GRAPEVINES
Grapes vinos must bo pruned bo
fore the middle of February for
best results according to those In
cfcargo of tho Agriculture Department
at the West Texas State
Teachers College Grapes bear
only on present seasons growth
thereforo tho moro of tho vine
which Is removed In tho winter
the greater will be tho yield of
grapes In most vineyards only
wo long limbs five to ten feet
In length aro pormltted to grow
These aro trained to cling to
throe wires tho middle wire a
few inches lowoi than the two
outside Wires and tho vinos are
run In opposite directions
If grapes are not pruned most
of the food material will go to
make vines If they aro pruned
late in tho spring much of this
tood material Is lost by bleeding
While it Is advisable to
prune trees in tho fall or dead
of winter most fruit trees can be
pruned up to tho timo they begin
to put out spring buds West
Texas offers many advantages to
people who wish to grow grapes
tho greatest of which is tho number
of days of sunshine Grapes
fungus diseases
are not harmed by
eases to any great extent in sections
with semiarid climates
This is one reason why grapes
are porsistont yieldors In the
western part of Texas

GEORGE WASHINGTON
No monument need we to hold
His memory for hearts enfold
And cherish him and streaming time
But makes his image sublime
Immortal for the love he gave
God placed in childrens hearts to save
No martial air no song no word
Need eer be written eer be heard
No artists brush no poets pen
Need beautify the hearts of men
For in each heart eigns freedom fair
And Washington first placed it there
No slander by word deed or thought
Of mortal man may eer be wrought
With strength to reach so high a place
As ha in hearts of men doth grace
Love faith and beauty travel far
But slander ner besmirched a star
