance
is added and this is more than offset
by the reduced strain Of hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point Of view is that the lay
ing out Of roads on this principle Of
avoiding grades necessitates, In some
cases, running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures, in
stead Of going around the farm line
and building the road through old
wornout fields and over rocky knobs.
This. OF course, must raise a question
In the mind Of the individual land
owner as to whether the cutting up of
his property by a road yields him In.
dividual advantages and so benefits his
community as to Offset the use of such
land for road, or to overcome the in
convenience Of having his land d.
vided. In this connection the office Of
roads points out that the running of a
road and the resulting traffic through
a good farm, where there are good
sheep. cattle, horses, grain. fruit or
vegetables, has a certain advertising
value and in many instances makes
the land more valuable. In other
cases, the Importance Of such level

II might well repay those using the
road to give the farmer the equivalent

are vigorous growers and the ordi-
the forest where the grape grows wild
over the trees one can not help but
notice the distance which the fruit is
located from the main trunk. The
neglected vine presents condition
very similar to the wild one in the
forest The vine in the forest aims
10 produce fruit in order to perpetuate
itself and the neglected vine to a
lesser degree is doing likewise.
Pruning Requisite To Yield.
When left unpruned only a small
amount of fruit is borne at the ex-
tremities of the branches. To produce
quality OF fruit of any kind II is neces-
sary that the plant be pruned and
kept in bounds. Otherwise the amount
OF wood will become so great that all
OF the plant food will be used in keep
the air and sunlight are excluded and
black rot and other troublesome fun
gous diseases are also very common.
Many growers neglect to prune their
vines because they do not understand
the proper way to go about this work.
The terms pruning and training are
often confusing. Grapes are pruned
in order to reduce the amount OF wood,
to limit the production of fruit, and TO
keep the vine in control so that 1t
may be easily managed. The object
in training grapes is to arrange the
vine according to some definite sys.
TEN so that the air and sunlight may
reach the fruit readily.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1914-04-16

important point In grape pruning is to
remove a large amount OF wood so as
to limit the number OF buds ordi.
narily at least twothlrds OF a vine
may be safely cut away. Usually not
more than twenty buds should be left
after the operation Of pruning Is COM
pleted. In removing the canes try and
remove the weaker ones and leave the
stronger ones.
Grapes may be pruned any time aft.
or the leaves drop until the buds start
to swell. II pruning is neglected too
long and is then done after buds start
TO swell, the vine will bleed. While
bleeding Is rather detrimental to the
plant, II is not as bad as some people
think II Is.
There are a great many systems
used In pruning the grape, but most
OF them depend on the annual remov-
Ing of the wood that bore that season.
Double kniffn Method.
The following is a description of one
method known as the Double Kniffin.
This method has given splendid re.
suits at the Kentucky Experiment Sta
ton Farm.
The vine is allowed to grow at will
the first season. After the seasons
growth is over the vine il cut back.
leaving only two or three buds near
the ground. From these buds two
shoots are permitted to grow the sec
ond season. At this time the vine
should be trellised. Two posts are
placed firmly in the ground about four
feet from the vine each way. Connect
the posts by two heavy wires, one
wire two and a half feet high, the 9TH
er five feet high. II the growth made
the second season is satisfactory, one
OF the shoots from the buds referred
to may grow until 1t reaches the low.
er wire and the other the top wire.
Pinehins OF Tips.
When the, wire is reached the tip
should be pinched off so as to cause
the formation Of lateral branches.
These lateral branches should be ar.
ranged so that they will travel along
the wires in both directions. At the
end of the second season these lateral
branches should be cut back so that
there are not more than three or four
buds to each. The young shoots that
are to bear the fruit will hang down
from these buds. IL these shoots be-
come too long II is a good plan to
pinch them off and thus allow them
to bear only one or two branches for
a season or two. The following spring
cut the four old canes back to the
young canes near the trunk and tie
to the wire in the same manner as
the previous season. This method
should be kept up every year. As the
vine grows older the number of buds
left upon the bearing canes may be
increased from year to year.
Key To illustrations.
Figure one is photograph of
bearing vine in the fall of the year
before the pruning is begun. A and B

the shoots which grew from them and
bore fruit this past season.
