N, H. The Development. Trnproveinent and Malntenemce of Blue - 

 berry Fields . To (l) learn reliable procedures for develop- 

 ing and maintaining blueberry plants on abandoned farm lemds 

 and other available eireas; (2) optimum cultural practices, 

 partic\alarly fertilizer req.uirements , weed control, and the 

 control of insects and diseases; (3) the ecological factors 

 significantly associated with successfvil blueberry production; 

 and, (k) to create improved st^ds through selection and 

 breeding.

N. J, Relation Between Nitrogen Level, Pruning, Sanding and 



Crop Production of Craiiberries^ Learn (l) optimum N require- 

 ment in relation to 3 degrees of pruning; (2) coordination 

 of N level and pruning with \ise of picking machines; and, 

 (3) evaluate cultural procedure in sanding vs. pruning.

N. J. The Nutrition and Citlture of Small Fruits and Grapes . 

 Investigate effects of: (1) various elements, in q^uantity 

 and balance, on growth and reproduction; (2) variety and 

 stage of development on nutrition; (3) viruses on nutrition 

 of small fruits only; (k) soil management, rotations and 

 irrigation on growth and reproduction; (5) insecticides, 

 fungicides, herbicides and growth regulators on growth and 

 reproduction; (6) varying plant populations on yield of 

 strawberries and develop control of plant populations; and, 

 (7) various roots tocks, pruning systems and. other manage- 

 ment practices on growth and yield of grapes,

N. Y. The Relation of Varietal Differences and Cultural Prac - 

 tices in the Ripening of Concord -Type Grapes and Grape Products , 

 To study chemical changes during ripening under various con- 

 ditions and to determine if grape processing season can be 

 lengthened by introducing earlier Concord type varieties 

 into commerce.

N. Y. The Effect of V£u:iations in Pruning Severity and Train- 

 ing System on the Production of Fredonia, Concord, and Van 

 Bioren Grapes . To measure (l) yield of these varieties when 

 pruned to four severities and trained to three systems; (2) 

 the wood growth produced by grape vines pruned to these 

 vfiurious severities and trained to these systems; (3) the 

 yield as affected by the interaction between fertility 

 level and pruning severity; (h) to learn the yield as affect- 

 ed by the interaction between height of trellis and pruning 

 severity; and, (5) to record the depth of rooting of vines 

 pruned to vetrious severities .
