GOOD OLD sCUpPERNoNG WINE.
Product of u Descendant Of Wild
Southern Grapes.

The s"cuppernong Is the popular
grape with the people Of the South
ern States, and they are also fond Of
the vine. But the s~cuppernong vine
Is In a class by itself. 1t is the
near-descendant Of a wild species,
and retains many characteristics Of
the uncultivated vine, which loves to
Il when and where 1t will.
The vines are propagated from
runners which may be had from any
established vine by pulling or dig
ging up the ~overhanging and rooted
branches. These should be set out
in the fall, and may be trained
either on I scaffold or ~trellis, the for
mer requiring less attention, while
the latter affords easier acces for
pruning and gathering the fruit and
gives the vine more fruit-bearing
surface.
The running poles are best if of
large cypress or juniper saplings,
three to five inches in diameter, strip
ped Of their bark; yet any sort of
pole or rail may be used for this pur-
pose, as it may easily be replaced
when rotten. If trellising is pre-
ferred convenience may again be re-
garded IN the selection OF posts, as on
account Of their small size 1t is not
difficult to replace them when
needed.
The old theory was that the Soup
pernong vine did not need pruning
but the recent Investigations of Prof.
Husmann, Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, and OF other
careful observers show that the Soup
pernong vines, whether grown on ar
Dor or t~rellis, do better If properly
pruned. The grapes grow in small
clusters, each Of half a dozen berries
or less, like punches of cherries.
When ripe the fruit is not picked
by hand as you find in other vine
yards, but on account of the high
running vines the grapes are shaken
into large sheets of burlap or cloth
spread underneath the vine. The
growers sell their crops not by the
ton, but at SO much a bushel. Ac-
cording to the American Wine Press,
the scuppernong grape has a peculiar
flavor and odor which are always rec
ognizable in the wine. The qualities
Of the fruit are such that they are
not easy to handle in a dry wine, and
so most Of the scuppernong is made
into sweet wine.

Our Government Completes the Most
Powerful Plant I'm the World.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Crackling
and suffering with life, the navy's
e wireless station at Arlington,
Va.--the most powerful in the world
tonight flung from it's lofty "erials
the first message which signaliZed
the completion Of an important step
in the building Of q globe-girdling
wireless system which will keep every
ship Of the United States navy and
every insular possession within in
slant communication Of the capital.
Wireless operators, professional
and amateur, on one side of the
globe probably had their instruments
at their ears tonight, straining to
catch the faint buzzes as the power

The radius Of the new plant will
be 5000 miles. This ange, probably
the acme of wireless operations, will
be attained gradually and it may be
weeks before the big plant is tuned
up" to it's highest efficiency. Com
munication with the Pacific coast
will be attempted only at night for
the present, but later on throughout
the day the secretary of the navy
at his desk in Washington will be
within instantaneous communication
with Key West, Guatanamo, Colon,
the naval coaling stations, the win

lantic stations. When the plant is
working perfectly and the chain of
stations Is completed Washington
will be in touch with Hawaii, Samoa,
Guam, the PnlllpplneS ana Pearl
Harbor.

The completed system will cost
about $1,000,000. The seas will not

messages to the various stations for
