APPLES SHOWING ARSENICAL INTURY short time. The spot in no way resem- bles the "Baldwin Spot," which is always to be found affecting the tissues beneath the epidermis, and which may go to a considerable depth in the flesh of the fruit. The Baldwin Spot is a physio- logical trouble, and is due to the abstrac- tion of water from the cells. In the Baldwin Spot the epidermis usually remains intact, although the cells beneath it may have become disorganized. It has been thought by many that the pecu- liar spotting in storage was due princi- pally to climatic or cultural conditions, or to late harvesting and over-ripeness. It has also been thought that only the fruits from weak trees, or trees grown without any cultivation, developed this trouble. However, in my experience during the past three years, I have found almost the reverse to be true. In one particular orchard, with the trees in the very best condition, and which grew prize fruit, the greatest amount of injury was found. On the other hand, an orchard of a few trees, which had received no spray treatments for the past two years, and which had received no other attention, did not develop a single spotted fruit excepting those that were purposely sprayed with a soluble arsenical for experimental purposes. That small quantities of an arsenical in solution wi
