attention among those whose interests
are in the industry. In discussing the
proposition yesterday Charles +. Bowen
of the Wetmore-Bowen Company called
attention to several features of the case
that have not heretofore been brought
forward, From legal standpoint he
centage of contracts been secured the
promoter would have met with many en-
barrassing and costly complications. In
the first place, 1t is an unfortunate fact
that a large majority of the vineyards
of the State are mortgaged to their full
value and many are not at the present
time worth the face of the mortgage.
Furthermore the hapless VineyardiSt has
been compelled to mortgage his crop for
one or more years. The chattel mortgage
takes precedence of the realty liability.
Under these conditions it is the conten-
ton of Mr.. Bowen that Mr.. Crocker
would have been powerless TO absolutely
control the output OF the vineyards as
was his intention and that. therefore, he
would have been unable to regulate the
