wide departure from the original

where the grape did come from.
What impresses us most is not its
lowly beginning. but what it is ac-
complishing today with so many ad-
vantages. The greatest development
of our native grape industry has CEN
tered in Ontario, New York and
Ohio. bordering on large streams
and lakes.
Grapes are grown in nearly every
State with the exception of the most
northern ones, though not to the
extent that we can call such under
takings an industry. Usually the
grapes are grown for home use. or on
a small scale for nearby markets.
Today unfermented grape juice is
becoming SO popular that more
grapes must be planted for this need

Grape
By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Grapes are the oldest of domesti-
Gated fruits. 1t is believed that Noah
was quite we'll acquainted with the
grape As fruit and with its Juice as
wine. No doubt wine was made of
wild grapes before it occurred to
some one to cultivate them and have
them under supervision, since wild
grapes were the property OF the one
who found them first.
The grape of history Is the Old
World fruit, Wits vinifera, known as
the wine bearing Wits" and con-
ceded to be Of Asia. The first use
of the grape is always for wine: its
second use, raiSins, and third, as fruit
for dessert, cooked or raw.
The American Colonies tried very
hard to introduce the European
grape to America, but failure after
failure resulted and this puzzle was
not solved until the latter part of
the last century. Then it was found
that American parasites had diScov-
cred that the fruit and vine Of the
coming vineyards contained delec-
table food and mildew finished what
insects left behind.
In the struggle to find a grape
that could be grown successfully.
native species were located and
transplanted to hillsides. for the
early Americans thought grapes
would have to be grown thus to
flourish. Terraced slopes were fash
ioned. and many plants carefully
established, but they died of black
rot.
North America is very rich in
species of Wits which may be found
from ocean to ocean and from the
tropics to the British possessions. So

growing on the hillside. These
grapes flourished for three genera
tions and through Mr.. Bulls efforts
the spot became a garden and that
is how the Concord grape received
its title.
Grape growing was introduced into
California by the Franciscan mis-
sions during the latter part of the

18th century. Hence this variety is
known as the mission grape.
At the present time the grape in
dustry involves many millions of
dollars, and unlike other fruit in
dustries the price does not vary so
greatly. The crop must be handled
quickly in order that profitable re-
turns may be realized.
