28 MASS. EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 168. 



As will be seen by the figures given in Table 15, these plots have shown 

 no very definite effect on the quantity of fruit produced, resulting from 

 resanding or the lack thereof. In the opinion of the writer the advantages 

 gained by resanding are of such a general nature — a certain amount of 

 frost protection and help in the control of the tip worm and girdler being 

 the most evident — that they are not definitely determinable by means of 

 plot experiments. 



Fertilizers. 

 The experiments with the fertilizer plots on the station bog, spoken of 

 in previous reports, were continued. Table 16 presents a r6sum^ of the 

 experience with these plots from 1911, the year in which they were started, 

 up to the present time. Unfortunately, no storage tests were conducted 

 in 1911.
