The rough surface ofwooden posts serves as a most excellent placefor the lodgement of spores of the numerousfungi that attack the Qrape. Many of thesespores doubtless pass the winter safely in the. A Roller Maikei cracks of the post and here they are perfectlysheltered from the various dressings that areused to destroy them. The timber, when it be-gins to decay, also offers a safe harbor for manyinjurious insects. I believe it would be far bet^ter to substitute iron piping for the woodenposts that are so generally used.
