  • Catawba Island, the Great Peach Growing Center of Ohio from Sketches and Stories of the Lake Erie Islands, by Lydia J
    Catawba Island, the Great Peach Growing Center of Ohio From Sketches and Stories of the Lake Erie Islands, by Lydia J. Ryall, American Publishers, Norwalk, OH, 1913 This reprint Copyright © 2003 by Middle Bass on the Web, Inc. "Why, and wherefore an island?" This question is usually the first formulated and put by the curiosity seeking stranger who approaches Catawba Island by stagecoach from Port Clinton - which, by the way, is the most available, and at certain seasons the only feasible, route thither. A trip to an island by stagecoach, instead of in a boat! The idea appears anomalous as it is novel: something similar to going to sea by rail, and, to discover how the thing is done, grows into a matter of keen interest as the observer progresses. His geography informs him that an island is “a body of land entirely surrounded with water”; and looking ahead - as the driver whips up his team - he vaguely wonders where, and how far along, the water lies, and how they are to get across it. Imagine, then, his complete surprise when, after a jaunt of several miles, the driver informs him that the mainland is already far behind, and that they are now on Catawba Island. Had the stranger turned back a few miles over the route, to a place where the two main thoroughfares, the “sand road,” and “lakeside” road, form a cross, or fork, he might have been shown a narrow ditch with an unpretentious bridge thrown across it. This ditch, terminating at the lake, is all that now serves to make Catawba an island.

  • Growth Regulators Offer Numerous Benefits
    Uc LL The growth regulator ethephon increases color of Cardinal grapes without normal light. First and third clusters from left were treated with ethephon. Two clusters on left had normal light; the other two received no light. The first experiments with gibberellic acid (GA3) on grapes were made in 1957. By the early 196Os, sprays of GA3 had replaced 4-CPA as a means of increasing berry size in Black Corinth. To produce the Zante Currants desired by the bakery trade, GA3 is sprayed from the time of 95 percent capfall until three days later. GA3 is now used on all Thompson Seedless grapes for table use. For several years vines were sprayed at 20 to 40 ppm at the fruit-set stage to increase berry size. However, some clusters were quite compact in spite of cluster and berry thinning to prevent over- cropping. Five years after the first use of GA3 on Thompson Seedless, it was noted that vines sprayed at bloom were properly thinned, Growth regulators mainly because fruit-set was reduced, so that clusters were not too compact. Soon the recommended method was to use two GA3 ap- plications, one at full bloom for thinning and increasing size, and offer numerous benefits the other at fruit-set to further increase size. Girdling is also per- Robert J. Weaver formed at fruit-set, or shortly afterwards, to further increase berry size and make the berries more uniform and more firmly attached Since the 1920s, girdling of Thompson Seedless vines has been to the cap stem.
