SAINT VINCENT, TUESDAY, 27 APRIL, 1954.--(No. 25).


Officer-ii-Charge of the Station. Lar-
ger and larger quantities of vines will be
available later on as these are multiplied.
 The famous Black Vine is now also
among our collection but will not be
available until next year. It appears
that the re.lson why Black Vine lost its
popularity is due to the fact that the
yield hal dropped. It is suggested that
the reason for this is that the vine,
when planted on poor soil, does not do
as well as other vines on the same soil.
This vine, however, does extremely
well on fertile soil. Since during our
firnt harvesting of the small quantity of
the vine at Camden Park, some of the
individual potatoes weighed as much as
3 lbs. Persons who still have the Black
Vine should therefore plant it on their
best soils.
Cassava Stiecs for Planting.
 A limited quantity of sticks' of two
imported varieties which have been
found under experiment to give better
yields than local cassava will also be
distributed now free of charge. The
material is being multiplied and larger
quantities of planting material will be
available next year.
Corn .eeds for Planting.
 About 500 lbs. of specially selected
corn seed for planting are available for
sale at 8c. per lb., shelled. No particu-
lar claims are made for this seed other
than that the col:s are carefully select-
ed. As a result of this selection on the
Station over the past two years, corn
yields have risen 25%. Further selec-
tion is continuing and will raise this
standard.
 All applications should beaddressed
to the Olficcr-in-Charge, Camden Park
Experiment Station.
