"A great discovery has been madeon
tho Moiave Desert, says a San Francisco
paper, which seems destined TO revolu-
iionize v~ine-culture in Southern Califor-
mia. 1t has been found that grape cut
tings, inserted In the trunk Of the cacti
on the desert, grow and thrive as Wig
orously IA in cultivated land. This fact
is of great importance TO the people. by
the use of a chisel a man can plant q
large vineyard in o day, and the vines
so plarted will climb tho cactus and
grow luxuriantly without cultivation or
Irrigation. The dry, hot sands Of the
desert will afford a fine place for drying
raisins. In addition TO grapes it has
been proved that melons, cucumbers
and tomatoes will grow from the cactus
stock.
