Progress Of Agricultural Experiments 1923 PDF Download

Excerpt from Progress of Agricultural Experiments, 1923: A Report of the Director of the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station for the Year 1923, Including a Financial Statement for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1923 NO data were taken on the number Of buds stripped from the trees by the grouse during the winter Of 1921 - 22 because the seriousness Of the Situation was not realized until too late. The ruffed grouse attacked the orchard again during the winter Of 1922 - 23. On March 1, 1923, an estimate was made as to the proportion Of buds missing in the orchard, and it was found that as an average for all the trees, per cent of all the buds on side branches had been removed and per cent Of all the buds on top branches. The budding was fairly uniform over the entire orchard. On the plots that received no fertilizer, which are farthest from the woods, counts indicate that 31 per cent of the buds on Side branches were missing and 53 per cent of the buds on top branches. This is practically the same as the average for the entire orchard. The budding problem has been so serious in New Hampshire during the past two seasons that a special project in relation to injury to orchard trees by ruffed grouse has been organized under the Hatch funds.
