————————. 
This year the apples of the two larger sizes were graded as 
first class and those of the smallest size as second class or culls. 
An estimate of the effects of the different treatments upon the 
size of the fruit may then be made by comparing the amounts of 
the second class fruit from each treatment. The sulphur-treated 
Greenings gave an average of 1.0 per ct. of this grade of fruit 
as compared with 11.1 per ct. from the untreated trees, making 
a difference of 10 per ct. better fruit in favor of the former. 
These figures show a greater difference in these respects than one 
would have imagined from a mere visual examination of the 
fruit and perhaps exceed a little the average difference for all the 
yields of this variety. The Baldwins sprayed with the sulphur 
washes yielded 3.7 per ct. second class apples as compared with 
29.4 per ct. of the unsprayed trees, showing a difference of 25.7 
per ct. better fruit in favor of the former. The results upon 
the Baldwins were not so surprising; for many of the trees not 
treated with the sulphur washes overbore and much of their 
fruit, independent of blemishes by scale, scab and codling moth, 
was condemned as culls because of its inferior size.
