GRAPE EXPERTS
CONFER WITH
LOCAL GROWERS

Valley grape growers met at the
farm bureau office yesterday in
conference with H. Z. Jacob and
DR.. a. j. Winkler of the division
of viticulture of the state agricul-
tural college at Davis.
The former speaker considered
two grape vine complaints and re-
ported his experiments on one of
them which was particularly dis
astrous in 1925. This same COM
plant. which is a pale yellowish
growth which burns readily in the
summer sun and which eventually
causes death to the vines, appears
to be due, according to Jacobs, to
a fall drought condition coupled
with a shallow soil. To combat
this condition local vineyard men
are irrigating more extensively in
the fall than formerly. There is,
however, still some Of this type of
disability in the valley.
The other vine weakness des-
cribed was a failure of buds to
sprout sometimes effecting entire
vines, and this failure was ascribed
to frost and a poor vine condi-
ton in the fall.
Jacob predicted that girdling and
thinning as developed in the uni
versity farm experiments will come
to be universal practises among
growers of early table grapes in the
Imperial Valley.
Dr.. Winkler described some in
vestigations regarding maturity tests
for grapes looking toward a more
complete test Of both sugar and
acid content tending to stabilize
the ratio necessary for effective
standards.
