Five and one-half inches from the soil to the top. data for the eradication work of previous seasons was deficient or missing. Some of the work on this area was done during the early stages of the eradication work, before the methods of procedure had been very far perfected, so that the results are not as definite or as convincing as for the Alfred area. Nevertheless, they are of value and the fact that they compare so reasonably with the work on the Alfred area would seem to indicate that they are not far out of the way. The average number of Ribes found on check plots, aggregating some 425 acres on this area, was 15, up to this season's work. The finding of 243 plants, or an average of one-half plant per acre, brings the previous eradication figure to a little better than 951/2%..
