TABLE 6. 

 Influence of Manures on Yields, 1908. 



Table No. 6 shows the yields obtained under different methods 

 of manuring in their second year. The orchards are the same as de- 

 scribed under table No. 5. The young orchards have responded to 

 the treatments wiiile the old orchard apparently has not. Both 

 commercial and stable manures show distinct benefit in yields in the 

 young orchards, with the latter somewhat in the lead in orchards 

 of both ages. 



TABLE 7. 

 Influence of Manures on Color, 1908. 



Table No. 7 shows the results obtained during the past year on 

 the influence of complete fertilizers and stable manures upon color.
