The Vine in Bessarabia.

Although both climate and soil in
Besarabia are highly favorable to most
kinds of cultivation, the inhabitants
have hitherto devoted themselves al
most exclusively to cereal farming of
an extremely primitive type, whereby
the land is becoming ruined and ex-
hausted. A total change of method and
means is the sole remedy for this state
of things in agriculture. 1t is well
known that the vine and all orchard
trees will flourish in the province if
cultivated with moderate care and skill,
but these are sadly lacking. An i'm
provement can only be looked for from
rational development of scientific
methods of cultivation and the intro
duction of a better system of making
wine. These measures are the more
desirable since France, which used to
supply the wine markets of the world,
has been obliged by the ravages of the
phylloxera to diminish her exportat on
at the same time that she produces an
inferior article fabricated from foreign
grapes. The measures most evidently
necessary to enable Bessarabia to enter
into competition in the wine trade are
the introduction of the choicer qualities
OF vine and the construction of storage
vaults. This would require capital,
which is either not existent or very
sluggish in the country. As there is
only superfcies of 10000 acres of
vineyards, which produce from $780,
600 to 10000, 900 vedros of wine. Some
of this is sold at 5 rubles the vedro, but
the ordinary quality is sold throughout
the province at ruble the vedro. For
eign fabricators have already discov-
cred its utility for the purposes, and
large purchases were made last year by
wine merchants who supply the London
market. A vedro equals three and q
quarter gallons. London Times.
