grapes as they clustered on the vines on
the hillside, was an eye opener and shows
that successful grape culture here is an as

just inside OF the corporate limits of Mas
rietta ard one just outside. He has one
acre OF grapes in the former that is loaded,
at the least calculation, with two tons of
grapes, that will be ripe in about fifteen
days. He has in all nineteen acres in
grapes and sixty-fve acres in peaches.
he has forty varieties of grapes. He used
5000 posts and forty miles of wire in maxi
ing trellises. Just think of 5000 holes dug
and enough wire used to stretch to Atlan>
ia and back. Besides peaches, mostly
Elberta. we noticed that he had an orch,
ard OF apple trees. The Judges farming
is ON this intensive and diversified system.
There were strawberry beds, wheat, oats,
corn, watermelon and canteloupe patches
and a splendid Bermuda pasture, where
grazed sleek horses and cattle. 1t was a
very pleasing aspect and NO one takes
more delight in agriculture and fruit cul>
ture than Judge Gober When the grapes
turn purple and red, and their juices sweets
