Almost wholly defoliated by disease by October 18, 1906. exact records were made of the yield of 215 trees of the sprayed plats of the difi'erent orchards and of 71 trees of the unsprayed plats. In making these records the apples were picked from the trees and sorted into "merchantable" fruit and "; The "windfalls" were picked up and measured. In grading the fruit no definite standard was followed.
