Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Muscadine Grapes During the last decade a general industrial and agricultural awak ening has been in progress in the South Atlantic and Gulf States. Rapid advancement has been made along many lines. Commercial and manufacturing industries are making their appearance on all sides and great strides have also been made in agricultural develop ment. The existing labor and other conditions render urgent the development of more varied agricultural pursuits and also demand that other lines besides those commonly followed be taken up. The destruction of the forests as a result of the turpentine and lumber industries calls for the utilization of the denuded lands, and there is thus abundant Opportunity for agricultural undertakings. The horticultural development of this, as of all other sections, depends to a very great extent upon the native fruits of the region. The South-is rich in native fruits, but even among the most impor tant of these none are more promising, none will adjust themselves so well to the diverse conditions, none will yield fruit for which there are so many uses or for which such large returns for time and means expended are received as the Muscadine grapes. The purpose of this bulletin is to give some glimpses of the past and present condition of the Muscadine grape industry, to call attention to some of its possibilities, and to indicate the important problems in the industry that require Solution. It is intended as a report of the viticultural investigations of the Bureau of Plant Indus; try in Muscadine regions from 1905 to 1911, including both a discus sion of the results already accomplished and a description of the important researches that are under way.
