Oklahoma City Times-Journal: August
BruhwiIer is known ali over the south
half of the county as the grower OF Gym
thian grapes, and the manufacturer of
Cynthiana wine. IL is generally supposed
that he has two or three acres of vine
yard, giving it only slight attention. The
fact is, however, that Mr.. Bruhwiler now
has twelve acres of vineyard, and has
Delaware and Catawba grapes as well as
Cynthianas. He isn't through planting
vineyard, either but expects 10 add about
six acres a year for several years TO
come. Mr. Bruhwiler knows how TO care
for a vineyard and now has his in fine
condition. Do you know what an acre Of
good fruit producing vineyard is worth?
Certainly not less than $500, and posi-
bly, as much as 800. A fair crop is not
less than four tons and at two cents per
pound this would bring $3.50, half of which
should be dividends upon the land invest
ment Every other crop could be a total
failure and still the vineyard would pay
ten per cent on 800 per acre. Mr. Bruh-
wiler has, besides MS vineyard, 800 apple
trees in bearing. He does general farm
ing too. but only just enough 70 feed his
stock. for his fruit is now occupying a
good part of his time.
