Tnis vineyard is on Howell Mountain and is 6 or 7 years old. No phylloxera has
appeared, but many of the vines have dry rot. This is tnought to be caused by impov-
erished soil, as the vines — many of them — were planted where trees were taken out. The
same complaint is occasionally made with the valley vineyards. Fungus forms on the
stocks and they soon rot and can be kicked over.
