1388 Repori ofr THE BoOTANIST. 
1901: May 11, 22; June 3, 24, 26; July 10, 23; August 7 and 20. 
Three of the rows sprayed in 1901 were also sprayed in 1902 on 
May 10, 20, 31 and June 14. 
The original object of the experiment was to ascertain if cane 
blight can be prevented by spraying; but, unfortunately, cane 
blight was almost wholly absent from this plantation in 1901 and 
1902 although it had been destructive in 1900. Consequently, 
nothing was learned as to the value of spraying for cane blight. 
The yellows, on the other hand, attacked the plants over the 
whole plantation. The attack was a moderate one and a fair yield 
of fruit was obtained in spite of it; but in 1902 it was sufficiently 
severe to make it plain that the spraying had had no effect upon 
it. The three rows which had been sprayed 138 times were quite 
as much affected as the unsprayed rows.
