This is as certain as that two and two make four. Marketing, then, should keep pace with produc tion if agriculture is to succeed in this or any other State. Heretofore too much stress has been given pro duction and too little to marketing. The two must go hand in hand if farming is to be made a profitable occupation. It is quite possible for production to be successful through individual initiative. Successful mar keting must be done through group action which calls for organization ability on the part of producers, eith er along commodity lines or through general neighborhood organizations. The division of Markets of the State T" A ..... A t k t. department oi Agriculture is pre pared to assist the North Carolina farmers in the working out of such organizations for the marketing of livestock and poultry; fruits and Veg etables; other general crops such as soybeans, cowpeas, etc; in the or ganization of cooperative banking in stitutions for the promotion of thrift and the establishment of neighboi i i - . . nooa credit; m the organization of cooperative purchasing associations so as to enable them to secure better prices on their fertilizers and other supplies; and through inspection and instruction in grading and packing enable them to establish grades and prands which will add greatly to the market value of their products. Standardization of Farm Products Grows Steadily In Importance Standardization of farm products is rapidly attaining national and international importance. Federal gad(s are now available for 30 kinds of fruit and vegetables, one or moro of which grades have been adopted by 2T States for use in in- A I 11 i tra suite as wen as interstate com mei ce. The standardization program of; the Federal Bureau of Agricultural Economics was started in 1915 with: the establishment of a telegraphic' market news service1 conveying most Now is the time to prune Musca- dine grape vines, including such va-1 rieties as Scuppernong.

The amount ' and style of pruning should be varied : to fit the individual vine according to the method of training, previous ' care, vigor, and the age of the v!ine. (Muscadines, because they ! bear their fruit in small clusters, re quire a larger amount of fruiting , surface than bunch grapes in order ; to secure the proper yield. Most of i the fruit is borne on cares of the cur rent season, which in turn arise i from growth of the previous year. Too severe pruning usually removes , most of the fruit-bearing wood, ren ; ducing yield, and causing vigorous sooci growtn. .o pruning causes .r. because I love the flowers, Not for all the usual reasons that you read of in a "pome" ' There's another splendid reason why1: it's large enough a home. : I Only fifty feet of frontage, but the fifty feet will pass When reminded by the Missus that it's time to cut the grass.

These vines should not be permitted to become so dense, but should be pruned systematically and freely every fall. The procedure is to cut out all dead wood first, then to thin out , some of the overlapping branches and i next to shorten back some of the canes. Each vine will require more or less individual treatment so that no definite rule can be applied for all. CommcTn sense should be the guide, with the idea of opening up the vine to light and air so that a "ximum amount of thp snrf-.-. u.mi produce fruit. The part of the vine that bears the fruiting canes con sists of arms or branches bearing short spurs. Long canes with few or no spurs should be avoided. Spurs should be cut back to three or four buds. The overhead arbor is not recom mended for commercial plantings since the vines should be trained on a vertical trellis with a definite sys tem of training.
