The Tarheel
Gardener
BY JOHN H. HARRIS
N. e. State COllepe

The grape is one of the most
popular fruits generally found in
the home garden and has gained
in popularity with the passing Of
years. The North Carolina home
garden is incomplete if it does not
contain at least a few vines. The
Muscadine grape which includes
such varieties as the Scuppernong,
James and Mish are well adapted
in central and Eastern Carolina,
but because of the short growing
season and low temperature, they
do not do well in the mountains.
The bunch varieties such as Fre-
donia, Concord, Niagara, Della
ware, Lutte and Catawba reach
their highest perfection in the
mountains and in the foothills.
However, they can be grown
satisfactorily in all parts of the
state when an annual program OF
care is followed which includes
pruning, fertilization, and protec-
ting the vines against insects and
diseases.
Muscadine grape vine are dioeci-
GUS plants, that is some plants
bear only male blossome and
others are female in or bear.
i ing vines which are fertilized
by small bees carrying the
pollen from plant to plant. It is
therefore necessary to plant a
male vine near the varieties to
be grown when the paintings are
some distance from native male
vines.
Certain varieties of bunch grapes
such as Concord and Catawba do
not set fruit well when planted
alone. These varieties should be
planted with Delaware, Niagara,
Ontario, and Moores Early, in order
grapes like the Muscadine varie-
to insure good pollination. Bunch
require annual pruning in order
to develop vigorous branches and
to keep the vines with bounds
Most of all bunch grapes need
many sprays with Bordeaux mix
ture in order to control black rot.
Both the Muscadine and Bunch
grapes may be bought from most
nurserymen and should be plant
ed during the fall or winter.

The Growth Of interest in dairy
farming throughout North Carolina
during recent years has been al
most phenominal. For instance, l
have before me a typical report,
coming in last week. from Rutaer-
ford County in which F. E. Patton
farm agent, said he had just finish
ed looking over an old dairy list
which he had compiled back IN
1923 This old list showed that in
that year, H. M. Sain was milking
s COWS, B. G. Moore was milking
Z il. Crow was milking 9. W. S.
Bridges was milking IL, j. c. NC
Fadden was milking 5, and O. J..
Holler was milking COWS.
These six men were about all the
dairymen there were In Ruther-
ford County at the time and each
of them had a small pasture OF
some kind-probably the tradition
al old pasture in which three
strands OF barbed wire enclosed
an eroded pine thicket-. They each
grew a small amount of feed crops;
thev had no dairy buildings OF any
kind, and they were selling a ''D
grade OF milk.
But visit the six farms today.
Each of the six men is an expert
dairyman and proud OF his pro-
fession. All Of them are producing
grade f milk with the exception
OF one and he is installing a
modern plant at this time. The
best pastures to be found in the
county are located on their farms
and they are producing an abund-
ance of all kinds of feed crops.
Messrs. Crow, Moore, and Bridges
are milking about SO cows each
and Messrs. McFadden, Sain and
Holler are milking between Is and
30 COWS each at this time.
There are other men in the
county who are watching this
dairy progress with considerable
interest and Mr.. Patton says they
will eventually begin to expand
their herds and their feed-growing
activities. This interest in dairying
seems to be contagious because
as told about an incident in Iredell
County in a recent column, those
farmers who milk cows generally
have the most fertile farms, the
most comfortable homes, and the
most dependable income sources.
So firmly do the people over in
little Polk County believe this that
they are beginning to add the
dairy heifers which are being made
available through the q H club
Foundation recently formed in that
county. J. A. Wilson says that
eleven fine Jersey heifers were
brought into the county last Mon.
Gay and were distributed to Gerald
Edwards, Allen Wilson, Roy Jack
John Steppe, Clarence Wilson,
Ray Wilson, Russell Stott, Annie
Powell, William Earl Skipper, Al
vim Stott, and John Ruff. Alfred
Walker was another club member
to get heifer, but his arrived day
or so earlier.
These eleven highly-bred ami.
mails were selected from the best
herds in Catawba County and
their purchase was made possible
through donations OF $100 and
above by civic-minded individuals
and business firms who aided
Farm Agent Wilson in organizing
the dairy foundation. Each person
interested donated $100 which is
sufficient to buy one purebred, reg

