— Canton d'Epernay. [a) Montague de Rheims. All crops are affected by the weather, but they all vary primarily according to the 206 THE WINES OF FRANCE number of acres under cultivation and the care given, according to the labour avail- able. In the Montague de Rheims, the acreage of the best vineyards was 9,845 before the war ; in 1918 it was only 6,948, that is to say, nearly 3,000 acres, or 30 per cent, of the vine- yards, had gone out of cultivation altogether during the war. But the Montag...ue de Rheims has, as you know, the shape of a horseshoe, one side facing Rheims, one facing Chalons, and the third more towards Epernay. The vineyards facing Rheims were in full view of the enemy throughout the war, and have suffered most. Out of 4,685 acres, which before the war formed the vineyards of Chamery, Chigny, Ludes, Mailly, Rilly, Verzenay, Verzy, Villers Marmery and Trepail, there were only 2,602 acres under cultivation in 1918, a decrease of 2,083 acres, or 44-4 per cent. On the other slopes of the Montague the loss has not been so great.
