A good poit standing out of toe ground not less than seven feet should be set to each vine. These should be, where practicable, of cedar, oak, or Ugh t wood, as the setting of new potts cuts the roots oft the vines. A good cutting will reach almost to the top of the post when set out, or grow to 1 the top In one year, If properly csred for. The best method ia to wire the vinet. When thirls done, rows of posts, well braced, have to be set out around the edge of the vineyard, to which are at tached the larger wires. Down each row a No. 10 galvanized wire is run as a governor wine, and stapled to the top of each post Across tbete governor wires, you stretch at first, one No. 14 wire. If well braced at the ends, this gives all the posts secure bracing. ;- As the vines grow and spread out, you add on each side cf the No. 14 wire, other wires, always keeping good ar bors for the vines to run on. If you let the branches fall down and have to support their own weight, they do not grow so rapidly. The vine should not be allowed to bunch up in knots,: but be kept spread out and growing uni formly in all directions. It takes about 110 vines to set an acre properly laid off. Theie can be bought through us at 5c. each, if you can not get them from a nearby vine. I The land should be cultivated with crops that do noi grow too. high, and the vines keDt free from trash around the roots, which grow close 10 me top ct tae ground. Do not cultivate; un der the branches, the roots extend and draw sustenance as far af the branches run. Hence if you plow close to the vines you tear up the roots. : The best method we know is to keep the roots, all around the body of the vine, and as fas is the branches extend, mulch ed with a heavy coat of wood mold and straw. The home, of the vine ia the piney woods, where, i in the rich virgin soil, it spreads hundreds of feet. The best vines we have ever seen were in old garden plots where they were never plowed, but the weeds kept down.1 A good plan is, perhaps, to have sheep graza under the vines; but the best plan Is to keep in cultivation the land not shaded, and to keep the weeds down on the rest by having a heavy mulch. While fertilizer may proauce unusually heavy vcrops, we - advite using coarse barn manure ia connec tion with heavv coatings of woods- mold and straw, so as to keep the soil light and productive. While the vine will grow and produce on light sandy land that will hardly grow cow peas, yetlt should not be expected to get good crops from poor land. The soil should be fertilized as directed above. Arbors can be made of wood, as are frequently seen, on a small scale, but the expense of wooden arbors on a large scale Is considerable. Galvan ized wire on good posts is cheapest In the long run, and makes much leas work once the vineyard-is well wired It means only a few posts each year, and a little wiring to- take- up -the Urt. and the hauling in of -coarse manure. We do net believe in plow' ing close to the vines. It breaks the mnu and inevitably - damages the vines. ' vi ' :'; . . 1 . , ' As to the gathering, the preferable plan Is to gather by hand, and hi small vineyards this can be done. We pay special prices for selected, hand-gathered grapes. But In a large vineyard th'a is not practicable. Poles are at tached to strong sheets made of canvas, Ah ahmit ten feet sauare. and with leather handles and a man to each side of the sbeet. N ! eMlly carried around between the posts, which are set in even rows. Another matt or boy, wltft forked stick, shakes the vine gently just above the sheet, and the ripe grapes r fall and are caught. Children pick up I vj the few grapes which ran ouisiae me sheet. The vines should not he beaten hard, ss not only tbur do you get green fruit, but damage the vines by break in tho tender new crowth which pro duces the crop next year, or most of it The leaves can be fanned out by a fan mill or picked out by hand; a fan mill is best, and can be moved along as you go over the vines. The vines should be gone over as often as the grapes ripen, as you can not gamer an the grapes at one time without getting green or overripe grapes, either of which lowers the fgrade of grapes. What we desire particularly is) the White Bcuppernog grape. If we are as successful in building up a trade on the Red Bcuppernong as we have been on the white, we shall be willing to pay as much for Mish and James Grapes as lor the White Grapes; and the James Grapes produce a heavier yield, as a rule, and require a heavier character of soil, more stiffness though not too stiff. - Good soil will produce better re sults than poor soil, though any sandy soil in Eastern North Carolina can be made very profitable in Bcuppernong Grapesr. A word as to me prom, amwo niu set 110 vines. At three years old,' with proper care, they should produce from a peck to a half bushel each. At four years old they should produce not less than one to two bushels each. At this time you can still cultivate one-half the land. . At seven years old lyou should be getting from four hundred to eight hundred bushels per acre. Tak ing the lowest estimate, say four hun dred bushels, at 86c per bushel, which we propose to pay for choice grapes, you have an income of $300 per acre, ai a low estimate for each year. Vines live to be over a hundred years old. The old mother vine -is still living on Roanoke Island, and is over three hun dred vears old. and bore fruit last year, though utterly neglected, and its roots are bare. No crop you can grow will give auch sure retur as.: Ten acrei in grapes will insure ny man a steady income after seven years, which beats any lire insurance policy. While it produces some times larger crops than others, It nearer fails utterly. i ; To lanf owners who will set out v rses we propose to give cotracts guiranteeh a market at aregu-and fair scale of pries, for dve V ear, they, to guarantee to sell ut the 'crop each year, we to take all the cup that is gathered and offered properly at the nearest - railroad station, or at our winery. "- : North Oarollna has, in the Eastern part of the State, more than a million acres of land adapted to the growth of this grape. Granting that only one acre in each one hundred was planted, and that the minimum crop of 400 bushels per acre was produced, and that each bushel produced three gal Ions of wine, we have twelve million gallons of the finest wine In the world when properly made. This Is not half as much as California makes. France which is not so very much larger than our state, produces over a billion gal lons of wine. North Carolina COULD, if her people only WOULD, be in this respect, the SOUTHERN FRANCE OF AMERICA, and could make as much wine as France, the greatest wine producing country in the world. We hope to see the work started. If the farmers will make the grapes, we will try to make the wine and sell It. ' -i. - .. - . . .. . There is no published treatise on grape-growing that Is worth a cent as applied to the Bcuppernong. Plant it paoperiy, give it half a chance, and it will make you rich In spite of your selfindependent; at least. It takes a little time. Do not prune it ever; ex cept when necessary to keep it in shape .while young. If cut it bleeds and dies, or does not thrive. Give it ar borage, and nice rich soil protected from the sun and rains by rich loan, or woods mold, and it will crow so fast you forget you planted it five ! years be fore. Don't be deterred by the five years you have the Use of nearly all your land while it Is growing, and once in full bearing, you don't want, at most, over fifty acres to take care of a large family in , comfort In afflu ence. Even if it netted you on ly f 100 per acre, and you had only 25 acres, it beats cotton or tobacco as a money crop. Don't go in too big at first: plant five to ten acres each year; then the posting and wlrlngdon't come all at once and break you, and you begin to get some income by the time the expense of wiring becomes heavy. We advise. If you purpose to have a vine yard of twenty-five acres, to set out rive acres each year. If you want fifty acres, set out ten acres each year. In five yean you will be On easy street; in tea years you will be per fectly independent. To any man who will set out vineyards we will give a contract to lake his entire product. Get near a shipping point, i so you won't have so far to haul your grapes. They are heavy and .mutt ba shipped promptly after being gathered.
