It will at once be seen that these reports are very contradictory 
and conflicting, even some from the same localities. This differ- 
ence is undoubtedly due to the unlike environment, condition and 
age of the trees, as soil, altitude, previous care and crops; and 
shows very conclusively the relative unimportance of au as 
compared with these other factors.
