vineyards in the country. just east of town.
He mas had splendid luck with his vines and
expects to reap profit from them in the near
future. 1t IS an undeniable fact that Kansas is
one of the best states in theUnion for the culture
of the grape and her vineyards ..will.beto her
great source or wealth in a few years. The
uplands OF Saline county are just suited for

this winter.
