Riparia has proved the best resistant. It is difficult to ascertain definitely the acre- 

 age planted, for resistants are planted in spots. The original vineyard is going fast. 

 The vines on light soil go first, and then those on damp soil.' In a vineyard not far from 

 this one the manager thinks phylloxera attacks vines quicker that are over underground 

 watercourses.
