PLANT GRAPES
IN NOVEMBER
Niswonger Gives Points
On Varieties And
Culture
The best months lor planting
grapes and muscadine grapes
are November and March, says
1^. R Niswonger. in charge of
extension horticulture at State
college.
He suggests five varieties of
bunch grapes from which to
make selections for the home
garden. The Portland aild Niag-*
ra are white and bear early.
The Deleware is red and early
The Fredonia is black and mid
season The Catawba is red and
late.
The best varieties of musca
dine grapes are the scupper
nong. which is white; Thomas,
reddish blaclf; and the James
and Mish. both black
Mr. Niswonger suggests that
four one-year-old bunch grapes
be planted in theTiSme garden,
set 10 by 10 feet. Plant two
muscadine grape vines about 20
feet apart Practically all va-,
rieties of muscadines are steriJe
and there should be one male
vine with one to eight varieties.
In the first year's pruning,
Mr. Niswonger recommends that
only one shoot be allowed to
grow and develop into a trunk,
taking off all other shoots.
When pruning bufich grapes
in later years, pruning consists
of having two canes of the pre
vious year's growth tied to each
of two wires, one running each
way from the trunk, or four
new canes, bearing eight to 10
buds each. The new canes shuld
be selected from those starting
nearest the trunk. Fruiting canes
of the previous season Is growth
between the selected canes and
the trunk should be cut back to
two buds
The training of the musca
dine grape on the arbor con
sists in developing eight 'arms
radiating to the top of the
trunk on each of the w'-es
crossing the Center post The
unit of pruning is an arm of
one to eight years old. sup
norting several spurs with four
buds each.

club boy of Person county, made
three times as much corn as
his father this year. The only
difference was shallow cultiva
tion and T-20 hybrid seed.

UR DEMOCRACY is founded on man's
ability to walk with his neighbor.
We who have been In the combat areas
realize, perhaps more keenly than others, the
necessity of this faith of man in man. We
realize, too, that one man's selfishness can
destroy that faith in all.
We veterans of the Foreign Wars are not
a "pressure group." We will not put our
selfish interests ahead of yours. We will not
cheapen our battle stars by using them as
counters in the game of politics.
We want only to walk in faith with you
towards a true democracy, where every man
has respect and consideration for another. ~
That is what we fought for.
