OLD GRAPE VINES CAN
BE BROUGHT BACK TO
PRODUCTION

Many old, neglected grape
vines in Virginia could be brought
back to productivity with fertii-
cation and pruning, say horticul-
turists of VPI.
Remarkable improvement can
be seen the first year, but it may
require two years to complete the
job. Here is their advice:
Remove the tangled growth
from its support, cutting away
unwanted parts, and spread it on
the ground. Such vine usually
contains dead wood which should
be removed. If the vine is reason
ably vigorous, some of its older
branches will be extremely long.
From these branches the fruiting
canes are produced at intervals.
Try to keep the frriting wood as
near to the trunk as possible. Cut
the older branches back moderate
ly the first year to suitable
bearing cane. Leave a renewal
spur nearer the trunk SO more of
the old wood may be removed
the following year. About six
fruiting canes cut back to about
eight buds can be left and the
rest of the vine cut away. Often
the old wood is so large that a
saw is needed to remove it.
1t is sometimes necessary to
renew old vines where the trunk
has become crooked and bent,
and has perhaps deteriorated
from disease. If the root is heal
thy, such renewal can usually be
done by bringing a new shoot
from near the ground. The old
trunk may be removed at once,
or may be left to fruit for one or
two seasons Until the new cane
is ready to take its place.
Train the new shoot up to the
top wire as rapidly as possible in
the same manner as a newly
planted vine. Remove any side
shoots, except those needed for
new arms, when they are not
more than a few inches long.

WATCH FOR MITES ON
FRUIT TREES,
CONTROL EARLY

Inspect your orchard now to
forestall mite injury.
That's the advice of G. w. I'm
derhilI, associate entomologist at
Virginia Experiment Station, who
says orchardmen should not wait
for foliage injury to show before
thinking about the mite problem.
Generally, when leaves begin to
bronze it is too late to spray prof
itably.
The European red mite is now
in the egg stage Cred colored eggs
more or less in clusters) on the
underside of limbs and spurs,
mostly at or near crotches. The
4-spot, or Schonei mite is winter
ing as pink females in clusters un
der loose bark on teh trunk and
large limbs. Anyone can learn to
spot these danger signals. A
pocket l1and-lens is nice to have;
but good eyesight and bright
day are usually enough.
The relative numbers of the
European red mite eggs or q
spot females indicate the period
and degree Of possible danger to
the foliage later. 1t is important
to know whether or not they are
numerous and generally spread
in order to take proper and time
ly control steps.
Large numbers, easy to see, al
most positively assure damage.
Inspecting a few terinal twigs
on two or three side of one tree
out of 6 to 10, zigzagging across
different areas of the orchard, us
ually will be enough to spot the
red mite Examining loose bark In
crotchse of large limbs, in the
same manner, will be enough to
find the 4-spot.
If there are large numbers Of
the pest do something early. If
none, or few, are present perhaps
no action is necessary.
Where there is danger of early
season damage, take one of three
preventive steps: use a dormant
oil spray containing at least
percent actual regular" type dor
mant oil, or 2 percent superior"
oil in 100 gallons; a delayed dor
mant oil spray using the same
materials, or a petal-fall applica-
ton of a phosphate insecticide,
recommended as an alternate in
the Virginia spray bulletin.
Two seasons tests at the Expert
ment Station have indicated that
the-petal spray is a good alterna
tive for dormant oils. The petal
fall spray is the first chance to
go after the 4-spot mite, since
all wintering female mites will
be out on the underside of h e |

Sea Police Reported
Doubled 10 10000
In Eastern Germany
By the Assoeio,ed Press

BERLIN, Oct. 22.-Germany's
Russian zone repeatedly has
doubled its "sea police" force in
recent weeks to man a small fleet
of destroyers and speedboats and
to fly Seaplanes
The nautical arm of the East
German peoples police" more
than a year old. now has been in
creased from a midsummer 10000
man strength to somewhere
around 10000.
Information on the sea police
came from men who have seen
it in action along the north Ger
man coast. They gave this pic
ture of the nautical activities:
SOviets Run Training.
The East zone fleet includes
three destroyers, eight torpedo
boats. "a speedboats and an un-
disclosed number of minelayers
and coast guard vessels.
Soviet naval officers are train
ing the Germans. aided by former
officers in Hitler's navy. Sea-air
schools opened recently on the
Baltic coast for training in sea-
plane flying.
/ The sea police have permanent
bases at the Baltic centers Of Wis
mar, Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf, VOL
CAST, Zinnowitz, Stralsund, War
numuende. Sassnitz and Kueh-
lungsborn-all on the coast of the
state Of Mecklenburg.
The sea police work under the
central police administration is in
East Berlin. It also controls the
infantry trained Bereitschaften
(alert units) and the regular
police.
Uniforms Resemble Nazis'.
Western Allied officials believe
the Soviet zones German police
force with military assignments
totals somewhere between $4,000
and 100000 men. This includes
the sea police.
The East zone Communists un-
veiled their naval units in snappy
blue and white uniforms, much
like the old Nazi navy. at a public
parade in the Soviet sector of
Berlin during the spring of 1850.
Details of the force have never
been divulged by the Eastern gov
ernment.
Allied officers agree that the
Baltic coast requires a certain
amount of policing. But they con-
tend the units raised by the
Soviets and German Communists
amount to the resurrection of a
navy.

Former Holmes Woman
Is Food Contest Winner

Mrs. r. C. Valentine of Halle
hurst, wife of the Rev. r. c..
Valentine, former pastor of First
Presbyterian church, Lexington,
was recently named one of five
winners in The Commercial Ap-
peal food contest conducted in the
Mid-South with economical foo,
preparation on low budgets as
basis of judges decisions.
Mrs. Valentine, who had two
years of home economics in gram
mar school at Visalia, California,
and no other training as a kit
chen economist except in the
school of practical management in
her kitchen, practices "econom.
for necessity" with family OF
five which includes a six-month-
old baby.
She spends $30.32 monthly for
groceries for her family, and in
order to do this follows several
ules-of-thumb: She watches the
Friday advertisements of grocery
stores and meat markets, buying
a weeks supply at one time. She
does little canning except when
friends give them vegetables, the
surplus of which she cans. When
she cooks a hen or roast, she
buys one large enough to last two
or three days and none is thrown
away.
Mrs. Valentine follows a gov
ernment formula for use of foods
having the proper calories and
vitamins. The $30.32 she spends
for her family's food weekly in
cludes the food formula for her
six-month-old baby, which is a
regular part of the grocery bill.
Quoting Mrs. Valentine, whose
methods Holmes women might
do well to copy, I'VE have fish
twice a week and some kind of
meat two or three times each
week. We have no garden because
our back yard is not large en-
ough. :" Mrs. Valentine con-
cIudes that she has found studied
selection of menus results in
a very economical outlay of bud
get funds"
Other winners included from
Laurel, Mrs. William F. Lange,
who "can squeeze a penny until
the Indian on it gives a war
whoop," who in so doing cooks
the favorite rich desserts her fam
lily require but balances these
with the simpler items. Mrs.
Lange informs that "boneless
meats are less COSTLY" and that
she shops not solely for name
brands" as less expensive brands
can sometimes be as appealing at
less cost. She buys frozen chop
ped spinach because it is free OF
grit and is sometimes equal to
two or three fresh punches. She
feeds her family of three children,
seven, five, and three, and her
self and her husband on a month
ly budget of $3l.2l.
The winners were mailed checks
from the Commercial Appeal.
