Too Ulucli Frail How It Pay.
A few weeks ago -we wrote a couple
of short articles under the above head
ing. Some persons were disposed to
characterize them as unprecedented
and, unwarranted extravagancies.
Since that time we have become
sessed of other facts as to the paying
feature of fruit culture, and that too,
ia the older States where, if at any
place, it might be supposed the busi
ness was over-done. We extract from
an article published by Dupley &
"Merkeix, Geneva, New York "In
ducements to extend the culture of
Fruit."
The same is said as
to Plums, Cher-
aspberrleH, Cur-
ries, Strawberries, Itapj
rants, Blackberries, Gooseberries and
Grapes, iii fact we could fill up our
Agricultural page with just such quo
tations. "We repeat: plant fruit, and
do not bo afraid of overdoing it.
Apples. As it takes generally
six. or eight years for an orchard to
come into a good bearing state, some
people hesitate to plant, thinking Iho
time and expense is in a great measure
lost. In reply to this we would quote
the remarks made by O. C. Chapin of
East Bloorafield; N. Y'to J: J.
Thomas. lie said that he considered
the yearly growth of each apple tree
planted in his immense orchard of
over one hundred and fifty acres, was
fully worth one dollar before they com
menced bearing. lie has had expe
rience for nearly half a century, and
he says he considers that to be a low
estimate. At fifty trees per acre, this
would mate a yearly increase of val
ue of fifty collars per acre, which no
doubt is quite within the mark.
An acre of good orchard is worth, in
nearly all parts of the country f from
five hundred to one thousand dollars,
and it is one of the best kind of in
vestments at those prices, one or two
years'" crop frequently paying the
whole amount. The price paid for the
fruit is steadily on the increase,' "is
the wealth and inclination to pur
chase Of the country Increases. There
is not the slightest indication thittb$
price of fruit will ever be as low in the
future a9 in the past. The wonderful
growth of our cities and towns in
wealth and population, . will always
give a market at prices highly satis
factory to the producer.
'If apples are planted at the rate of
fifty trees per acre, rows of peach trees
can be placed between the apples, and
which, growing more .quickly than
th'o: apple ' trees,' soon protect them
from winds, and thus are a great ben:
cfit to them. After eight or ten years
of productiveness, as the space is
needed for the apples, theyT may be
removed, leaving the orchard in bet
ter condition for health from their
protection, and at the.same time hav
ing yielded to the planter a large re
turn for the trouble." '
Peai. Dr. C. "W. Grant, of New
burgh, gathered four hundred speci
mens 'from a tree of the -Flemish
licauty, only eight years planted,
which he sold for $30, or 13. cents
each. T. G. Ytomans, of Walworth,
N. Y.t sold in 1So7, nearly his entire
crop of one variety, at 12 cents each
by the barrel. In 1SC0, one barrel,
filled with one hundred and twenty
five pears, sold for $35,G2, and eleven
barrel for $315. Very large specimens
of Atigouleme have, In some instan-
ces, retailed at a dollar each.
Austin
Pinney, " of Clarkston,- N." T., - sold
some of his pears at 10 cents each, or
?isper uusnei. J. bucKiicy, or lios
ton, obtained for his crop of the Louise
Bonne de Jersey, in 1S5G, $10 per
bushel. John Gordon, of Brighton,
near Boston, sold Bartlett pears raised
with the highest cultivation, "with
skillful management in preparing for
market, for $10 per bushel, while good
ones, with more common care,
brought only $3 per bushel. Elwan
ger& Barry, of Rochester, sold their
best well-ripened Glout Morceau pears
in winter, at $13 per bushel, and oth
ers have done the same. This sort has
often borne at eight or ten years of
age, under good culture.
T. R. Austin, near Boston, (says
CoL Wilder,) set out 500 dwarf pears

