Spraying Apple Orchards in a Wet Season. 



Experiments in spraying for apple-sca!b and apple-worm were 

 made this year in the orchard of John McGrowan, a fruit gi'ower 

 living near the University farm. The orchard consists principally 

 of King and Baldwin apples. Several other varieties are grown 

 and other experiments than those here recorded were made, but 

 owing to the limited number of trees and the lightness of the 

 crop the results obtained from these were unsatisfactory. But 

 definite results were obtained from the Kings and Baldwins. All 

 notes were taken with the assistance of L. C. Oorbett, assistant 

 in the experiment station, in order tha/t any personal bias of the 

 writer might be corrected. 



The summer's work is particularly interesting from the fact 

 that the season was very wet, the rainfall from June first to July 

 first, beinig as follows:
