To be doubly sure of results, duplicate series were used. In 

 this way we have two rows in different parts of the orchard 

 sprayed with each solution ; while for comparison three rows 

 alternating with these were left without treatment. Naturally all 

 of the trees were not equally productive, and in counting the fruit 

 only those trees which were under approximately the same con- 

 ditions were selected. 



Because of the large number of trees to examine it was impos- 

 sible to count all of the fruit from each tree, hence five basket- 

 fulls, or two and one-half bushels were taken from all parts of each 

 tree. 



Table VIII gives the results obtained from the first series, 

 and table IX those from the second.
