Wlthlngton, Right Temperature Tor Grapes. alitor Wlllsmstls Farmer I The light temperature forgrspos Is not well understood. If understood, moro at tention would bo paid (o tho location ot vineyard"; and, ns a result, fewer failure would follow. Downlug, Klllott, Flint, Hyatt, I.lpplncott, Hush, Hussmaii, Munch, Fuller, Henderson, Harry, etc., all Inform us that grapes will not grow to perfection (native lubrmcn) with less than 61" In April, and 63" In May, 55 in June, Cf and70 111 August nnd July, 05 and 0S In September, and W In October. If this temperature, with sunny weath er, and enly a moderate quantity of rain pravalls, most of tho native grapes will grow finely; nro healthy, nnd produco luscious fruit, rich lu must, and of deli cious aroma. Now, If It requires this amount nf tem perature to develop, In full, the splendid qualities of the American grape, how can wo expect thoso more tcndcritnd suscept ible grapes of thu rlnlfcra, or Kuropcan wlno grajie, to ripen Its fruit well whore Iho heat Is, ns it mean, only 0A? It should be 70, 75, or oven 60, for (he for eign grape requires from 10" to 15" or even 20 more hent to be healthy nnd produc tive, than tho American; nnd n moro even temperature, too. Not sudden heats and colds, not fogs and clouds, succeeded by scorching sun; but steady serene weather like, California, CI l'asn, France, Spain, Morocco, Walla Walla and Hood river. Koguu's river Is a fine grano country. The temperuturo I high, nnd (ho season long. Tho Umpqiia Is also good; but tha sen breezes have n slight effect there. The Willamette, ton, has tho samo objection. Hut In good locations among tho high, dry hills, on tho southern slopes, nnd sheltered from tno evening sea breezes, aro qui to favorable; and both the native nnd foreign vines, may be, nnd arc, grown with success. A well chosen location, In telligent culture, Judicious pruning, and nhappy selections of kinds, are the req uisites to success. Oursummcr months, June, July, and August, havo heat enough, tho thermometer ranging from CO to 80; but tho spring months, March, April, nnd May, are too rainy, damp, foggy, and cool, for tho early starting and progress of young, healthy foliage; thero being often mildew nnd fungoid growth. And pcoplo wonder what' (he matter witli their grapes. March Is often our worst winter month (I.e., worst weather), and oven April Is cool and sometimes frosty. Ilcnco the grapo Is backward In Its spring growth; and, unless n warm, dry fall follows, all late ripening kinds do poorly. Tho great trouble here Is, the slow ripening In the fall, owing to our cool nights lu tho latter part of September, and, tno often, tho whole nf October. And, save lu some favored locations, late grapes do not ripen well. Hence tho Im portnnco of n Judicious selection of sites or locations In planting a vineyard In the Wlllanictto valloy. These remarks do not apply so forcibly to tho Dalles, John Day's, Hood Hlvcr, and Walla Walla countries, ns they do hero. There, thero nro less cool, cloudy weutlicr and rain In lu spring; and tho summer and au tumns aro mcch wnrmcj henco tho grano ripens well, the vines aro vigorous, nmi tlie foliage healthy. The Willamette, however, has. a nil,,. n good, but not a superior, climate for the healthy growth of the vine. Still, by it happy selection of locations, and early ripening kinds, we can succeed; nnd success Is all we want. Our grapes mako flue wine. I believe aftersliteen venn.1 cxpcrlcnco-that tho southern slopes of wui uik ieu Hum, Him especially tno roll ing, heavy Hr-tlmbcred lands of tho Willamette, are, when brought In good culture, excellent for all early grapes.
