MAY PRUNE THE SOJPPERNONG Careful Study of Domestic Plants Will Produce Results. A fundamental principle which holds true with most of our hor ticultural IcropsSis'that’lanySTfruit which is consumed almost entire ly by the producer never reaches a high stagerof'ldevelopment. Thus far this has been true of the scuppernong, and other mus cadine grapes. for a long time this’speciesofjgrapes, nativeito the South, Ewas! r given no particular study, and it was generally Supposed Z the vines could'not|be pruned for the'reas on that they wouldjbleed severely if cut in thellate winterlorJlearly spring. During'the pastHenforltwelve years, careful studies of these grapes, at the Georgia Experi ment StationJhaveJ shown that they can be pruned if , the prun ing is theffall'of the year about the time'of'the first light frost. If the vines are pruned much earlier than this, they are liable to be injured from “sun scald" due to the unnatural de foliation before cold weather. If the pruningftsjdelayedjuntil mid winter'or early spring the vines will be excessive bleed ing as soon'as the weather be gins to turn warm. This is es pecially evident!where it becomes necessary to cut large canes. For best results the vines should be planted in rows from 10 to 12 feet a part and set 20 feet apart m*! the £ row. They should on trellises sim ilarly to the way the common bunch grape is trained,Jand prun ed regularlytso'that the cutting of large vines will seldom be nec essary. The renewal. system is not so applicable to the scupper nong as to the Concord grape. H. P. Stuckey, Director. * Rev. L. M. Jessop. Rev. Luther M. Jessup, a prominent Missionary Baptist minister, died at his home near Manasas last Wednesdy night, Feb. 23, and was buried at Stuck ey, in Wheeler county Friday, Feb. 24. The funeral services were conducted by Revs. 0. O. Williams ofiVidalia, J. C. Brew ton, D. D., of Mt. Vernon, and J. D. Rabun, ofJiGlennville, the three ministers who laid hands on him in ordination to the min istry ten years ago. Mr. Jessup wa3 about 45 years of age. He leaves a wife, Mrs % Minnie Jones Jessup, and a son, Marion Jessup. Besides serving Soperton, U valda and Rentz Baptist church es as pastor, he served many country churches in Laurens, Wheeler, Montgomery, Toombs and Tatnall counties. For the short time hejwas permitted to see active service as a minister he was .considered one of the strongest of the denomination in this territory. He was a veteran of the Span ish American War, seeing service in Cuba and in the Phillipines, being twice wounded. Being proficient in the Spanish language he was official interpreter for his government while in the Philip pines. He was in the service seven years, two years of which he was one of the government’s English teachers in the Hawaiin Islands. During the World War he received an appointment to a secretaryship in the,Y. M. C. A., but on account of his health he was honorably discharged after two or three months service. During his service for the gov ernment he lost his health, and at times for the past several years he has been a great suffer er. For the last two or more years he has been an invalid, spending the time in first one and then another of the govern ment’s hospitals.—Tattnall Jour nal. Post Your Lands.
