Muscadine grapes shatter readily
from the stem. When che fruit is in
tended for wineries it is harvested by
jarring the berries from the vines on
to large canvas sheets. Fruit for Ia
BILE use should be hand picked. BY
careful hand picking, the fruit of some
varieties can be secured in clusters
and it sells for a higher price upon
the market.
One Of the purposes of the investi-
cations now carried on by the depart
ment is to develop, through breeding
work, varieties in which the berries
will adhere better to the cluster. Some
other aims of the breeding investiga-
tons are Q) to originate perfect-fow-
cred, self-fertile varieties, to eliminate
the necessity of interplanting with
male vines, and (2) to originate vari-
cites having larger clusters and fruit
Of better quality.
The muscadine grapes are very pro-
ductive, and up to the present time
remunerative prices have been secured
for the fruit.

planted on new land the land should
be well prepared and some annual
crop requiring cultivation be grown on
If at least one season.
Until recently it was common be-
lief that muscadine vines could not be
pruned without killing them. This has
been shown to be a mistake, but there
are still persons who advocate the
growing of vines without pruning. The
safest plan, according to knowledge
now available, is to follow moderate
pruning.
In training the vines, two systems
are employed, "a the horizontal, or
overhead system, by which the growth
is spread on an overhead canopy about
seven feet above the ground and sup
ported by posts. and CD the upright, or
vertical, system, in which the growth
IS spread over vertical trellis. Both
have their advantages.

LESPEDEzA MAKES GOOD HAY
Splendid for Home Use and for Mar
ket When Pure Quality Is OBJ
tained-Best on Low Lands.

Lespedeza or Japan clover makes a
splendid hay for home use and for the
market when pure quality is OBJ
tanned. Lespedeza is too small plant
to make much hay, but it makes up in
thickness Of stand what it lacks in
height and may be depended upon to
yield from one to three tons per acre
where the land is prepared and seed
sowed as for other crops.
Lespedeza, of course, does better on
low lands where there is good supply
of moisture, but also does well on hilly
land where the soil is reasonably fer
tile and the season is not too dry.
Perhaps no other plant can be so
easily grown on all kinds Of soils, so
easily cured. or will furnish as much
excellent hay with as little expense as
