GRAPE GROWING IN OzARKS
Boone County Leads In the ,Estae-
lishlng of Vineyards.

Two splendid punches OF white
grapes found their way to the ZINES
Office this week from the vineyards
Of Squire J. A Wann, near Omaha, in
this county. They were the luclous
sweet grape for which California is
noted, and were quite as handsome
and tasty as the best from the
Golden State.
Our people have just been finding
out that along the northern border
of Boone County there are great
vineyards yielding $4,000 to 10000
pounds to the acre, and that IN the
vicinity of Omaha these vineyards
cover more than 500 acres.
About five years ago the grape
growing industry was started along
it's line by the White River railroad,
which gave the finest plants to
farmers who would agree TO give
them proper cultivation. 1t was
the idea Of the railroad people that
the Ozark mountains generally offer.
ed favorable conditions for grape
culture, and its success in North
Boone has demonstrated thecorrect'
ness of the theory.
Shipments this year began the
first of this month and will be con-
tiuued into September Just now
the largest sales are being made
They go in the regulation baskets
and are being marketed readily in
Kansas City, st, Louis, Joplin and
Springfield.

slaughter houses, municipal ice plants,
municipal baths and municipal manu-
featuring facilities for small industries
One of the most important OF such
activities is the municipal market
Such markets are best conducted by
board OF managers. whose duty it is
to conduct the entire undertaking.
The principles upon which such in
situations are conducted are to buy at
the most favorable times. to buy in bulk
at the lowest price and to sell at retail
at the lowest possible prices without
showing any profit above overhead
charges and running expenses. which
include all salaries. maintenance and
insurance of market and goods and
other expenses incidental to the enter
prise.
AS the managers buy in bulk and as
they have the city's credit and ample
cash capital at hand they obtain their
goods ut the most favorable prices
and discounts. The public is also as
sured Of the quality of the goods and
of perfectly fair treatment from the
managers of the store, who are. in
effect. to be considered the servants
OF the public.
Such municipal markets should be
we'll located. with easy access from all
parts of the city. and il this is not
feasible a number of branches should
be established This enables Il whole
city to be supplied with produce pur-
chased in single bulk.
There should be in such markets
different departments, as for meat
fish. vegetables. fruits. groceries. dairy
products. etc. Such Il market should
occupy block or SO of space. with
an interior court into which should run
a railroad siding. as we'll as wagon
way for delivery wagons. All loading
and unloading should be done In the
court and not on the Sidewalks
