fruit was much more affected than the sprayed fruit. On June 21 
brown-rot had become quite prevalent on the young cherries, and a 
count was made of sound and infected fruit from the different Black 
Republican plats. The results showed that 16 per cent of the fruit 
was affected on the self-boiled lime-sulphur plat, 11 per cent on the 
lime-sulphur plat, and 35 per cent on the unsprayed plat. On July 15 
a count was made to determine the relation of the number of cherries 
to the number of fruit scars or original blossom clusters. It was found

Fic. 10.—Development of brown-rot on sprayed and unsprayed ced ies after holding 
experiments of 1916. The first shipping test on Napoleon cherries was with fruit 
picked on July 3, stored at 41° F. on July 4, removed and shipped by ordinary ex- 
press on July 6, received at Wenatchee, Wash., on July 8, and held in a warm 
laboratory until July 20, The second shipping test was with fruit picked on July 
5, shipped in pony refrigerators the same day, received in Washington, D. C., on 
July 12 with ice pans empty and fruit warm, and held without cooling until July 
13. The shipping test on Black Republican cherries was with fruit that was 
picked July 6 to 10, stored at a temperature of 41° F. till July 14, shipped by ex- 
press without refrigeration to Wenatchee, Wash., received on July 16, and hela in 
a warm laboratory till July 21. The shipping test with Lambert cherries was with 
fruit picked on July 14, shipped in pony Reopeeoe the same day, received in 
Washington, D. C., on July 21, and held till July 2 
that the set was but very slightly greater on the sprayed plats than 
on the unsprayed, the differences produced by blossom infection hav- 
ing apparently been evened up by a “drop” that occurred during the 
latter part of June. 
On May 31 decided foliage injury was evident on the lime-sulphur 
plats. As the season advanced it also became evident that the cherries 
from the Bordeaux mixture and the self-boiled lime-sulphur plats 
were smaller than those that were not sprayed and that the Napoleon 
cherries from these plats were more highly colored than those from
