There is but one grape belt worthy of the name in Pennsylvania, 
and that is in Erie county, where it forms, in fact, the western end 
of the famous "Chautauqua Grape Belt." The vineyards in Erie 
county are mainly confined to a narrow strip of land, lying along 
the southern shore of Lake Erie. This strip is not over tour miles 
wide, and extends in length from Harboicreek eastward to the New 
York State line, a distance of twelve miles. Northeast tow-nship, 
in Erie county, is crossed by this- belt and has now about 4,000 acres 
in grapes. It is remarkable that of the 47,000,000 pounds of grapes 
growm in Pennsylvania, in 1809, nearly two-thirds, or 31,648,022 
pounds, were produced in Erie county. This indicates the adapta- 
bility of the region to grape culture. 
The readers of this bulletin will probably be interested to know 
the figures of the crop reported for the census of 1900 for each county 
of Pennsylvania. They are quoted in the following table showing 
the value of the product, number of vines, pounds of grapes and gal- 
lons of wine:
