Outlines grape vines in the
home garden are neglected be-
cause the paintings are so small
it is not thought worth while to
fuss with them. Good grapes are
expected as a matter of course
whereas good grapes result from
good care whether the planting be
large or small.
Leafhopper and nlildew are two
common enemies of grapes. If
grape leaves turn a light green
lsh-yellow, if the vines seem to
lack vigor you can suspect the
presence of le%afhoppers.
Although small. this insect is
exceptionally active. One, great

from the foliage, and not by eat
ing the leaf itself. Best control is
to spray or dust with nicotine. Il
Bordeaux mixture is used for
ether diseases, add nicotine sui
fate to it to get the leafhoppers.
The spray should be applied
about the time the newly forming
grapes begin to touch one another.
If you have been puzzled by a
mildew upon the stems and leaves
of your grapes, the vines prob
ably are infected with ''downy
mildew," a serious fungus disease
Of grapes. This disease causes to-
tai or partial destruction OF grape
foliage, and stunning of new foil
age, as illustrated.
If your grapes are affected
with mildew, be prepared to spray
them next spring with Bordeaux
mixture. Several applications will
control mildew, as well as other
foliage diseases, provided spray
ing is begun before the blossoms
