Table XIV — Yield of Grapes on Plats Differently Fertilized in 



Barnes Vineyard 

 Calculated to tons per acre. 



GRANDIN VINEYARD. 



The Grandin vineyard at Westfield, located in part on Dunkirk 

 gravelly loam and the remainder on Dunkirk clay loam, presents 

 a well drained area succeeded by a wet one. While each plat extends 

 on each type of soil, the plats are not equally situated over the 

 two. Approximately two-thirds of the length of the rows is on the 

 Dunkirk clay loam while but one-third is on the gravelly loam. 

 On the west side of the vineyard a still greater proportion of the 

 row is on clay loam. The length of the plats varies from 129 vines 

 on the west side of the section to 99 vines on the east, equal in 

 area to about one-fifth of an acre. The rows run in a north and 

 south direction. Spraying in this vineyard has been consistent and 

 thorough. Commercial fertilizers and stable manures had been used 

 previous to the beginning of the experiment by the owner in an 

 experimental way but no records of the behavior of the vines 

 under different treatments were available. Each plat row is separated 

 from the others by discard rows.
