(7) Notes on the experiment at Mattituck.— The field at Mat- 
tituck was on the farm of A. L. Downs. It was rectangular and 
contained nearly two acres. At the time of the first spraying 
(July 23) the stand was very uneven. Many of the hills were 
not yet up. 
The small yield of this field was not due to disease. Downy 
mildew appeared only in traces and there was very little wilt dis- 
ease. No gummy pickles were observed. Probably, the causes 
of the small yield were: Late planting, poor stand and lack of 
fertility. As late as September 9 the plants did not cover the 
ground.
