| FRUIT.-Years ago, Bayard Taylor,
traversing northern Kansas, remarked.
In its adaptation TO grape culture. this
region seems to me scarcely, If any, in
ferior to California" The result has
fully justified the predictions. No
where east of the Mississippi do grapes

successful thus far. our soil being drift
strongly impregnated with lime and
gypsum, is especially favorable. AT
Baldwin City last August we saw plum
and apricot trees covered with fruit
uninfested by the curculio as yet. The
pawpaw, currant, grape. mulberry and
various other wild fruits, abound.
