2 MASS. EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 168. 



Table 1 is a record of the season's experience with the spraj'ing 

 plots, experiments with which have been reported in previous years. 

 Plots C and E were left without treatment as in 1914, and only one-half 

 of plots B and D were sprayed this year. As in 1914, Bordeaux mixture 

 (with resin fish-oil soap) was the only fungicide used, the final spraying 

 with neutral copper acetate applied in former years being omitted. The 

 different areas treated this year were spra3^ed as follows: plot A, three 

 times, on June 28, July 24 and August 7; half of plot B, three times, on 

 June 28, July 28 and August 9; half of plot D, three times, on June 29, 

 July 19 and August 7; " 1913, " three times, on June 28, on July 15 and 24 

 (half of the plot treated on the former date and half on the latter) and on 

 August 9; half of fertilizer plot 15, three times, on June 28, July 18 and 

 August 7. No fertilizer was applied to any of these plots, except the half 

 of fertilizer plot 15, this season. All the plots were picked with scoops as 

 usual. Where two checks were taken they were laid out on opposite sides 

 of the plot, and their areas and fruit production were combined in making 

 up the record given in Table 1.
