BAD FOR THE VINEYARDS.
Phylloxera Making Sad Ravages in the
State.

Professor George Hausman, special State
agent of the Department of Agriculture,
aud a winemaker OF experience with extern
sive vineyards In the Napa Valley, reports
an extremely discouraging state of affairs
among the vineyards Of that portion OF the
State. Phylloxera has been making immense
ravages, and it is estimated that in two
years there will be no grapes In Napa ex-
cept those grown on vines grated on re-
sistant stock. Great and unusual variation
of temperature during the past s. ason has
also reduced the YIELD and the production
of wine in the Napa Valley. which in 1891
was over 4.500.000 gallons. bids fair to be
less than 100000 gallons in 1892. And the
quality is also below the average.
In the northern part of Sonoma County,
which is also in Professor Hausman's dis
trict. great quantities of grapes were left
unpicked owing to the lack of market.
while in the southern part Of the county the
grape crop was almost total loss owing to
phylloxera.
The crop will not reach one-halt the
actual average. In Santa Clara County the
same condition Of things exist, the promise
OF one-half crop not being fulfilled.
This discouraging condition of affairs,
which is general but in few localities, has
stagnated the wine market. No wine is
being offered by the makers and the dealers
are not buying on account of the uncertain
ty of the future

SOME QUESTIONS.

Why should any business house
keep open its doors after 6 o'clock ?
Can any one give an answer that can
not be successfully disputed 2 The
stores are kept open to catch trade,
but if they were not open the trade
would come at time when it knew
that the stores were open. Isn't this
so The merchant will answer, at
least some of them will, that many
purchasers are impulse buyers, that is,
they buy on the impulse upon seeing
an article that catches their fancy,
which they would not buy on second
thought, and by longer hours the mer-
chants catch more of these buyers.
Perhaps this is true in a measure, but
will the profit ON those few impulse
buyers pay the gas bills, the wear and
tear on stock and for the extra labor
that is imposed upon employees 7 It is
very doubtful. Even if it does what
does the merchant gain 7 Hehas only
put more labor upon his employees that
he may maintain system that bare
+iy pays for itself, and in which there
.is no profit. viii he not, by giving
his employees the hours spent in this
improbable business, get better and
more intelligent work from them than
by making them work 14or I6 hours
a day
All the worlds work might be ac-
complished more economically as to
time and Labor if some things were
only viewed in more logical light. 1t
doesn't cost ANYTHING to be logical.
Why not try it
