Island. Throughout the entire period of ten years during which 
the experiments run the experiment fields will be confined to 
these same two farms, but, of course, not on the same plats. 
ARRANGEMENT AND AREA OF PLATS. 
In order to eliminate as far as possible the influence of in- 
equalities in the soil, etc., the plats were arranged in the manner 
shown in the accompanying diagram:

Rows O. A and O. B were really not in the experiment. They 
were planted in order to avoid having any outside rows in the 
experiment. Otherwise the rows 1 and 15 would not have had 
an equal chance with the other rows. 
Series I consisted of rows 1, 4, 7, 10 and 13, which were 
sprayed three times. 
Series II consisted of rows 2, 5, 8, 11 and 14, which were 
sprayed seven times. 
Series III consisted of rows 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15, which were not 
sprayed. 
The area of the experiment field at Geneva was exactly three- 
tenths of an acre, and of the one at Riverhead the same.
