Through fermentation. Scott is trying to
unravel the methods by which penicillin is
made
"Our work is not to improve the process
with an eye toward boosting production,
but rather to find out the basic techniques
through which it is formed,'' he notes
Logically then, we could improve or
modify the kinds of penicillin produced if
we knew and could control the mechanism
responsible.

growth. It must be
heavily pruned each -
year During this
pruning, approximately
90 percent of the entire
vine must be removed
yearly if not properly
pruned, a grape will
grow itself out of
production That is, the
vine will be supporting
so much old wood that it
will lose vigor and not
initiate an abundance of
.one-year old fryiting
wood
• Of tourse. if a regular
pruning program is
initiated to maintain
vine vigor, pruning of
vines must be done
annually to remove
adequate amounts of 1-
year-old fruiting canes
in order to produce a
quality grape crop
Otherwise. too many
small grapes will be
produced and the vine
will be weakened
In general, grapes
must be pruned an-
nually to stimulate
production of 1-year-old
wood for next year’s
crop, to decrease the
number of grape buds
for quality production,
and to maintain vine
strength during this
season s growth. For
more assistance with
pruning or other gar-
dening procedures, call
the Denton County
extension office at 566-
