New York Agricultural Experiment Station. 



835 



At both Geneva and Riverbead the tests were conducted as in 

 previous years, each treatment being applied to five rows, each 

 making one-fifth of an acre, and the rows alternating so that soil 

 differences were neutralized as far as possible. " Bugs " were 

 kept off the check rows by separate treatments of poison, and off 

 sprayed rows by combining poison with the bordeaux. Rural K^ew 

 Yorker jSTo. 2 was the variety planted at Geneva and Carman ]^o. 

 1 at Riverhead. 



The summarized results of the whole ten-years' tests are shown 

 in Table IV.

Farmers' 



business 



experiments. 



The farmers' business experiments were 

 managed, as usual, by the growers themselves, 

 the Station merely specifying that check rows 

 should be left unsprayed in a section repre- 

 sentative of the field, and supervising the harvesting and weigh- 

 ing of these check rows and similar sprayed rows alongside. All 

 other details were left to the judgment of the growers. Four- , 

 teen such tests were conducted in 1911, which are reported in 

 brief in Table V.
