Jonesboro F. F. A. To Launch
Standard Mailboxes Drive
Something new is springing up
in Clayton County’s Rural and
Cities roads these days as
F.F.A. members at Jonesboro
work briskly to erect new uni
form mailbox stands in a co
operative drill to beautify our
county roads and streets.
Georgia’s 17,425 F.F.F. mem
bers are working with the Geor
gia Rural Letter Carriers Asso
ciation in a concentrated effort
to remove the old leaning and
delapidated mailbox posts and
erect unifcrmly neat constructed
concrete and steel posts.
The co-operative effort was
launched at the invitation of
rural letter carriers who were
impressed with the uniform and
attractiveness of the post. Build
ing these posts will be one of
the farm shop projects of vo
cational agriculture students.
The people of Clayton County
and all its cities can co-operate
in a move for the standard
inization of boxes through our
county. The plan calls for F.F.A.
members to construct new mail
box posts for their own homes
first and also to encourage citi
zens all over the county to have
one built, maWng the drive a
county project for improve
ments.
The Jonesboro F.F.A. chapter
will co-operate with any organ
ization or individual in the
county for procuring one of
these posts. The members will

Muscadine Grape Varieties
By Charles S. Tucker
County Agent
The Muscadine grape is a
variety of fruit that can be
grown on small plots of land and
is very practical, if right cul
tural methods are followed.
These grapes will grow on prac
tically all soil types from sandy
loams to heavy clays. The soil
must be well drained and the
fertility maintained for satisfac
tory production. Grapes may be
planted during the dormant sea
son from November to March.
In planning a home vineyard,
use varieties adapted for our
area, use the dark-colored Hunt.
Dulcet and Creek and the bronze
colored Scuppemong, Topsail,
and Yuga. For every eight to
twelve vines of these producing
(female) varieties, one pollinat
ing vine Is needed to get a good
fruit set. The self-fertile dark
colored Burgow and Tarheel and
the bronze colored Willard and
Wallace have replaced the non
producing male vines as pol
linators. This selection will pro
vide fruit of excellent quality
over a two month period.

Muscadines should be pruned
during the dormant season. This
consists of cutting back the past
season’s growth, leaving two to
four buds. These short stubs re
maining will be from four to six
inches long. The buds on these
stubs will produce a shoot in 1956
on which will be borne the fruit.
The proper time to prune to
avoid “bleeding” of sap from the
cut ends is during the four to
six week period following the
first killing frost in November.
To obtain good fruit, vines
should be fertilized with either
barnyard manure or a Commer
cial fertilizer such as 8-8-8- or
6-8-6. Mature vines should be
fertilized in the spring with 2 to
2«/ 2 pounds of commercial mix
ture per vine. Fertilization of
young vines differs somewhat
from that of mature vines. The
first year an application of % to
>/g pound of fertilizer mixture
per vine should be made in April
and July. The second year a half
to three-fburths pound per vine
during the same months.
