Pruning the Grape

irrigation Branch Experiment Sta
ton, Harry Jensen. Horticulturist.
Grape growing in the Yakima val
ley is rapidly gaining in popularity,
evidenced by the commercial ship
ments Of the past few seasons. Eigh-
ty three carloads were shipped from
the valley in 1924, one hundred eighty
three in 1925 and a shipment of three
hundred carloads estimated for 1926.
The leading variety Of grape grown
is the Concord. Other less popular
varieties are Moores Early, Camp
bells Early, Island Belle and Worden.
All Of these belong to the Labrusca
group, more commonly termed the
Northern Fox grape group and are
found growing wild in Maine, which
is sufficient evidence of their hardi-
ness and resistance to winter injury
or killing.
In their natural habitat grapes are
great ramblers and will often vine
to the top Of tall trees. The fruit
produced on vines growing according
to native habit, however, is small and
inferior to that grown on our domes-
ticated vines. This is mainly due to
pruning. Vine growth in grapes var
les almost inversely with bearing.
That is, a vine growing great deal
will bear only lightly, while a vine
bearing heavily will make only a
slight growth. This rule, of course,
has its limitations, for a vine making
absolutely no growth would die and
produce no crop. The ideal system of
grape pruning then, is the one main
tanning a continued balance of vine
growth and bearing, thus producing
regular crops and not system pro-
ducing an alternating light and heavy
crop.
The Four Cane-Kniffen system of
pruning and trellising is undoubtedly
the system best adapted to the habits
Of the Concord and similar grape.
This system allows the squire to be
borne on horizontal arms. There are
several notifications of this system
tho. that are still to be worked out
for the irrigated districts.
With the above system of pruning,
the one year old wood is headed back
at varying lengths. Most growers
prune to two or three nodes (short-
spur system), some to six or seven
nodes renewal system), and some to
eleven or twelve nodes (renewal sys-
tenn. Middle western investigators
show that the fifth to tenth buds on
the one year old wood are the strong
est buds and produce the most and
the best grapes. If this is true, the
majority Of Washington growers are
removing their strongest buds annual
ly.
The Irrigation Branch Experiment
station at Prosser is working on the
various notifications of the Four
Cane Kniffen system. Yield and quail
ity records will be kept on each sys-
tenn and these records. taken over a
period of years, will be the indica-
tors of the pruning system best
adapted to the grape growers of the
irrigated districts Of Washington.

Mount Pavloff, on the Alaska Peninsula, which exploded
 ;hree years ago Christmas Eve, s apparently cracked all the way from the tip of the crater
 light down to the base of the peak, according to Alex Bolam, guide and big game hunter, who returned with a party to
 Seward recently. The party had their base camp on the. Boring Sea side near the base of Pavlof Mountain. The crater is visible from this side, but not from the Pacific side, as the crater proper is on the side of the peak close to the top. Vast columns of smoke and steam rise from the crater lip. Extending clear down the slope to the tableland below, a high blackened ridge runs. At intervals along this ridge seven or eight vents were dis cernable, the last of which was on the flats at the base of the mountain. Smoke and steam were cons..ntly emitted. Guide Bolam is inclined to be- lieve that the mountain is cracked all the way down, but it may be possible, he said, that a tunnel of lava has form ed in one of the canyons, from which smoke and fumes are released from vents. flowing from the crest. Just below the crater there is large portion of the moantai3 which ap- gears to be crstn:bling in.

Two Hudson Bay vessels, the Baychimo and the Baymaud are reported 200 miles south of Nome enroute tc the Arctic.
 Eric Eckman, aged 25, a Finn, won the Marathon Mountain race at Seward on July 4, the big feature of the celebration there. He made the 3,000-foot mountain climb and return to the base in 5S minutes and 26 seconds. Werner Ohls, also a Finn, was second, his time being 69 minutes and AT sec onds. Edward Vogel, aged 40, last years champion, was third, his time being 72 min utes and 2 seconds. The race was run in a downpour of rain which made the going slip pery. One thousand dollars was hung up as prize money. The record made by Alex Bol- man in 1916, has never been eQualled. His time was 54 minutes and 12 seconds.
 The Chamber of Commerce, of Portland, Oregon, recently created a committee to study the possibility of establishing a steamship line to Alaska, as proposed by the Foreign Trade Committee after gathering data on steamers available, cargo prospects and operating conditions. According to the report of the committee the project is feasible. Several large and speedy vessels could be obtained to put on the run, it is said. The route would cov- CT all Southeastern and South western Alaska. Tentative plans call for one round trip per week during the winter and more frequent trips dur ing the summer months.
 Deputy Marshal William But Ter arrived in Fort Yukon re- gently with the body of Frank Patton, which was found in the Beaver River country on May 23, by E. H. Woolard.
