Mr.. E. S. Beckley raised about 5000
pounds Of "Beckley's Early" grapes
this year on a small lot in his bach
! yard. They are a fine. very large and
luscious black grape and sell at 8 cents
readily. Mr.. Beckley's vines do moi
cover more than a quarter OF an acre

can get at something near the value OF
an Iowa vineyard. At cents pei
pound Mr. Beckley's grapes would
bring him about $500 per acre. One
doesn't need to go to California Oh

growing. The same attention paid te
| the culture here would bring equally
as good returns.
