The crop from 17 untreatecl Ben Davis trees iv the same block was 

 similarly sorted, and gave results as follows:

Culls (including windfalls) do 90. 7 



Percentage of merchantable fruit 7.2 



It will be seen that of the crop from the unsprayed trees, 97.7 bush- 

 els, only 7 bushels were merchantable. In practice, the cost of labor 

 for gathering and sorting such fruit would be more than its value, and 

 the crop from the unsprayed trees would be, therefore, practically a 

 complete loss, except for cider or evaporation. 



In the same orchard the fi'uit from a block of 69 sprayed Winesap 

 trees was sorted, as in the case of the Ben Davis, yielding —

The fruit classed as merchantable on the unsprayed Winesaps, 

 namely, 6.75 bushels, was notably smaller tlian on the sprayed trees,

 the treated trees.
