Fertilizer for Vineyard 
I have a 10-acre vineyard on gravel 
soil, and would appreciate your advice 
or opinion as to fertilizing it. Last year 
I used a mixture of 2-8-5, 500 lbs. per 
acre, I thought it gave quite good re¬ 
sults. but would like to try a new brand. 
1 Yz ton ac-id phosphate, iy 2 ton nitrate 
of soda, 1 ton bonemeal, mixing it myself, 
making 800 lbs. per acre of this. I 
thought it would give them a better wood 
growth and enlarge the fruit. Vines 
are set 6xS. I put up from two to four 
canes per hill, whatever I think vine 
will stand. Last year it gave better 
than 3% tons of grapes per acre. 
North Girard, Pa. g. l. j. 
The quantity of nitrogen carried in 
the mixture of iy 2 tons of nitrate of 
soda and one ton of bonemeal is ampie 
for the 10 acres; however, the amount 
of phosphorus carried in 1 y 2 tons of 
acid phosphate and one ton of bonemeal 
ie considerably in excess of the amount 
usually recomended per acre. It is sug¬ 
gested that the acid phosphate be reduced 
to one ton for this mixture. It is fur¬ 
ther believed that the bonemeal and acid 
phosphate be mixed and broadcast over 
the entire width of the rows before plow¬ 
ing, and that the nitrate of soda be ap¬ 
plied separately when the new shoots are 
out 6 to 8 in. as a surface dressing.

Grape Rot 
What can I do for a grapevine which 
bears heavily every year, but when 
grapes are about half grown, they turn 
dark as though getting ripe, and rot? 
I have been told the vine used to hear 
bushels of lovely grapes. This vine is 
trained on a stone wall. Would trim¬ 
ming help it? When and how should it 
be trimmed? Also would a spray of 
some mixture help it? MRS. h. w. 
Nicholson, Pa. 
It is believed that the fruit of this 
vine is affected with one of the rots of 
the grape. Bordeaux mixture made ac¬ 
cording to the 4-4-50 formula, 4 lbs. of 
copper sulphate, and 4 lbs. of freshly 
hydrated lime in 50 gallons of water, or 
at this rate, will effectively control. It 
probably will be more economical to pur¬ 
chase one of the commercial Bordeaux 
preparations since so little material will 
be required for a single vine. The man¬ 
ufacturer of such usually gives directions 
for various plants. It is essential that 
the first spraying be made when the sec¬ 
ond or third leaf is showing on the new 
shoots. This should be followed by a sec¬ 
ond treatment just previous to blooming, 
while a third should be given shortly 
after the fruit is well set. A fourth and 
fifth treatment may be necessary at in¬ 
tervals of two or three weeks. 
The pruning of this vine should ne 
done annually that desirable fruit may 
result. It is the usual practice to cut 
away all wood older than two years, ex¬ 
cept such that carries the younger 
fruiting wood. In short the well pruned 
vine should consist of a trunk with two 
or more arms arising therefrom, with 
the arms in turn carrying several canes 
of the previous season’s growth. These 
put out shoots from which the fruit is 
derived. The number of fruit eanes re¬ 
tained depend on the vigor of the vine, 
the variety and its location. The strong¬ 
er the vine, as shown by the cane growth 
of the previous season, the greater the 
number of canes that may be retained. 
Some varieties are known as weak in 
vigor, hence such require short pruning.

Geraniums from Seed 
Will you please tell me how to grow 
geraniums from seed? When and where 
should the seeds be sown—in the garden 
or in boxes? What kind of soil is best 
for potted geraniums? Also how long 
will it take those grown from seed to 
bloom? I simply wish to grow them for 
myself and not to sell. B. M. L. 
Canaseraga, N. Y. 
The zonal pelargoniums commonly 
called geraniums are always grown com¬ 
mercially from cuttings, not from seed. 
If seed is tried, it should be started in¬ 
doors, and moved to the open ground in 
May or June. Soil must not be too rich. 
Bloom will depend on the growth made 
by the plants. We should not expect seed¬ 
lings to make a great show the first Sum¬ 
mer.

Chemists promised it— 
farmers proved it! 
Regardless of how carefully you may spray 
your trees or your potato crops, you cannot 
expect to get better than 60% protection 
from the ever increasing army of destruc¬ 
tive worms and bugs. Chemists promised 
relief from this condition, and then agri¬ 
cultural experimental stations gave notice 
that such relief had arrived. 
Now Red Diamond Calcium Caseinate has 
made good on these promises. Farmers are 
enjoying 100% protection because Red Dia¬ 
mond Calcium Caseinate, added to any spray, 
spreads it evenly and thoroughly over the sur¬ 
face of the fruit and leaves and makes it 
stick. There are no uncovered spots to 
be attacked. 
Red Diamond Calcium Caseinate is a 
better spreader and adhesive—an economy 
you cannot afford to overlook. Send $2 
for a 10-lb. “proof” package, sufficient for 
1200 gallons of spray.
