The protlt shown based on a crop of three barrels picked fruit on the sprayed trees. rels of fruit, one barrel of perfect fruit, worth $1 to $ net, had been gained by the spraying. If the difference in amount of perfect picked fruit was based on the picked fruit only, leaving the drops out of consideration, the benefit would appear to be only about three-fourths of that shown above, but only by taking the dropped fruit into account can a correct estimate of the value of the spraying be made. "When there is an unusual amount of worminess and the best spraying, the benefit due to spraying will often amount to half of the total fruit borne by the tree, as was shown by some of our plots, which in the case of a tree with the same amount of fruit as cited above, would amount to two barrels instead of one.
