INTRODUCTORY NOTE. 



Owing to the fact that the vineyards of a part of the State are being 

 destroyed by the phylloxera, and that at any moment the hitherto 

 unaffected parts may become infected, it has been deemed advisable 

 to publish the following bulletin in order to aid those who are already 

 making earnest endeavors to replant their ravaged vineyards, as well as 

 to endeavor to correct misconceptions of some fundamental principles. 



In this work I have followed very closely my answers to letters of 

 inquiry from the vineyardists who have written to the University for 

 information, so that the bulletin may be considered as an answer to 

 actual questions asked by the vine-growers. 



I have drawn largely on notes made from the lectures of my former 

 instructor, Professor Pierre Viala, of PEcole Nationale d' Agriculture de 

 Montpellier, France, as well as from the revision of those lectures as 

 given in his valuable book "Adaptation." All those who read French 

 are strongly advised to consult this work, as it is complete scientifically 



as well as practically.
