MORE GRAPEs.-We are informed by Mr.. Martin,
corner Spring and Green-sts agent otthe Iona Vine
"yard," which is situated on Wagners Island about
two miles above Peeksk that the crop of grapes
this year is good and estimated at eight tuns. The
bearing vines cover about fifteen Of what was,
until within few years, unproductve spot as
any of the other idle acres along the Hudson which
ought to be made productive in the same way, until
we could get fresh grapes-the best and healthest
fruit that grows-without paying considerably more
than we can buy first quality Of imported raisns
Iona Vineyard was planted by John Beverage
of Newburgh, and for the two or three years
il has been in bearing, has been eminently sue
cessfu-be grapes taking the premium at the Fair OF
the American Institute for the Catawba and Isabella
varieties We have no doubt they very fine this
year. but the price asked--l4 10 ls cents pounds
such that none but the rich enjoy them. What
we want is fruit for the pOor-not poor fruit but the
very best grown in such quantities that il would be
sold at such prices that all classes could partake.
Grapes ought to be sold upon every street corner at
three cents pound, and they would be, if our
farmers were not 70 pertinaciously welded to corn
and cabbage or did not doggedly persist in competing
with the prares in trying to raise gram IN
stead of grapes For their special OBLIGATION, we give
them this little problem to solve
If you plant Is acres in corn, and get % bushels
per acre--whch is an average yield on hard, rocky
side-hi-you will have 375 bushels. That at IS cents
bushel, is-hOw much
IT. upon Is acres, you get tuns of grapes, times

lust q trife more than your corn crop Try 1t.
