Messrs. Rsle 4 sRieks, Editors Chronicle:
Grsrs: WIN nv You lin inform 'nn me whether grape.
are successful and profitable crop with you: y
theN vines continue healthy and ,arel long tived'
and what kinds seem to succeed best among thf
mountains ?N0At "NN 0N SSSstNNtoAO
\, Hoping my inquiries will be Of general az
well as personal Interest, remain, gentlemen,
r'"HT NN NssA Yours sralynRR y Ro,;,TTsoS ;,TM,S
NV In reply to the above ". have to say
that after some inquiry atnoung practical
men, I'VE believe the cuitivationo Of the
grape would payherev very we'll. Mr. Cunt
,ert, who has bad, perhaps more experience
with the grape than any oncin our county,
says it will do as well here as any where
he knowssofin,the,eo eountry.No He gives y
.as,his opinion that If properly cultitxssstesdI
a vineyard would be profitable. He thinks
the Hghbgraveliy soil OF oar hills just the
kind needed. The vines grow'verysfast
and hardy and live as long here as in
Ohio or any where else he dkn6wsdOf. His
judgmentisHthat lieConcofd and Catawba
do, best The Isabella, for some reason,
does not yield 80 well, In Morgan county
.mhere- quite. a -namber -af Gefnaafis- reside,
the grape culture, Is auitea feature of their
york. They have always done well, and
we see nosreason Why msgocd's yield could
not be had in this immediate section. We
know, q gentleman, from Ney York, ,Yho,
alfew Sdaks ago, posig ght . good fp laceD hesr
Knoxville and put out a large number OF
sylnesi 50 faf as We, haYsy been fApleI TO
learn, he has done well and is satisfied.
There are some persons who have tried
raising grapes without success, Tbut we
learn lit Il was because they did not
properly cultivate themsT We do not know
how this. may. be. but the, positive and
better testimony of success by the more
experienced is what we base our judgment
on. Mr.. Johs Done writesrus from Low
ton, Laneashi re r England ssayipg that he
has read of Tennessee as being one bf The
healthiest sections of the New World, and
hetsanxious kqsgyrHDrerabgutT it I'VE
have sent him some numbers Of our Ar
ticles, and hope he win be convinced that
what he reads will prove true. We. have
no doubt bat. that helwill ffnd this as
healthy acountry as any he knows Of d, He
says he had Q friend die in Memphis,
and judges it itsunhealthy, bat concluded
that section Is very inherent from East
Tennessee. Memphis is not In as good a
coantfy asfsuffodnds Knoxpille, not $50
healthful nor SO desirable for farmers.
Mr.. A. r.. Straughan, Waterloo, New
York, says the East Tennessee fever in. his
section lis quite D strong and thatI his
are borrowed and read until
there is nething Left tof them, The draw
back be Rnds are that people read ofyout-
RACES IA the South and keep associated
with the South generally aud don't like to
move into q country where such violence
occurs. But he says the scare is getting
over and our efforts to keep East Tennes1
see disconnected from these odtrages is be-
ginning to tell. He says he and two broth
eFs own o, form near Naterloo nat they
;an sell for sf2O per acre, and they, With
some neighbors, are thinking of coming
here to LOOK about. We think they could
trade toSadvantagel and hope they will
come. His. health he says. demands a
milder climate. We have just the, country
for him. He can be out doors here with
out danger dfexposure nearly altyesf snd
wfll ina our Climate !dst the rehefhe
needs.
