The Scuppernong Grape.

The Scuppernong is the popular
grape in the Southern States, and the
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 run
when and where it wills.
There is on Roanoke Island, N. c..
a huge Sc1ppernong vine that covers
nearly an acre of ground, and which
residents of the island declare was
planted by Sir Walter Raleigh's oil
onists when they made the first set
tlement in America.
w. E. Wattles has a vine at his
home on Water street in Palatka
which if given time and a chance
would run all over that neighborhood
1t has already gone over into DR.
Warren's yard and the doctor has
welcomed it by building a trellis and
it already makes a fine spread, and
during the past season provided freely
a supply of delicious fruit.
The vines are propogated from run,
ners which may be had from any es-
tablished vine by pulling or digging
up the overhanging and, rooted
branches. These should be set out
in the fall and may be trained either
on a scaffold or trellis, the former re,
quiring less attention, while the latter
affords easier access for pruning ant
gathering the fruit and gives the vine
more fruit bearing surface.
Recent investigation by Prof. Hus'
mann of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture shows that the
vines do better if properly pruned
The grapes grow in small clusters
each of half a dozen or less, like
punches of cherries. The grape has
thick skin bit the pulp has a fine
flavor, is go d eating, and not only
makes high grade jelly, but goot
wine.
A prominent winery in North Car
olina, in attempting to increase the
vineyard acreage offers to make a
twenty-five year contract to take the
entire output of vineyards at $50 a
ton. The owner of the winery es-
Inmates returns of $500 per acre, an
average profit from vineyards.

this committee made recommenda-
tions which were approved, and bills
were drawn for presentation to the
legislature which if passed will make
the changes, one of which is that
outlined in The Palatka News of last
week.
The bills recommended by the bar
committee of the Fourth Judicial cir
cult are three in number, only two of
which, however, affect in any way
the proposed creation of a new cir
cult of which Putnam county would
form part. These bills are as fol-
lows:
% A Bill for an Act creating an
additional circuit to be. designated as
the Twelfth Judicial Circuit to be
composed of the counties of Duval
and Nassau.
(2) An Act changing, defining and
fixing the territorial limits and boun-
daries of the Fourth and Eighth Ju-
dicial Circuits
The Fourth, heretofore composed of
Clay, st. Johns, Dlval and Nassau
counties to be composed of Clay, st.
Johns and Putnam;
The Eighth, heretofore composed of
Alachua, Bradford, Baker, Levy and
Putnam, to be composed of Alachua,
Bradford, Baker and Levy.
1t will be seen that these bills con-
template just such changes as were
outlined in the story published in The
Palatka News last week, and that the
measures would have the support of
the Putnam bar.
The bills will be presented to the
Legislature and will be urged by mem
bers of the bar of all the counties
now comprising the Fourth Judicial
Circuit. Putnam county, where the
business of the court is well cared
for, is really not in need of the pro-
posed reorganization, but the other
counties do need relief and will urge
the passage of these bills.
The News has also been informed
that Judge Wills has stated that he
would not object to looping off one of
the counties from his circuit, the
eighth. 1t will be noted that the bill
does lop off one-Putnam county.
