The time has come when busi- ness farming must take the place of old fashioned methods and give land owners a fair and adequate return on | their investments. . The way to most quickly reach money making basis is to adopt a sys- tém of crop production which will supply ecommodities returning the max- imum of profit at a minimum of labor | and risk. These articles we see in the common fruit and vegetables. There is an attractive opportunity in the cul- tivation of grapes and berries. These products pay enormously, and when the small investment and simplicity of cultivation are taken into account ‘the wonder is that the market is not over- GRAPEVINE WHEN FRUIT IS SETTING. supplied. Grapesare especiallyqpécom- mended, because they allow plenty .of time for marketing. It is easy to propagate most varieties of grapes. The ordinary way is from cuttings. These are made from mature wood of the last year’s growth, cut from the vines almost any time when there are no leaves on them, or from November to April. The wood should be of strong growth. The cuttings should be about eight to ten inches long and with a bud near each end. They are best buried in the ground after being tied in small bundles and left until the time for making early garden, when they should be set in nursery rows in good soil. They can be set by a spade or set in a trench made with a plow and filled in with a hoe, leaving one bud above ground. Good cultivation should be given. Va- rieties that will not root from cuttings are layered, which is done by covering a part of a living vine with soil and leaving it so during the growing season. It is a mistaken notion that their cul- ture requires special skill and knowl- edge. They do best in warm. well drained and fairly fertile soil, yet there are few farms where they may not be grown successfully. A southern expo- sure will usually give satisfaction. The roots should not be deeply imbedded in the soil, as they ramble to a great dis- tance in search of plant food. If the soil is hard and compact it will be dif- ficult for the roots to find a proper food supply to produce satisfactory crops: Among the. cheapest and best fertiliz- ers for the vines are unleached wood ashes and well decomposed manure. Leaves, soapsuds and lawn rakings are also beneficial to growing vines. To save time and trouble we may ob- tain the vines we want from a reliable nearby nurseryman who knows which varieties are best suited to our locality. If the farmer grows his own vines from cuttings the first step in transplanting will be to dig them from the nursery, using great care so that the roots will not be mutilated. Grape roots are sen- sitive to the sun and wind and should be protected until placed in the ground. The proper width of the rows for field culture is seven or eight feet. Strong growing varieties, however, such as Concord or Niagara, will re- quire a little more’'space, but more fee- ble growers, such as the Delaware, may do well on less space. During the first year a well cul- tivated and trained vine should be about five or ten feet long and ‘may be supported on any temporary structure. In the fall it should be cut back to within two feet of the ground and from then on it should be pruned an- nually, preferably in early spring when the wood is not frozen and before the sap begins to flow. T The principal diseases affecting the grape are black rot, mildew and an- thracnose and the best treatment for these ailments is bordeaux mixture. Clean the vines and surroundings and burn sall eclippings, ete., apon which germs of disease may be living. Be- fore the disease is checked it may be necessary to spray five or six times during the spring. Raise Plenty of Beans. There is no reason why nearly all farmers shouid not grow an abundance of beans for their own use. They are ‘wholesome and nourishing and are sat- factory substitutes for meats whea e latter are difficult to obtain. 1 loss was §50 or more.
