1905. — The effects of the winter injury of 1903-04 showed 

 more and more plainly as the season of 1904 advanced. Late in 

 the fall the grand total of dead vines was found to be as set forth 

 in Table I, It is not quite fair to attribute all of the deaths in 

 the experimental plats to the severe cold but there is no other 

 apparent reason for the wholesale dying of the vines; and grapes 

 everywhere in the Chautauqua Belt died following this winter, so 

 it is safe to say that those in this vineyard were almost wholly 

 killed by cold. In the Wilcox vineyards adjoining the experi- 

 mental plantations many vines, especially young ones, succumbed 

 to the winter.
