786 FRUIT CULTURE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 



There is no need of irrigation for the vineyards of this region ; and 

 in consequence vines are planted where no irrigation takes place. 



The estimated average yield from each vine is 5 to 10 pounds of 

 grapes, worth from 4 to 8 cents for the whole product. The expenses 

 are about 7 per cent, of the income.
