TABLE No. 3. 



Average Annual Yield per Acre in Bushels (1909-1918). 

 Woodman Orchard. 



Size of Fruit. 



After considering the gross yield of fruit per tree and per plot 

 we are next interested in the size of fruit produced on each plot. 

 We determine this by sorting the fruit from each tree into three 

 grades, namely No. 1, No. 2 and Culls, which means that all 

 fruit which measures 2^ inches or over goes into No. 1 grade with 

 the exception of blemished fruit, and all fruit from 2 to 2| inches 

 is put into the No. 2 grade and fruit not included in these two 

 grades are classed as Culls. The results are seen in Table No. 

 4. In Table No. 3 we find that Plot 10 stands highest in per 

 cent of No. 1 fruit for both the five- and ten-year period, while 

 Plot 9 is next highest, and Plot 1 ranks lowest each year. The 

 other plots exchange places to some extent as is seen below.
