The grape growers finish up their
shipments about the same time rs the
peaches, and are virtually done. Know
ing tho Immense peach yield, they did

crop, and rs compared with peaches
are, we think. entirely satisfied with
the results. The returns. as We learn
from them, will show profit OF from
500 to $3.50 per acre. This Ia only
about half what 1t was last year. but
: then there was scarcity OF all other
J kinds OF fruit. The dry season wis
very much to the advantage OF the
grape in ripening properly.
