Big Grape and Apple Harvests. I live in the centre of the great grape belt of the south shore of Lake Erie. Some years ago one saw nothing but wheat and barley in this region, with corn and grass on the hills to the south, but within ten years all has been changed. Now the whole country, hill-side and all, is one vast vineyard. Few raise anything else in their fields. I know one vineyard, twenty miles west of here, containing 300 acres. The vines stretch away almost as far as one can see. At this season grape-pickers come here in vast crowds. They are from the cities, and are a picturesque lot of folk. They dress in every fashion, and represent almost every nationality. They board themselves and live cheaply. Our fields are just now full of these pickers--thousands of men, women, boys, girls--and our streets are full of wagons carting the grapes to the railway stations for shipment. Although your maps show us bordering on Lake Erie, water transportation is impracticable from here. The banks of the lake here are high and rocky, and speed on water is too slow for perishable fruit. Besides, one could go only to Buffalo or Cleveland by lake, and the great grape markets are Philadelphia, New York, and Chicago.
