Prune Grape Vines
Before Buds Swell
By the Assoeiossd Press
RLACKRuRG.

Grape vines should be pruned
annually, and from id-February
until the buds swell is the best
time.
H. Bruce Aroian, associate
horticulturist, says vines must be
pruned annually to reduce the
wood and limit foliage. keep the
vine off the ground, expose the
fruit to light and air, and al
low for more thorough spraying.
Grapes are borne on shoots
developing from buds on one
year wood or canes. he explains.
Pruning is necessary to train
the trunk and arms so that a
remaining small amount of old
wood supports the desirable new
wood.
The amount of pruning must
be adjusted to the vigor of the
vine, and fewer canes and buds
are left on young or weak vines.

Life in the Country
Believe 1t or Not, The Forty Acres
Is Producing (Weedy) Literature

II you should happen to be
thumbing through the new Lou
doun County Farm Directory
recently published by the county
Junior Chamber of Commerce
you may notice the following
listings:
FORTY ACRES, THE, If

ager. 40 acres. Literary farm.
Starting from Leesburg, go
east 612 miles on Route Z.
Driveway on right. Mailing
address, RID 3 Ashburn.
Broad Run Mag. District.
AS you will see, our 40 acres
is right there with all of the
other farms in the county. But
instead of producing such things
as cattle. hogs. chickens or milk,
We produce literature. 1t says
so right there in the book.
The only catch to the. listing
is that there is no indication OF
our farms productivity. Any
one passing along Route 7 can
see what type of Vegetation we
have. They can see the weeds
and the pines. and thus can tell
something of our soil.
But the quality of literature
that we grow isn't evident from
the road. You will have to search
further. and I am afraid that a
more thorough investigation
would prove that the literature
is about on a par with the vege-
tation-that is, weedy and full
of pines.
Anyway, we like our listing. 1t
makes us feel sort of important.
We notice, too, that Alfred

It's going to be a big year for

Economy One Advantage
Tent camping, park officials
explain, is proving popular be-
cause it is an economical and
satisfying way of spreading the
vacation dollar. It offers the ad-
vantages of mobility, permitting
the vacationer to move from one
location to another with a min
imum of inconvenience; and it
is economical, since once the
basic necessities are acquired
they will last for years with very
little else needed except food and

Too Much Protection

1t is this sort of weather

much injury to plants in too

such weather freaks. 1t is the
main reason why we should

To Lime or Not to Lime

If your garden or lawn needs
lime this is the season 10 spread
it. However, it should not be
applied until the soil is tested to
see if it does need lime. Occa-
sionally, weeds and other indi-
Gators show whether or not lime
is needed, but most gardeners
might better send a sample to
one of the soil labs. The Uni
versity of Maryland will test for
residents of Maryland. Virgin
ians can have tests made at
Blacksburg, If the county agri-
cultural agent at Fairfax is un-
able to do it for them. District
residents must depend upon pri-
vate soil labs.

the State usually are open from
about mid-May to mid-Septem-
ber, though a few in the trout
country will open with the trout
season in April and some will
continue open through the hunt
ing season next autumn.
West Virginia has more than
a score of State parks and for
ests, although not all of them
are open to tent camping.
State parks, in addition, offer
facilities for swimming. boating,

veloped areas, most of them To-
Gated in State parks, also have
vacation cabins for rent.
"Visitors to the Monongahela
National Forest may spread their
lunch or pitch their tent nearly
anywhere on forest land, but be-
fore doing so they should con-
slider the places that have been
specially selected and improved
for their convenience" explains
Mr.. Oliver. Permits are required
for campfires, except at devel-
oped recreational areas.
