SWEET AND SOUR ON SAME VINE.


Chemists claim that the leaves of
a plant grown in dark room con-
tain starch instead of sugar, and if
the same plant is exposed to light,
that as the color changes the starch
Is converted into sugar in the leaves.
So l have made some experiments
along that line the past summer, by
letting the grapes get their full
growth and then take off all the
leaves from the branches having
grapes. Not grape ever sweetened
up or got fit to eat, while they hung
on and seemed to ripen. On other
vines l took all leaves off of a spur
Of two eyes that left when pruning,
that had since made four or five
feet of vine to each eye, with two
or three punches of grapes to the
vine. They failed to sweeten their
grapes, while the vines from spur
coming from the same vine, and less
than one foot, either way, which had
all foliage lett on it, had nice, sweet
grapes. This shows that the sugar
was manufactured in the leaf, and
that each stem or vine of this years
growth furnishes the sweet for the
fruit on that particular branch only.
1t also shows that all summer prun-
take, if good, sweet grapes are want

Fl BALTIMORE, July G-The Manufac-

Preparations are under way at the
United States Geological Survey for a
systematic study OF the age, character
and general relations OF the rocks Of
the coastal plain from the mouth OF
the Potomac tof the Mississippi River.
Special effort will be made, 1t is said,
TO determine the position and extent of
beds of economic interest, including
bearing beds, phosphate de-
posits, fuller's earth and other mate
rails. The general plan of the investi-
cation was formulated at a conference
in Washington early in January. and
If present plans are carried out field
work in Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Florida will be completed
during 1907, and that in Georgia and
Mississippi in 1908. This work has al
ready been done in New Jersey and
Maryland, and is far advanced In Ala

Farmers to the Front.

Herein lies the proof OF this state
ment: There are in the United States
5.739,372 farmers, of whom e.756.42S are
in thirteen Southern States. excluding
Missouri, Maryland and Oklahoma.
This is nearly one-half of the whole.
There Is in the same territory about
the same proportion in farm area or
acreage. From this one would infer
that the South should produce q SINH
lar proportion or percentage OF the
farm crops OF the county, but this Is
not the case. Aside from cotton, sugar
and rice, OF which the South has q
monopoly, and should therefore be that
much ahead Of the remainder Of the
United States In farm products. the
South only produces about one-eighth
of the standard crops. If tho produce
ton OF these crops In the South should
be brought UP to the sanle ratio with
the rest of the country the annual In
come OF tho South would be increased
round billion Of dollars!
Well to Follow Hobson.
Again: Tho value Of the farm prop
erty OF the United States. including
buildings, Improvements and live
stock, is s20,439. 901,164. The value OF
this property in. the South is only
S3,735. 450,S49. whenit should be about
one-half instead. The South is easily
capable of not only producing its equal
share In these crops, but with proper
cultivation 1t can surpass the rest of
the country, as he's been demonstrated
in a number Of instances. If this were
done the values Of farm property
would reach their just position and
the South would be richer in products
and property by fully ten billions Of
dollars! Where else can such returns
be found? Given a proper share in
the production of these crops every
other limo Of material wealth would
| likewise respond and the South would
lead the world In Its prestige and pow
er. Is this not worth working for?
Suppose the press. and those other
agencies named above. should start
a campaign for a Greater South, based
on the foregoing facts, who doubts
but what results Indicated would soon
be obtained? Congressman Richmond
