a Pruned Vine (A) and an Unpruned
Vine (5) Showing Method OF
Training by the Overhead caywood

center wire is fastened to posts which
are placed at regular intervals, and
the side wires are attached to three
foot cross arms of wood fastened to
the posts. The head of the vine is
annually cut back to five canes and
five spurs. The canes are fastened on
the wires, two in one direction and
three in the other, this division being
alternated each year. A and B shows
vines pruned and unpruned, trained
according to this system.
In the single cross-wire system posts
are set eight feet apart each way and
made to project six and one-half
feet above the ground, a single wire
running on top from post to post in
both directions. A single trunk vine
is trained up each pest, four canes
being run from it ut the top of the
post and one cane is fastened to each
of the radiating wires. These canes
are renewed each year.

Soluble salts should not occur in ex.
cess, although the vine will endure
large proportions Of alkah.
The deep roofing of grapevines is
absolutely essential to long-lived
plants and the production of large
yields of excellent fruit. In irrigated
sections, where rainfall does not oc-
cur during the growing season, the
depth of root penetration is deter
1ai1ed by the abundance and location
OF the moisture. Loose, open soils,
wetting easily to good depth, per-
NIT deep penetration Of the soil-mass
with feeding roots. Vines in such
soils make vigorous top growth, with
corresponding well developed stems
and spurs, and are capable, If prop
erly pruned, Of bearing enormous crops
Of well developed fruit of desirble
quality. Compact soils, carrying large
percentages of moisture near the sur
face and ncne below, cause the plants
to become shallow rooted. The min
eral food supply is consequently hIn-
tied and the roots are subjected to
extreme and rapid changes Of temper
ature and moisture. Such plants pro-
duce inferior fruit, the yielding dur
ing season varies greatly, the produc-
ing lifetime of the plant is short, and
the vineyard is likely to result in
financial loss. The selection Of the
right type of soil is therefore very
essential to success.
Pruning and training are also impor-
tant factors to consider in the culture
Of grapes.
In the overhead system the vines
are carried upon a canopy of over.
head arbor six feet above the ground,
consisting of. three horizontal wires
stretched at the same height. The

PRUNING BIackberrics.

1t is best to prune blackberries in
the fall. Usually only five or six canes
from each root should be allowed to
grow, the others being pulled out while
they are still small. When the canes
are two and one-half to three feet
high the tips should be cut or pinched
back two or three inches. This checks
upward growth and many laterals
push out These laterals bear the fruit
the following season.

Demand for Hen Turkeys.

In marketing turkeys the hen tur-
key is more in demand than the male
turkey. The market likes medium
sized turkeys. On some markets 15-
pound turkey OF over must await spe-

CURRANTS IN APPLE ORCHARD

Some of Best Varieties.

Currants are profitable and more

grow in almost any soil and bear well,
but they prefer a soil that is deep,
rich, well mellowed and well drained.
Currants do better when planted
where there is plenty Of shade. For

Louis Guisto, the sensational fielding

Minor Leaguers Look
Better Than Ex-FedS
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

II 10 very improbable that the New
York Yankees would have grabbed
all those minor leaguers last year
had II been known that the Federal
League was about to throw UP It's
hands and quit. And yet, the minor
leaguers have done far better work
for Donovan than have the Feds.
From the Feds Bill Donovan pur-
chased Nick Cullop. Lee Magee. and
Joe 0sdeon. OF the three only Gull
lop has made good. Magee. touted
a. second only to Benny Kauff and
certain to b q 800 hitter in the
American League. has been a real
Joke. Gedeon has disa ppointed all his
friends and made some scouts look
foolish by his poor work, both In the
held and at the bat.
On the other hand. the minor
lsaguers obtained by Donovan have
delivered the real goods. Look at
Allen Russell. Urban 6hocker. and
Walters. the young catcher from the
Texas League. Those three minor
leaguers make the former Feds look
like selling piaters when It comes to
real baseball ability. Yet they cost
Feds.

REGISTER TO BEAT
WILSON.
Everyone on the Job. Talks
are Good and Makes Fine
Sentiment, but Votes Count

In the Democratic platform
adopted at the St. Louis con-
vention is a plank which, if
not written by the President,
was put in with full knowledge
and consent; for he is report :
ed as the real author of the
St. Louis document. The
following is the plank to
which we refer:
"We challenge comparison
of our record, our keeping OF
pledges, and our constructive
legislation with those of any
part o any time
We need go no further than
to quote the following plank
adopted at the Baltimore con-
vention in 1912.
I'VE favor a single Presi-
dental term. and to that end
urge the adoption of an a
mendment to the Constitution
making the president of the
United States ineligible for re
election, and we pledge the
candidate OF this convention
to this principle"
Has President Wilson dur
ing his entire term made on,
single effort to keep tina
pledge? No: on the othe
hand, before his Inauguration
he took definite steps to pre-.
vent the pledge from being
carried out.
