The application was thorough and was confined to the six ex- 

 perimental trees. There was a slight breeze thoug'h not suffi- 

 cient to interfere with operations. The trees on plot i were 

 well laden, healthy, and the fruit was developing very nicely. 

 Very few or no wormy apples were seen and there were very 

 few on the ground. A rather large number of small apples 

 were on the ground in plot 2, the drop probably being 

 the result of drought. There were a number with brown, 

 scabby areas on the side exposed to the sun, probably due to 

 sun scald. There were very few or no wormy apples. There 

 was abundant fruit on plot 3 except on small portions of one or 

 two trees. There was rather more injury to the fruit possibly 

 than on plot 2 and certainly more than on plot 4. The spray 

 was evident on the foliage and very few or no wormy apples 

 were to be seen. Some wormy fruit was seen on plot 4 but not 

 so much as on the checks. Some of the apples were injured 

 by sun scald though not so much as on plot 2. Some were badly 

 checked later (plate 7). There were only two trees on plot 4 

 with a good setting of fruit. The checks bore markedly more 

 wormy apples than the other trees and had practically no fruit 

 injured by sun scald.
