The purpose of this Article Is to
r've a general Tlew of grape cul
t ire " for the small grower swho
wishes to have a few grapes 'for
l 'i owa use, and those - cultural
r. :ti?d3 which apply to commer
t' il vineyards are omitted in this
eiicussion. A number of varieties
out in the permanent location,
which can be " any. good, well
drained soil.' : s :
The Planting; Distance ;
The planting distance depends
upon the vigor of the plant, soil
conditions, and the kind of prun
ing. The strong growing varieties
can be et 10x10 feet, although a
well la the valley, and the kind planting , distance which gives 8
of' grapes grown can be governed
ty personal requirements.-Among
the good varieties are Campbell's
l:cly, . .Eariy . Moore. , Concord,
Cw?t .Water. Niagara, , ..Yerdun,
Delaware and Agawam.
How .to Start
' Grapes are started by cuttings,
layering, grafting, and from seeds.
, tut for our purpose only the first
needs to- be considered it being
sn easy and, ready means of get
tip 5 the young plants. The- cut
tl 3 should be made soon after
lbs vines,' become dormant in the
la'.l. ' These should be from 8-to
ID I-cies -long and made from
j-ong, " well matured wood. On
tig lower or butt end make a
jlarting cut close , to the.bud.aiid
cn, the - upper or top end leave
&1 out an inch of wood above the
Lul. -Tliere are - two ' ways in
wllchjthe. cuttings can be ; hand-1:1,-
one being, to. put them out
wlere the permanent vines are to
to. .-The better way is to tie the
c Lt tings into small bundles with
t-a butt ends together and place
tr -a in soil with the; butt ends
v 3, and cover - them ' over with 3
to 6 ischea of dirt,: Handled in
tl '3 way the buttends, from
wlich' the roots will be produced,
fora a callous, while the top por
tion "is kept In a dormant condi
tion Then when the cuttings are
i zt out In the spring, the calloused
end ,13 ready to produce strong
roots at once and before the buds
develop sufficiently to take up the
t ip and riant food stored in the
tutting.' In the spring put the
cyttincs in a nursery row or in
tlia garden la good soil and where
tliey C33. te kept well cultivated
f -id hoel dariss the summer. - The
iDl'awi-3 r rrins they tioall be set
feet between rows and 10. feet be
tween the plants In the row will
be found satisfactory. This will
give the necessary growing space
for the roots and good circulation
of air for the vines. , After plant
ing, keep well cultivated so as to
produce as strong and vigorous a
plant as possible the first year. .
Pruning: and Training ,
Pruning and training , is proba
bly the most difficult part for. the
amateurs in the care of the grape.
This first year no support or prun
ing is ; necessary, . ' although- ithe
young canes may be tied to a stake
to get them out of the way for cul
tivating. The following winter the
vines should be pruned and staked.
using stakes 5 or f feet long. The
amount 01 pruning done will de
pend upon , the growth. If small
growth has been made, remove all
but the strongest cane and cut this
back to two eyes.; If one. strong
well ripened cane, has been pro
duced, cut this back to the height
at which the head is to be formed
(about 64 inches) . and tie secure
ly to the stake, removingithe other
canes. In the first case mention
ed, both "buds should "be allowed
to develop, so that the plant will
not be set back by the accidental
removal of one. All ' growth
starting from adventitious buds
should be removed so as to con
centrate all the growth activities
into the two canes, one of which
is to become the trunk of the vine
the succeeding year. By the third
year he vines should have erect
straight stems, with two or more
canes for the head and from
which the Tine "can Jbe renewed
each year. r --';rv: i

