TheCurculiO.

In a discussion which occurred during the
fruit growers Convention, at Athens, Ca on
she Sd inst, after full and free interchange
ofopinions and experience from several speak
ers, the points that seemed to be considered
settled 10y experience and observation were
LIST. That the Curculo, being a winged in
sect, will migrate to a considerable distance.
When stone fruit is raised in new locations,
that while in such places the fruit is little in
jured the first year of bearing, il soon be-
comes as badly injured rs in older orchards.
I'd. That there are successive broods of the
insect during the season, and that the time
the insect remains in the earth after Matching
is proved by experiment to vary from sixteen
to at least thirty days, varying with the tenn
perature.
Sd. That ii is probably worth while to raise
few Neciarine trees to attract the Curculio
from the Plums and Apricots, which are less
to his taste, especially in our section, where
the increase of the insect is checked every
two or three years by the destruction of our
stone fruits by spring frosts.
4;h. That where a few fruitsare punctured
In the spring, If the insect is unmolested the
successive generations from these will gene
rally destroy most or ali of the crop before
ripening.
9th. That the fruit may be saved by first
shaking the tree daily upon sheets and catch
Ing and killing the insects, and the method
pursued by Mr.. Bancroft, who, from some
half dozen trees. had this season collected in
bottle near 500 Curculios. I'd. BY also shak-
ing the trees and allowing the dropped fruit
to be eaten by poultry, pigs. kr.. gathering
daily anything left by the animals, which are
TO be fed aud watered directly under the bear
ing trees, rs practiced by Mr.. White. In de-
stroying the fallen fruit while yuunu the

In sections where the Cnreulio Is every
few years nearly annihilatcd by late frosts il
is not difficult by either of the above methods

SMITH. abolition candidate for Governor of
New York, at Port Byron, in that State, ten
lys ago that gentleman made the subjoined
response to an interrogatory why he resigned
his seat in Congress:
81 resigned my place in Congress in order
that | might exert more efficient means in
saving that Territory to freedom. / employed
men and means to that end. 1t has been
claimed that Kansas has been saved to free
dom by the republican party and the speeches
Of their leaders. 1t is untrue. No fancy is
more unfounded. She has been saved by her
own stout hearts and strong arms. John
Brown has done more to save Kansas than all
the speeches in or ont of Congress. He has
had $50 men with whom he has repulsed and
driven back the plots and OnsIaughts of bor-
der ruffianism He has told me that they had
killed slavery men with those forces. And
he has not been without material aid To carry
on this warfare. A man in Boston has given
81 900 to maintain this force, and know of a
man who has given far more, and of Others who
have given less. ] have done far more by
having Congress and outstanding my means,
for the cause of freedom in Kansas, than |
could have done to have remained there. 1t
was with this view that | resigned my
seat"
What is to be thought of this kind of pOpu-
