The stakes which are to be used as markers may be split out of redwood or any other material for that matter and at least 12 inches of one end dipped into a bucket of whitewash so that the line of the base rows may be readily seen. Having set the stakes along the outside line at the distance apart the vines are to be planted, start at the same end of the field again and set another line of stakes parallel with the first line and the length of the chain distant from the outside line. Proceed in this manner until the entire field is laid out in checks. With this preliminary work done and having exercised care in the measurements to have the base lines parallel and the stakes in each block op- posite each other, no difficulty will be ex- perienced when planting commences to have the vines line up. PREPARING FOR PLANTING. First remove all the lateral roots with a sharp knife or shear, starting between the base of the cutting and the top of the vine, making a smooth cut close to the stock. Next shorten in all the roots, radi- ating from the base of the cutting to three inches. Then prune the top of the vine leaving only one spur with from two to three buds. The vines should be pruned a day or so in advance of the planting and the work should be entrusted to careful men. As soon as pruned, the vines should be heeled in and the soil either wet or tamped down to prevent the roots from drying out. The heeling in ground should be centrally located so that it will not be necessary to carry the vines too long a distance to the planters. HOW TO PLANT. Each man should be provided with a bucket or five gallon coal oil can. A small quant