there ; are several different sys
tems, some of which" are more or
less complicated and require a lot
of trellis, - and some- that require
much time .for cutting and tying.
Whatever system is employed, it is
important to keep in mind that
the fruiting branches are always
produced on last season's growth,
that is. one year old -canes. The
condition and also the vigor of
the plant should be taken into
consideration .when pruning. One
system often used In commercial
vineyards and well adapted for the
small home ' planting is , what is
known as the four cane Knif fen
system. With this a trellis of two
Wires is used, the bottom wire
about 30 inches above the ground
and the top wire about 54 inches.
The cane to form the main trunk
of the vine is carried up t the
top wire and two canes are train
ed along each wire, making four
canes ;f or each vine. Each year's
pruning consists in cutting away
all the tops ercept the four most
vigorous canes produced the pre
ceding season, and results in the
removal of practically 30 per cent
of the 1-yar-old wood. ; With well
established vines these are short
ened back so as to allow about 10
buds . to each of the upper canes
and 5 buds for the two lower ones,
for vigorous growing kinds like
the Concord; while less vigorous
growing t varieties, like the Dela
ware, should be pruned so as to
leave a smaller number of buds.
Other canes coming out near the
main trunk can be cut back to
two buds, that is, spurs, for the
J purpose of getting new canes for
the next season's iruuing wooa.
The canes left should be carried
along the. wires and secured to
them by tying with string, precau
tion being taken not to tie too
tightly so as to check the flow of
sap, " as the cane enlarges with
growth. The advantage of . this
system is that it requires only a
limited amount of time, and the
pruning and training are easily
and quickly done. - 1 -
' In this valley the vines can be
pruned any time after the dormant
season, which would be about the
first of December. Where possible
the pruning should not be done
later than the middle of the fol
lowing March. After about that
time the so-called "bleeding" of
the vines occurs at all cut sur
faces; and while this is not Beri
ou8, it is not a good plan to prune
when the sap runs from the cuts.
However,, if ..the vines have not
been pruned until that "time or
even until the buds have started,
it is better to do it then than not
at all. '
Ripen Best in Shade
The removal of foliage from the
growing vines is not to be recom
mended. Grapes ripen best where
the fruit is In the shade. Besides,
the leaves are needed by the vines
the better to carry on the growth
processes necessary for the ma
turing and ripening of the fruit.
A thing-that can be practiced to
good advantage, however, is
thinning of the fruit, for with any
system of pruning and training,
a Tine often produces more fruit
than it can mature properly, in
which case the poorest bunches
can be removed as soon as the ber
ries ae well formed, resulting in
a decided improvement in the re
maining fruit especially as to size
and appearance of the remaining
bunches. - - v ' -
; . ' About Jtrtillzing , ; ;
1 s Grapes do not "' require much
manure. " A good rule to follow in
this respect is never to apply man
ure as long as the vines are mak
ing a satisfactory growth, pro
vided that other factory affecting
are normal. .A growth that : is
firm, well .matured and moderate
in1 quantity is more -satisfactory
than, long, rapid growth. When
fertilizers are needed use -those
with small amount , of organic
matter, such as wood ashes, . or
commercial 'fertilizer "containing
superphosphate and potash. . In
the case of sandy or gravelly soils,
a liberal application of stable ma
nure' can be made - with satisfac
tory results. . ' :!

