(4) In replanting use only sound, vigorous cuttings taken from high- 

 yielding hills and see that the cuttings are not allowed to dry out 

 before planting. 



(5) After the plants are well started inspect the hills carefully 

 and replace all weak or dead plants with vigorous reserve plants from 

 the nursery. 



(6) Personalty supervise the work of replanting, especially when 

 it is done under contract or when immigrant labor is employed. 



(7) In pruning, carefully distinguish (a) normal, well-developed 

 stocks, which may be cut back either quite close to the crown or so 

 as to leave only the first set of eyes on the stumps of the vines of the 

 previous year, and (b) small, weak stocks, which should be so cut 

 that two or even three sets of eyes will be left on the stumps of the 

 vines. 



(S) See that the vines are properly tied up, so that they will not be 

 caught and broken or torn down by the implements used in cultivat- 

 ing or spraying. 



(9) Keep a constant oversight of the fields and whenever a vine 

 is torn down or falls to the ground see that it is inimediately replaced 

 on its proper support.
