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.

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

ton, D. D., of Mt. Vernon, and
J. D. Rabun, ofJiGlennville, the
three ministers who laid hands
on him in ordination to the min

of age. He leaves a wife, Mrs %
Minnie Jones Jessup, and a son,
Marion Jessup.

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

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
