PRUNING GRAPE VINES EARLY
Comparatively Easy Matter to Deter
mine About How Much OF the OLD
Wood to Leave on Vine.

nv ]. G. MOORE, Wisconsin Experiment
Station)
Grape vines that were not pruned
last fall should receive attention II
profitable crop is desired. The earlier
the vines are pruned in the spring the
better, as the grape vine "bleeds' bad
" whom pruned too near the time OF
production.
As the grape produces its fruit at
the first four or five joints on new
growth arising from wood produced
the year previous, 1t will be a COM
paratively easy matter, with the lore
going fact in mind, to determine
about how much Of the old WOOD to
leave on the vine. Usually from thlr'
~ to forty buds will be enough to
provide for the seasons growth. A
greater number Of buds Will likely
result in more fruit clusters OF an
inferior quality.
II the fruiting wood shows a ten
dency to grow farther away from the
main trunk, a good, vigorous shoot
arising from near the base Of the vine
or near the head should be left to re-
new the fruting area the coming
year.
Too little pruning rather than too
much is the common fault In grape
culture. While to the average person
not experienced in such matters, the
removal of so large a portion of the
vine may seem wasteful and injurious,
nevertheless, 1t is a necessity in sue
cessful grape growing.
