ABOUT THE HOTELS.

The corridors of hotels are among
the best Of places for studying human
nature, ard it is well worth spending
an hour IN leisurely studying the va
rious types frequenting them. all
kinds and conditions Of men can be
found in the corridors, and the veteran
lounger can size them up and tell
their occupations almost to GER
tainty without saying word. There
is something about the drummer, for
instance, which always gives him
away. Hc,owns the house, wants the
best of everything, and bis voice is
louder. ditto his iewelry, than that of
the man OF millions who has come
to the great Southwest to invest. To
the youth from the country the drum
mer is the millionaire and the million
aire may be the drummer. But the
all powerful parsonage who shoyes
the register around and calls front"
knows thein both, and no one can
size them up better than he.

PROFITS.
All we have to do now is to glance at
the profits derived from grape culture in
Florida. The figures are furnished by two
eminent professors: Mr.. Geo. Hussman,
of California, and Emile Dubois, of Flor
ida.
According to Mr.. Geo. Hussman's fig
ures it costs $3.50 an acret start a vine
yard in California, which will show net
return of 1926 an acre at the end of the
fifth year-the return for the fourth year
will only cover expenses for that year.
The expenses in Florida of starting a
vineyard amount to $165 per acre; but
in the third year your vines will give you
a half crop, which will pay expenses for
that year. In the fourth year, that is to
say one year sooner than in California,
the net profit per acre will be $500. Prof.
E. Dubois at his vineyard has realized
profit of $345 per acre.
What can be more eloquent? What
more striking than these figures? Is there
in Florida mere profitable culture?
SERGE MALYRAN.
The following from Prof. Dubois was
next read:
NOMENCLATURE OF GRAPES.
To the President and Members of the Florida
Horticultural Society:
The success with Niagara grapes IN our
Southern counties has given new impe-
tus to grape culture in Florida. Up to
two or three years ago it seemed to have
been the accredited opinion that only the
clay hills of Middle Florida were suited to
grapes, Just as twas believed some six or
seven years ago that the Scuppernong
was the only grape for that same section.
