We take 1t all back. We retract. ",

wasted our sympathy, worked our
selves into high pressure of right
eour indignation In vain. Prohibition
did not cause the wine grape grow
ers OF California to clamor at the
gates OF the poor farms in large
masses. Their property was not con-
conf1scated and their income was not
cut off. On the contrary, thu growers
of grapes suitable oh.y for wine
making purposes havs never made
as much money as they have sailed
away since prohibition killed the le-
ultimate wine trade and created a
new home industry. In the period B.
F., wine grapes sold as low as S.

of these grapes that their use in the
manufacture of grape Juice, grape
syrup. and similar products could af-
ford an outlet for only very small
part Of the total harvest vet rron'
of the land producing these wine
grapes was fit for no other crops.
Hence the fear Of the poorhouse.

groundless. Immediately A. P. there
arose a demand for dried grapes of
every kind in every part Of the coun.

tent that dried wine grapes reached