menced bearing in about three years,
and have borne regular and abundant
crops ever since. An account was
kept of the sales from them for the
past six years, which amounted to
$3,403. They occupy about an acre.
Ellwanger & Barry, of Rochester,
have a plantation of Dwarf Virgalieus,
or Doyennes, which gave the fourth
year at the rate of $500 per acre, and
about the 6ame the sixth year.
"W. P. Townsend, of Lock port, had
about an acre of dwarf pears of differ
ent sorts; that bore the fifth year from
the bud, forty-one barrels selling at
$10 per barrel, or $110 for the acre. ,
T. G. Yeomans, of Walworth, N.
Y., has large plantations of dwarfs
about twelve years old. They are ten
feet apart, and are cultivated, and the
6oil kept perfectly clean by two hor
ses walking abreast, at less cost than a
corn crop requires. They have yield
ed from half a bushel to a bushel per
tree, and have sold for $U to $33 pet
barrel which is at the rate of $2,0
and upward per acre.
One Bartlett pear tree belonging to
Philo Branson yielded from thirty to
fifty dollars worth of fruit per annum
for a series of years, when fruit was
only worth one-half its present value
A Geneva fruit bu3er paid $90 for
the fruit of three pear trees, and
picked the fruit and marketed it him
self. The trees stood on the . farm
now owned by J. O. Sheldon.
F. A. Stow, of Troy, N. Y., sent to
New York in the fall of 1SGS, two bar
rels of Seckel pears. The purchasers
returned him $40 per barrel, and at the
same time sending him word that if
he had any more such fruit they
would give him $00 per barrel for it. '
In 1S57, a firm in Geneva came into
possession of a place having ten or
twelve pear trees which had been
planted four years. The fruit brought
live dollars per tree jer year for sev
eral years on the averse, when fruit

Crop Report.
! The Department of Agriculture fur
nishes a summary of the crop reports.
A pum Diary is given rhbwlDg'tho
mean temperature 4 and rain of
several bUtes for July and -August, as
contrasted with those months last
year, The. region jrnost- subject, to
drouth that west of. the Mississippi
and Missouri has had the most regu
lar supply of rain, and the valley of
the formerhas had an abundant rain
hill to its mouth, while Alabama and
Georgia have suffered from drouth, and
the Atlantic States, in a still higher,
degree, liot only throughout the tide
water region, but in a large'portion of
the Eastern States. t On the Southern
Atlantic seaboard 1116" heat has been
greater this year than in 1868, and the
rain-fall less. " North and east of New
York the heat has been less, as also
the rain-fall. In the one case it was
too hot and iu other too cold for corn
and all other summer crops, which
suffered . accordingly. While, the
drouth has prevailed east of the AUe
Khanies vthe great Mississipii basin
has had an unusual amount of rain.
West Virginia and Ohio alone, of the
central aera, had less rain -fall in Au
gust than In 1808. The excessive mois
ture of the summer i3 sustained to its
close, especially In Wisconsin, Min
nessota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas aad
Missouri. Both the early and the lat
ter rains have been somewhat, extra
ordinary west of the Missouri, yet
the high temperature and deep thirst
ty soil of that, region have converted
the visitation into a blessing. - The
drouth of the seaboard has not been
eaqualed in many years. .The compar
ison between this year and last shows
that New England has had but one
third as much rain in August of the
present year. New York a little more
than one-half, New, Jersey scarcely
one-eight;. Pennsylvania, one-sixth;
Maryland one-ninth. Extracts from
correspondents will show the injuri
ous effect of this excessive drouth on
corn, cotton, and garden vegetables.
Corn The corn crop has been the
prey of numerous ills in every section
of the country. The only States that
now show an average conditiou are Ne
braska, Kansas, Florida, Lousiana,
Texas and Arkansas. Excessive rains
retarded planting, and necessitated re
planting in the spring throughout the
West and South. Cold, wet weather
prevented a healthy Vigorous growth
in almost every State, and in the sea
son of earing and maturing a serious
drouth affected it. on. the Atlantic
coast, with injuroUs heat In the South
and unfavorable reduction of temper
ature in the North.: In deep.spils, nat
urally drained, the extreme moisture
of the West did no injury. In heavy
or fiat lands with clay or subsoil the
damage was great, in some cases re
sulting to total, failure "The loss' as
shown in the table is forty-nine per
cent in Virginia; from thirty to forty
in Maine, Vermont,, Maryland, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee.
Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin; from twenty to thirty in
New Hampshier, Connecticut. New
York, New Jersey, Deleware, Geor
gia, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, and Minnes
ota; from ten to twenty in Massachu
setts and Pennsylvania, and from one
to ten per cent, in Rhode Island, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Missouri and Cali
fornia. Unless the close of the season
ia Very favorable, there must be 150,
000,000 bushels les3 than a full crop.
Votton J here will be a reduction in
the yield of cotton from the Carolinas
to Alabama, and a meterial increase
from Mississippi to Texas. Georgia,
Florida and South Carolina have suf
fered most, mainly from drouth in a
few localities from rust, the Caterpil
lar1 and "boll-worm. Our estimates
makes the increase in Mississippi,
Liousiana ana lexas respectively, ten.
twelve and fourteen per cent. The
probabilities at present favor a yield
of 2,7.50,000 bales. , ,

