To make a start on working out the nutritional relationship of highbush 

 blueberries a large number of blueberry plantings in various parts of the state 

 were visited, leaf samples collected, and growth measurements made. The leaf 

 analyses for nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium and calcium have been 

 completed. After the results have been analyzed^ they will be published and 

 used as the basis for further experiments. The ultimate objective is to correlate 

 che.iical analyses vfith some quick, easy, field tests which the grower can use 

 to help him decide what elements he needs to apply and hmr much.

What a difference three little letters can make - see belov;, 



CORRECTION! You should make this change in the chart listing materials 

 useful in the control of Red Mite which was published in 

 the February issue of Fruit Notes . 



Under TEPP in column three (2) it should read: " NOT com- 

 patible with glyodin and mercury ." Please make the change 

 in your copy. 



In fact, none of the organic phosphate materials should be 

 used in the same spray with a phenyl mercury if you wish 

 to be completely safe, 



OMISSION; In the same chart, fovir ounces of demeton is enough In a 



Pink or Calyx application. The amount should be increased 

 in later sprays. 



Also, demeton is not^ compatible with phenyl mercury.
