care, could make them grow much faster if I tried. Have a few givipe vines, 

 planted four years ago, but never done well until last year, always had goo d care, 

 think perhaps they had too much attention showed them, for after I quit working 

 them so much, they done better ; had a fine crop of extra nice grajjes from them 

 ast year, large and very fine ; think they are the Concord ; got them from Filmore 

 county, no name given. Have some currant bushes, but have not had very good 

 success with them, the fruit is very small. Raspberries (redcap,) do well with 

 very little care, winter kill some, bnt seem to recover every j-ear and bear well 

 not as much trouble to raise them as to raise a crop of corn. Strawberries do wel 

 with me. No reason why every farmer in Lyon county can't have all the small 

 fruit he wants. $10 invested this spring in currants, raspberries and strawberries, 

 will give Iiim all the berries he can use in two years.
