.s.ss.s
When the Free Press man meets up
with such interesting and learned
men as Prof. Geo. c. Hussman, an
expert in Viticulture for the United
States Government at Washington,
he at once begins to feel for pencil.
Prof. Hussman spent several days
with us the past week, and visited
among the peach and grape growers.
Besides carefully looking around for
rot and other besetting troubles with
the fruit, he is here especially to talk
about growing scuppernong grapes.
Prof. Hussman says that we have
5oo 900 acres of land in North Caro-
lima that will grow the scuppernong-
and which is not much good for any
thing else. And by estimating a lit
tie we see that an acre of ground will
hold 10 separate vines-or arbors, as
we often call them, and that every
season each vine will produce from
five to fifteen bushels of grapes. Let
us make it easy and take the more
conservative view ust for example
100 vines, to the acre, producing five
bushels to the vine, and at selling
price Of so cents, gives us $3.50. And
the beauty of it is, the very small
outlay for care and keeping, after the
vine is planted. Prof. Hussman says
that he will give us the name Of par
ties now who will contract for thous-
ands of bushels, guaranteeing the
sum of not less than IS cents, and If
the best quality. rs cents.
Special instructions in cultivaling
and manner of marketing can be had
by communicating with Prof. Huss-
man, and we honestly believe that
people in this section could strengthen
their bank accounts by planting the
scuppernong grape vines.
And the entire section of the coun-
try from Richmond south into Florida
should at once become interested-for
it is the natural home of this grape.
The Free Press will gladly take the
names all persons interested, and can
furnish them special information as
to culture, marketing, etc.

Salassi-were among the most pugna-
cious of the Alpine tribes, and so far
from submitting, like those at the foot
of the Mount Cents, they lost no
chance of making themselves not less
unpleasant to their lowland neighbors
than is the general wont of highland
ers. When at last Roman army had
stamped out the nuisance, good care
was taken that it should not occur.
A fortified town was built in an open
part of the valley where the roads join
from the two passes. which still may
claim to be the best-preserved ex

town. In situation also Aosta Is with

it is a city of the mountains, but with
yet more impressive surroundings.

with it's maize fields and vineyards,

battlements. To the north the valley
of the Great st. Bernard leads up to
the snowy cap of the Velan, and the
icy summit of the still loftier Combin !;
while to the south the huge rocky pyra'
mid of the Becca di Mona rises full
5000 feet above the streets, backed
by the still loftier Mont Emilius
Not till about twenty-nine years be-
fore the Christian era did the Romans
become masters of the valley, and then
only after a desperate struggle. A
