Bunch Grapes Need Spray With
Bordeaux

Bunch grapes, such as the Concord
and Siagara varieties, should be
sprayed with Bordeaux mixture to
control black rot disease which causes
the berries to dry up and drop from
the punches.
The first application should be
made when the second or third leaf
is showing. The next spray is before
the blossoms are open and the third
application should come when the
berries are about the size of BIB shot.
This will suffice if two-pound
paper sack is slipped over each bunch
with the top folded over and secured
with pin. The grapes will continue
to develop and color within the bag
and be protected from infection, as
we'll as birds and insects. If this is
not done, the grapes should be spray
ed two weeks after they reach the
BIB shot stage. If there are periods
of wet weather before the grapes are
ripe, additional applications of Bor-
deaux may be necessary.
The following advice will be help
full in preparing Bordeaux mixture:
Dissolve one pound of blueStone in
II gallons of water. Mix one pound
Of hydrated lime (plasterer's finish
ing lime) in a little water to make
thin paste. Stir this slowly through
sieve into the bluestone water.
When spraying, agitate the liquid
frequently to prevent settling of the
materials.
When chewing insects are present,
two ounces of arsenate of lead should
be added to the 10 gallons of Bor-
deaux mixture. Leaf hoppers can be
controlled by spraying the underside
of the leaves with 40 percent nico-
tine sulphate (blaclz leaf 4O) at the
rate Of one teaspoonful to one gall
Ion of water to which is added a
small quantity of soap about the size
of small walnut

Capital Gossip

Raleigh, April Ex-Governor Clyde

license No. has ground out g.
600 miles on its speedometer and it
will not be two years old until this
June; but it will make even that
figure soar much higher if the chief
executive accepts all the invitations
he has received, is receiving and will
receive to address college and school
graduating classes.
They are pouring in, and the ever
anxious to oblige governor is rue
fully regretting he cannot possibly
accept them all.
George Stell, who has been show
ing visitors over the Capitol and a.
round Capitol Square since the legis-
lature convened, will continue to do
the courtesies for at least two more
months, it was decided yesterday by
the Board of Public Buildings and
Grounds.
BY that time the annual influx OF
visiting school classes will have end

Sportsmen who like to catch big
red drum will hasten off to Hatteras
and the Banks as soon as they read
the reports, now coming from that
northeast section that commercial
fishermen are actually complaining
that big schools of the red drum
are damaging their nets. Some fish
ermen come in with more pounds of
drum than of shad they say. The
drum are reported as just beginning
to feed on the beeches.

Fertilizer Important In Tobacco
Production

High analysis fertilizers are i'm
portant in the production of the Gig
arette-type tobacco. Records show
from 800 to 1000 pounds of a 1856
mixture per acre for light and low
productive soils, and the same amount
per acre Of a 3-10-6 mixture for
heavy and more productive soils give
the best results.
A formula derived on the following
basis usually gives very satisfactory
results. One third of the nitrogen
from high grade organic materials
from plant or animal origin, such as
cottonseed meal, blood, fish meal or
animal tankage; and the other two
thirds from water soluble materials
such as nitrate Of soda or sulphate
OF ammonia. The source of the phos-
phate is derived from super-phos-
phate. The potash should come from
at least two sources, and in some
cases it is advisable to get it from
three. On sandy soil, where "sand
drown may occur, two percent
should come from muriate of potash,
and the remainder from sluphate of
potash magnesia. Otherwise, sui
phate of potash may be used.
Potash may be used in excess of
6 percent to very good advantage
Additional potash will give added
quality, more uniform ripening, and
will reduce the damage done by leaf
spot diseases. However, it is not safe
to use more than percent i'm
