FARM NOTES

California grapes are selling on
the Popiarville market at 35 cents
per pound At the same time
Thomas grapes grown locally by the
Experiment Station are being sold
here at 10 cents per pound. While
the grapes from California are ex-
cellent and will ship for better than
those locally grown, it seems a
shame that the people in country
so well suited to growing these
musadine grapes should have to pay
so much for the foreign ones.
Spaced as they are here an acre
If these Thomas grapes would accom-
date PCS vines, and those vines are
yielding an average of % pounds
each, thus returning to the growers
at 10 cents per pound. $3.50 per
acre. They were set in vineyard in
February 1921 and are too young to
have reached their maximum cap
acity
This Thomas Crane is a selection
from the common muscadine grape
which grows wild in this territory.
but it is as much an improvement
over the wild grape as any of the
cultivated crops are over their pro-
genitors Conditions here seem to be
exactly suited to the production Of
such grapes, ana where ever grown,
il given reasonable care and atten-
ton, they yield ahundantly.
A mistake frequently made in
planting grapes OF this type, in
GLIDING the scuppernoug, is in not
having male vines properly distri-
buted through the vineyard. The
wild muscadine has a perfect flower
that is, the bloom has the male and
female element produced in the same
flower It is different with the
improved varieties which have I'M
perfect flowers, the male element
being produced on oEe vine and the
female appears on another. Unless
this feature is looked after one is
likely 80 have poor results in growing
grapes OF this type and the Station
is frequently called opon to diagnose
troubles in the community where
healthy vines bear no fruit.
