THE A CROP

The cultivation of grapes for the
market, for raisins and to make wine.
has become an important business Of
the United States duri1g recent years.
says the National Geographical Maya.
zine. Two hundred million dollars Of
capital are invested in this and de-
pendent industries. California sup
plies the people of the country with
practically all the raisins that they
eat, 100, 900, 900 pounds, and the same
state, with New York and Ohio, pro-
duees annually 24,000,o 900 gallons of
wine. The annual grape crop, before
any of the grapes are char ged to vino
or raisins, reaches SIS. 100000 in value
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1904-02-20

and nearly 100000 tons In weight.
The amount Of wine made In the
United States is, however, very small
compared to that produced In the
countries of Europe.~ Even Turkey,
whose Mohammedan population drink
little wine, produces nearly twice as
much wine as the United States.
France in 1901 produced 1884, 33,
200 gallons of wine, while this coun-
try produced 90, SOC, 900 gallons. But
California alone has a grape and wine
producing area almost equal to the
whole Of France. SO that some idea
can be formed Of the great possible
ties of this important industry.

TRIBUTE PAID TO THE TRUSTS.

The information just given out to
the effect that, on account of the Balti
more fire the Insurance Trust would
raise the rate of insurance through
out the country in order to cover It's
loss there, was interesting CD in Ameri-
Gus, as elsewhere, as this city pays
annually some $50 900 or $4,000 into
the Golfers of the Trust and would view
with apprehension any threatened in
crease IN this amount.
Some figures regarding the business
of the Trust may be interesting.
The combined paid up capital of the
Fire Insurance Trust Is $47, 900, 900.
In 1902 the total income ofthis $47, 900
600 was $146, 600, Ooe, thirteen million
dollars coming from the outside in
vestments, while SIPS, 100000 was col
lected from the publics pockets.
OF this SIPS. 900, 900, So, 100000 was
paid back to the pnblIc on fire losses
The ins urance people kept the change.
The distinction between an invest
ment of capital in the building of a
cot on mill or railroad or any of the
industries is that the capital of the
Industries goes into brick and stone
machinery, etc All these deteriorate
wear out and finally waste except fol
additional capital to keep up the main
tenance account.
In insurance the entire capital is helC
intact, probably invested IN United
States bonds, all paying income which
may be disposed of at full value a
any time. So that if the comp mics
as the policies held against then
mature, choose to, they can quit buei
ness and pocket their capital on shor
notice. No loss, no wear and tear, NJ
old building to tear down, no rails t,
the scrap heap.
The $47, 900, 900 Is worth S47. 900, 0O
possible more-and is simply helt
in the banks as a guarantee.
