investigation Of souppernong Grape.

The United States Department of
Agriculture is investigating the Scnp-
pernOng grape with a view OF deter
mining the best varieties, methods OF
culture, pruning, training, etc, as well
as the uses to which the fruit can be
put. One of the features of this inves-
tigation which is considered of partlcu-
lar Importance is the locating of vines
OF this type, either wild or in cultiva-
ton, that are known to excel in pro.
d~uctiveness, size, color or quality oil
fruit, or in some other important par
ticular.
III this connection. the Viticultufist
of the Bureau of Plant Industry, wlln
has the work in charge, will be glad to
receive reports on such vines from per

points of special merit tiat have been
observed in them.
Correspondence regarding snch vines
should be addressed to G. G. Husnlannl

every character and former f%actional
affiliations charmed with the Parker

Men who hitherto could agree on
nothing find no difficulty in agreeing

his tent or slurring or expressing doubt
Men who are antipodeal and antitheti-
cal find themselves united.

such enthusiasm are splendid harbin.
