GRAPE CROP IS RECORD BREAKER Prohibition Will Not Bring Disaster to the Wine Industry Xios Angeles, Calif., Sept. 16. — * National prohobitlon wtll not bring disaster to the grape-growing and wlne-maklng industry in Southern California, according to reports to- Taay to Internal Revenue Collector John P. Carter. In preparing to meet the require ments of the national law, which goes into effect January 16, 1920, the manufacturers have made a dis covery by which they will be able s to make wine complying with the requirements of the Government. The alcoholic content will be re -4 duced to one-half of one per cent. The new process Is said to leave the wine sweet and palatable and capable of being kept an indeter minate time, while the alcohol which remained in tttfe content under the old process Is removed and may be utilised as a by-product. Many of the large wineries are gathering and crushing grapes as usual. Many wine grapes are being shipped east instead of being a drug on the market and left to rot in the fields, as was prophesied freely. Wine grapes now are bringing 650 a ton, compared with S3O to $45 a ton last year. The vineyards ap parently are celebrating the advent of prohibition, as the grape crop is a record breaker.
