If there is room, grapes may
be trained on wires fastened to a
couple of posts. .They may be
grown flat against the house, or
each vine on a post of its own,
or they, may be grown on a trellis.
Correct fertilization of the soil
it almost as important as correct
pruning. Nitrogen should be avoid
ed. Therefore, fertilizers from the
cow barns are not so good. These,
or any other nitrogen fertilizer,
tend to produce a heavy foliage
growth and little or no fruit. Pot
ash and phosphate -should be used
instead. Bonemeal Is a good fer
tilizer for grapes. If you spade
your grapes in the spring, work
plenty of bonemeal into the soil.

In the currants, branches which
are two or three years old, give
the largest and most fruit. Older
branches very : rarely produce
much. As soon as planted, cut the
bush back to five or six buds
and leave, only! one branch. The
second year, choose six branches,
if the bush is strong, and remove
the others. The third year; do not
prune ' other than to properly
shape the bush. When the bush
es are bearing well, prune out all
wood that is over three years old.
Dead wood, very long branches,
or any branches which touch the
soil should be removed. Sun and

growers use different methods of
spraying. One growers uses the
regular Massey sulphur dust mix
ture: nine parts dusting sulphur
to one of arsenate of lead, dusting
the bush very thoroughly, partic
ularly at the base, before growth
starts, repeating again every ten
days after the leaves have come
out until the fruit is set. Then
this grower switches to hellebore
powder as an insecticide which is
not poisonous to man, while the
fruit is developing and maturing.
Another grower uses a lime sul
phur clean-up spray in the win
ter. Then soon after the fruit sets,
he sprays with lime-sulphur, 1 to
40, with 1H pounds of lead arsen
ate powder in 50 gallons of water.

.We have just completed some

our findings are noteworthy.' Our

are warned that the data has not

be officially approved. 1 i -
We; began'; by - stationing our
tabulating specialists all over th

averitge housewife made. To find

equipped her with a pedometer.
We .want to emphasize our rec

youngster had to be washed,
dressed, fed and got off to school.
Meanwhile, her husband banged
around "and somehow disappeared.
She never seemed to notice pre
cisely when he left fori work.
With the youngsters away, she
giggled at Dagwood over two cups
of coffee and searched the society
section to find put who had done
or was doing what, and where.
Filially she went to the basement
and sang "Pistol Packin Mama"
to her washer, expending- 2400
calories and using enough water
to float an excursion steamer.
Her family was a thoroughly
dirty one. j
f With the wash an i the Una,
she began cleaning ap the kitch
en, wishing It could' be done :
with a shovel. It took her till
noon to pat things in order. She
then took the whole house,
room by room, straightening
here, dusting there, rearranging
and patting - things back where
they belonged. - j
At 2 pjn. she listened to a radio
skit while eating two crackers
and an ounce of anemic cheese.
after which she weighed herself.
Finding that she was a pound and
five ounces overweight, she took
ten minutes of fast calisthenics.
Completely out of breath, she
then stood panting before a mir
ror and surveyed her girlish fig
ure, particularly at the hip line.
At 4 pjn." she felt and looked
like a coal heaver, so she set
about mending her appearance.
This was a major project. Involv
ing considerable splashing, a pow
der storm and a 30-mihute wres
tling match with her hair. All this
because tradition had taught her
the value of looking her sweetest
when her husband got! home
And on the question of values
hangs the purpose of our research.
Remember, supper, the supper
dishes, getting the youngsters to
bed, preparing papa's bath and
future by replacing poor
dentures.
