WINE CULTURE IN OHIo.-Mr. r. Buchanan, OF Cincin-
natl who has been identified with grape culture since it
first attempted in Ohio for making purposes,
says there about 1000 laid out in vine
yards in Ohio, Of which about halfare in the immediate
vicinity of Cincinnati. The yield last year is estimated
at $50 gallons per acre for the whole State, which is
much above the usual average From careful estimate
of the vnages for the last twelve years the average
yield of the Ohio Valley is 300 gallons per acre; on well
cultivated vineyards in favorable POSITIONS 300 gallons,
which is about the average product in France and Ger
many. In Missouri and Illinois the yield did not exceed
200 per acre, owing to the prevalence of rot and in
Tennessee Georgia and South Carolina it was very much
reduced by destructive frost in April.