The tension among the crowd
was steadily mounting as the
horses were walked out to the bar
rier. Directly across the track from
Terry's box a group of white-haired
judges We're talking and nodding to
the crowd. The horses moved skit-
tishly up to the barrier, then
backed away. Tense moments
passed until they were all in line.
Then suddenly they were off, their
polished hoofs beating into the
white dust Of the track.
Terry's heart seemed to leap with
them. This was it! This was the last
beautiful moment of her DREAM
her future was down there in the
white dust Of that track-in the
flying heels Of Ultimo Ventura.
When they were on the backstretch
she saw him again. His g%listenlng
body was moving with fluid ease,
but he vas not putting up such a
good show. He was second from the
end. Terry screamed at him.
Come on, Ultimo! Come ON"
She saw him move up past the
third horse. In her wild tension she
felt she had accomplished the mir
acle. She forgot the crowd, the
smiling people in the box with her.
She screamed until her lungs
ached.
-Four more to 60. Come on,
baby! Three more to go! Alta boy!

he'd be ahead. Come ON"
He was ahead-Ultimo Ventura

already crossed the finish line.
A moment Of breathless silence
hushed the crowd waiting to hear
the result. Which horse had won?
After an interminable wait a
voice cracked over the loud speak,

her white handbag and departed.
In the garden restaurant were
white, wrought iron tables with
glass tops that sparkled in the sum
light. Terry chose a table close to
a marble fountain and ate her
breakfast slowly, enjoying every
mouthful. Delicious melon balls,
iced cold, a lamb chop grilled to a
deep amber, French rolls, hot from
the oven, and a silver pot of coffee.
The taxi spun along the wide
boulevard, past tall houses set
deeply in velvet lawns. Neatly
clipped hedges. and myriads of
flowers nodded in the sun. The cars
were pouring toward Palermo Park
in an unbroken line. Terry felt a
warm glow Of satisfaction. Just to
be a part of this gay scene seemed
to be enough. All Argentina loved
race day, and this was the great
est day Of all. Most of the shops
along Avenido de Mayo would be
closing their doors. Soon neWsboys
carrying loads bigger than them
selves of La Prensa, Ell Mundo and
La Nacion would be invading the
streets with the latest news of the
race.
Your change, Senorita," he
called after her.
BET it on the race" Terry flung
back over her shoulder.
1t was a happy, laughing crowd
that Terry shouldered her way
through toward the betting WIN
dows. Finally she was facing the
man behind the grill work. She
showed a roll of bills at him and
heard her oWn unreal sounding
voice say. Put it on Ultimo Ven
tura to win"
A small boy dressed in the gay
costume of the gaucho took her
ticket stub as she approached the
erandstand. He led her through
the crowd, up a flight of steps, and
finally to a box we'll out in front.
He pointed to one of the four
chairs. That is your seat"
Terry's excitement rose as she
saw the long sweep of track and
the impatient horses, with their
Jockeys walking them up and down
a paddock inside the track. People
were flowing in now in a colorful
stream, rapidly filling the grand
stand. An elderly couple and their
young daughter moved In Terry's
box.
More horses were led from the
whitewashed stables. She saw a
Jockey in a pale blue blouse with
No. 7 on his back. That must be

beautiful horse with a coat the

1t is no reflection on the pro-

gagged in legitimate enterprise

fact remains basketball gambling

chance to pick up the money Of

That, and the fact that the city

their own sports.
There has been no hint Of game

the subject still is punchy we d
like to take one more swing at
the basketball scandal involving
Brooklyn College players, just 10
cancel possible general IDEA tnat
the sport is so decayed that teams
trave, about with 10 men, coach
and private bookle.
Such broad statements as pas
ketball gambling sweeping coun-
try" we think leave a wrong I'M
preston. Sure, there may be pet
ting on games in remote places
and involving schools which r e
lust vague names IN the last
NIGHTS scores" column, but bet
ting is by remote control, SO to
speak. That is, big city gamblers
pick out those games as their meat
as they might make book on the
bank clearance figures in some
distant town, and nobody would
accuse the banking business as be-
ing rotten because there was pet
ting on the daily score.
The fact the scandal broke IN
a big city and involved a game to
have been played in another big
city naturally results in more pub
Iicity than if smaller communl'
ty was the scene, and the pub,
licity given the privately promoted
contests in a few Of the larger
cities tends to leave the impress,
sion they are the real basketball
centers and what happens there Is
true Of the country at large.
Well, we don't believe that is so
as the game is played in every
hamlet and practically every high
school and college in the nation
and for few cities to set them
selves up as centers because Of
