  Control 
  of 
  vine 
  pests, 
  particularly 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  vine 
  moth, 
  demands 
  

   the 
  united 
  action 
  of 
  all 
  vine-growers 
  in 
  order 
  that 
  the 
  cost 
  of 
  material 
  

   may 
  be 
  reduced 
  and 
  success 
  ensured 
  by 
  speedy 
  application. 
  The 
  flight 
  

   of 
  the 
  moths 
  only 
  lasts 
  from 
  8 
  to 
  10 
  days 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  necessary 
  to 
  use 
  all 
  

   available 
  means 
  in 
  that 
  period. 
  A 
  system 
  of 
  co-operation 
  would 
  be 
  a 
  

   great 
  help. 
  If 
  spraying 
  with 
  nicotin 
  were 
  carried 
  out 
  in 
  every 
  vine- 
  

   yard, 
  one 
  appHcation 
  would 
  probably 
  suffice 
  per 
  year, 
  but 
  where 
  control 
  

   is 
  not 
  universal, 
  two 
  appHcations 
  are 
  required.

  The 
  area 
  devoted 
  to 
  viticulture 
  in 
  Germany 
  is 
  shrinking, 
  and 
  further- 
  

   more 
  the 
  site 
  value 
  of 
  vineyards 
  is 
  now 
  only 
  f 
  or 
  J 
  that 
  of 
  aboutj20 
  

   years 
  ago. 
  One 
  of 
  the 
  three 
  reasons 
  given 
  by 
  the 
  author 
  is 
  the 
  more 
  

   difficult 
  and 
  more 
  costly 
  working 
  of 
  vineyards. 
  It 
  is 
  necessary 
  to 
  

   plant 
  vineyards 
  in 
  such 
  a 
  fashion 
  that 
  pest 
  control 
  may 
  be 
  rendered 
  

   easy 
  and 
  attainable 
  with 
  the 
  smallest 
  possible 
  outlay 
  of 
  time 
  and 
  labour. 
  

   One 
  necessary 
  reform 
  is 
  the 
  abolition 
  of 
  cross-baulks. 
  Wherever 
  

   possible, 
  wood 
  must 
  be 
  replaced 
  by 
  stone, 
  iron, 
  and 
  iron 
  wire. 
  Plant- 
  

   ing 
  in 
  rows 
  will 
  permit 
  the 
  plough 
  to 
  be 
  used 
  for 
  turning 
  up 
  the 
  soil. 
  

   The 
  fastening 
  of 
  the 
  summer-shoots 
  with 
  straw 
  is 
  obviated 
  by 
  passing 
  

   them 
  between 
  two 
  wires. 
  Spraying 
  associations 
  will 
  cheapen, 
  

   simphfy 
  and 
  speed 
  up 
  the 
  application 
  of 
  insecticides. 
  Co-operative 
  

   buying 
  will 
  effect 
  saving 
  in 
  purchasing 
  material. 
  Lastly, 
  the 
  small 
  

   grower 
  will 
  save 
  by 
  abstaining 
  from 
  experimenting 
  w^ith 
  all 
  kinds 
  of 
  

   secret 
  preparations.

  The 
  author 
  begins 
  his 
  report 
  with 
  the 
  remark 
  that 
  the 
  last 
  year 
  can 
  

   be 
  called 
  a 
  " 
  year 
  of 
  Lymantria 
  dispar,'' 
  as 
  this 
  was 
  the 
  principal 
  pest, 
  

   appearing 
  over 
  an 
  area 
  of 
  some 
  54,000 
  acres 
  and 
  threatening 
  to 
  play 
  

   havoc 
  with 
  forests 
  and 
  orchards. 
  It 
  was 
  evident 
  in 
  the 
  preceding 
  

   autumn 
  that 
  an 
  outbreak 
  might 
  occur, 
  indicated 
  by 
  the 
  large 
  amount 
  

   of 
  eggs 
  deposited 
  ; 
  an 
  examination 
  of 
  the 
  forests 
  confirmed 
  these 
  fears.

  author 
  mentions 
  the 
  precautions 
  taken 
  by 
  the

   to
