The two check trees in each of the three unsprayed plots show 

 wide variation in yield, ranging from 651 to 5419 apples for the 

 Kendall and Webster orchards, respectively. The perfect fruit 

 varied from 1.32 to 20.96 per cent, scab infecting 88.45 P er cen t 

 of the apples in the Newfane orchard and 74.77 per cent in the 

 Webster orchard. A considerable variation is also noticed in the 

 amount of fruit injured by the leaf roller and the codling moth, 

 this latter being particularly marked when the results obtained in 

 the Webster orchard are compared with the other two plots. The 

 most striking contrast is seen in the percentage of end wormy, this 

 amounting in the case of the Newfane orchard to 29.92, while in the 

 Kendall orchard it was only 2.76 and in the Webster orchard .31. 

 The comparative freedom from codling moth injury of the check 

 trees in the Webster orchard has been commented upon above.

The comparative tabulation of the results obtained from the three 

 sprayed plots and on the check or unsprayed trees, shows in the first 

 place a somewhat uniform total yield from the plots in the orchards 

 treated in the same manner, though as brought out above, in two of 

 the orchards at least, there were considerable discrepancies between 

 the plots receiving the different treatments. It will be noted on 

 referring to the table, that the percentage of perfect fruit increases 

 progressively with the number of sprayings from 40.76 in the case 

 of one application to 58 for two applications, and 69.24 for three 

 applications, there being a similar and related decrease in scab infec- 

 tion. The control of this fungus was the important factor in
