Grape Growing.

At n late meeting OF the grape
growers in Pennsylvania, the ques-
ton whether II was desirable or safe
to embark largely in grape growing
was discussed at length by experts.
Mr.. Griffith, of Erie county, said
tho' in 1913, when he began, he had
ST. Isabclas and as many Catawbas.
Now he had $4,000 to 10000 lsa-
bellas and 10000 to 10000 Cataw-
bas, occupying about one hundred
acres. lie planted close; did not be-
lieve in leaving vines TO spread over
n large surface. His system OF
training was nearly the same as that
adopted at Cincinnati, keeping vines
near the ground and thinning the
clusters. Did not want rich soil
for grapevine. Land that would
not bring over 80 bushels of corn to
the acre was the best for all kinds of
grapes but the Delaware. That
might require richer soil, but for
lsabcllas and Catawbas, especially, u
poor, dry soil was most favorable.
BY keeping down the great mass
Of vines and thinning out the clusters
he could make one cluster outweigh
four left to grow as they please. The
grape must be thoroughly cultivated,
but not manured. lie had vine
yard which had been planted four
teen years and never put anything
on it yet, though he did not know
but he might try little lime or
ashes, but no barn yard manure.
There was no danger in overgrow-
ing the grape. The cultivation in
this country wns not yet two per
! cent. of that in France, and not
thrce-iourtbs of one per cent. OF the
cultivation in Germany. lie intend
ed TO plant the whole country in the
section where he lived with grape
vines. lie could buy any mans
? farm with the profits Of one crop Of
, grapes. lie thought Northwestern
! Pennsylvania aud along the south
shore OF lake Erie was the true loca-
tion for grape growing. On his land
!. he had raised three and one-halI
/ tons ofgrapcs to the acre. The STRIP
I ofland favorable to the grape wa
about four To four and one-half mile,
;. wide, all along the shore OF the lake

- in length, and he expected to see i