THE HOP O'JTLOOEt
is ran
There Is a World Shortage,
According to the 0AC
Authorities .
(Following is a. current bulletin
of the department of industrial
journalism of the Oregon AgricuK
turai ollae. the authority for the
statement being Prof O. R. Hy
slop. agronomist of the experiment
statioorj - r
: Prospeets seem very good for
the Oregon hop crop. Acreage is
good 'and - the conditions to date
are satisfactory. The following
quotation from the United States
department of agriculture reports
should lend considerable encour
agement to growers of hops;1 U
: Vindications thus far received
point toward a greater foreign de
mand , for. American hops - during
the present and the coming season.
Sales of American hops abroad in
February exceeded those of Janu
ary, by 14 7.15 9 having amounted
to ! 1,851,000 pounds. Exports
during the e'ght months of the
present fiscal yearr July 1 to Feb.
29- already total 11 million
pounds as compared with only 6
million pounds in the correspond
ing period last season. Belgium,
Germany, Canada and the United
Kingdom-were particularly heavy
.purchasers-. -.-.. ..,
"Moreover the state of the mar
ket during the coming season may
be Judged, from the fact that the
world's production in 1924 as far
as can Je ascertained at the pres
ent time will not exceed 70 mil
lion pounds as compared with 109
million pounds In 1923. The Ger
man crop will amount to only 7
million pounds as compared with
13 million last year, while the crop
in Czechoslovakia has been placed
at only 6 million pounds against
12 million the year before. There
is also some decrease In the Brit
ish crop. Consular officers in Ger
manySwitzerland and Ireland
have already reported possibilities
of Increased sales In those mar
kets." Hops Need Fertilizers
One of the principal limiting
factors in western Oregon In re
ducing the yield of hops Is lack of
sufficient moisture to carry the
crop to maturity.
The handling of the hop yard to
conserve moisture is of vital im
portance. The early preparation
of the yard to conserve moisture
and the maintaining of the yard in
a mellow weed-free condition has
much to do with the securing of a
good crop of hops in the. fall.
. ' ; Various fertilizers have been
used In connection with the pro
duction of hops and it appears that
they are most likely to give good
results in those years when there
is plenty of summer rainfall or
where Irrigation can be practiced.
In a great many of the yards,
where the moisture supply runs
out early in the season there is not
much opportnuity for the hop
plants to make use of the addition
al plant food that is supplied in
the form of commercial fertiliz
ers. The culture of hops la particu
larly hard on the organic matter
content of the soil for the reason
that the land Is kept thoroughly
cultivated usually during the sum
mer months and then practically
the entire growth of the plant is
removed from the field .and no or
ganic matter finds Its way back in
to the field.
: The growth of cover crops on
this kind of land is sometimes a
little difficult as the hop harvest
is usually late end the yard must
be plowed fairly early In the
spring. '
1 it Is the belief of the writer that
the ..growing of some winter cover
crop like purple, common or wool
ly-podded or hairy vetch with oats
or rye on the more mellow soli
types or common vetch or Hungar
ian vetch with oats or rye on the
heavier soil type will give enough
material to plow under, that in the
course of a few years the moisture
holding capacity and the condition
of the soil would be very: greatly
Improved. For the permanent yard
the matter of keeping up the or
ganic content of the soil Is Very
important." . ;
A good even stand of plants
must constantly be maintained. :

- It would pay the business in

ganize and work night and day and
make it one of the most out

HEAD LETTUCE INDUSTRY
BEING DEVELOPED HERE
. (Continued from page 8)
has developed a strain and tried
out methods that will make cer
tain the production of "fine, large,
solid heads. Aye, there's the rub
solid heads. There is no ques
tion concerning the rank growth
of! the lettuce on that land, rich
almost beyond description, and
kept rich by scientific and, lavish
fertilization; costly fertilization
not aplied every once In a while,
but every year. If the growers can
be assured of their ability to get
the lettuce to head,' and to make
compact, solid heads, they will be
certain of a great future for the
industry. This year may almost
if not entirely decide" this matter.
If the 20 car loads now making
rapid and rank growth shall turn
out the kind of heads the public
wants and wlU be glad to pay for,
another big Industry on the land
will have been definitely launched.
And by the same sign, the Salem
district will have led the way, as
it has led the way in so many other
similar cases.'
-Experimenting In Asparagus
The Slogan pages. of last week
were devoted to the asparagus in
dustry, and a number of new
growers were mentioned, and . It
was divulged . that there is a boom
on in the Salem district, in aspara
gus" growing; so much of a boOm
that there are already definite
lines out looking to the-canning
of, the surplus, when, there shall
come to be a surplus over the mar
ket and possible widening market
demands.
Well, Mr. Fukuda and his assoc
iates. havo'aLso'been experimenting
with asparagus. They have grown
some very , good samples on 'the
hoavof Ham land. As this vegeta
ble needs warm land, they think
. - . . ..
that perhaps tney nave
chance to make it a big industry
on sandy loam. Anywayr they are
trying It out this way. (In fact,
they re willing to 'try anything
once, 6r perhaps more than once,
if they feel that they as much as a
gambling chance for success.) If
their experiments in asparagus
growing prove .what Mr. Fukuda
Is looking for, there will be .no
question concerning the flnal com
ing of asparagus canneries And
it may transpire that the Salem
district will become a very strong
rival of the ! great California as
paragus districts, especially those
on the delta lands in the Sacra
mento valley. : 'V

There are many nationalities
represented among the growers of