and California.. Some of it is inferi

harvest. - A considerable portion of
the Western wheat is of a good qnal

superior. - ' ; i -
Emits As rule have -yielded
abundantly; apples in a less degree
than other species, New York, Penn

duction in the number of stock hogs,
but alio in the .condition.- Missouri,

At the National Saccharine Test for Wine, at
Jlamiuondsixirt. . (.ct.,th. 1.x. tlie ttiM
stood in saccharine matter 91 Walter &.Irmn 101
tk-lau-are HO. This test was nude with 17 ounces or
the Walter, somewhat froren, to 34 ounces of each ot
the other varieties.
Next morning the Superintendent, cierlr. ana on
of the Directors of the Pleasant Valley Win Co.
(the parties who conducted the test the day before.)
to sati-sfv themselves of the merits of the "Walter"
by an equal trial, tented 17 ounces of lona from the
same lot tnat were usea ine nT oeiore. inn ine
sacchnrometer stood at !! the alter heatlnir its.
Had 17 ounces of tne lelaware and Catawba been
pressed equally hard with the Waiter, their skins
and centres being acid, the Delaware would have
stood lower and the Catawba proportionally below
the Delaware. All the other varieties ranged much
lower than those enumerated above.
There had been constnnt mina and damp weather
n the section where tne M alter grew its competit
ors irrowing at llammonasnort ana a long tne iaKas,
where there had been but little rain during the sea
son dry soil and weather being necessary for the
perfect sweetening or grapes.
A committee of the American Institute Farmer's
Club, in a reeport of Sept. 22, lw, printed In the
New York Semi-Weekly Tribune of Sept. 2ilh. after
speaking of the qualities of tbe Waiter, ty: "We
conclude the Waiter will be a valuable grape In tbe
grape regions of the npper Mississippi, on the shores
of Lake Erie, In western Hew 'iork, on the slate
soils of western Pennsylvania, and wherever else
native grapes are successfully grown."

Messrs. Ferris CavwooH.
Dear Sirs: ours of the 18th I am in receipt of.
In which you ask il I have any objections to sending
you, for puDucation, tne lacut 1 am acquainted with
In relation to the character of tbe Waiter irnuc. 1
have never indorsed the character or usefulness ot
vines, or other articles of any description. and would
nnt.t mrnrwiit staee of lite were it not for two
reasons which seem sufficient. First, I know the
Walter urane wilt meet tne prejudices widespread
throughout the couutry, caused by the wonhleasnes
In mol localities of many of its prederesHors. Sec
ond, because I can say from personal observation
that the Walter is the best variety I have had any
knowledge of, and I think f have cultivated nearlr
all that have been recommended, discarding them
ail ana railing Dack npon the Concord and Hartford
rronnc as vineyara varieties. 1 am interested in
knowing that the fruit cf the Walter rrows larger
each year as the vine grows older, being lata year
fully one-third larger tuun it waa two years aiiot It
grows well ; sets fruit well. I have seen it rie sev
eral times before Hartford, and I have never seen
any miidew on its fruit or on Its large and thick, but
Ielaware shaped foliage. The havor of the fruit I
think superior to any other variety. You say in
your circular It is a seedling of the Delaware and
Diana; I think the character of each of these vane
ties is quite distinguishable In the Waller, particu
larly that of the Delaware. I alsd think it would
make a wine of hhrh character. I have visited it
annually since it n ml bore, six years ago, three times
In Ulster Co., N. Y., in a low vallev, wher the Isa
bella seldom ripens, and each time it was full v tine
in August, I have seen it each of the three past sea
sons in IoiiKiiiceeitie, ripening at the same time,
excepting last year, when the constant rains pre
vented all varieties from maturing at their ohjmI
time, but it perfected iLs fruit by the middle of Seo-
tember. The raisins of the last mentioned crop I
nave seen and eaten, which were good. From its
succeding in the low valley and tenacious clay ot
aioaena, ana also 1:1 iiie dry slatev position in
Pouirhkecpsie, I think it will he well aduuted to the
varied sections of our country- You may make
whatever use of these opinions yon deem proper.
