CURcuLIo On PLuMs.-I have seen vari-
Gus methods for keeping these insects off of
plum trees, but none SO simple nor yet-so ell
ieotnai as the following: Soak corn cobs in
sweetened water until thoroughly saturated
then suspend them to the limbs of the trees
little while after blossominy, being sure to
burn the cobs after the fruit rpens, as they
will be found full of the young insects. 4
good plan is to change the cobs every few
weeks: theory is. this--that the insects
deposit their eggs in. the cobs in preference
e! doug I'm the young plums The first
sseas9n j tried upon one or two oily, and in
: tn if,er was rewarded BY good crop of
as tae plums as ever ,rlpened, while those on
the other trees fell off when about hall grown
Next spring found sweetened, corn cnbs dang
Ing tr9m, the;hmbs of, all my plum trees, and
the :summer$foand them full of delicious fruit.
Il have never known it to fail, and hope
every reader who has plum, tree will try it,
