Most of these fallen apples also bear
the mark of the curculio, a little crescent
shaped discoloration with dark dot on
the concave side. Careful fruit growers
jar these insects off the trees upon sheets
in the early mornings of June, and kill
them one by one. The best that can be
done now is to lessen the next genera
ton by destroying the apples in which
their eggs are planted, if the worm is not
already bred and descended into the
ground. A drought like that of last sum-
mer is supposed to endanger those insects
near the surface of the ground by parch-
ing, but there is manifestly no lack of
them this year. The curculio, it is well
known, ruins the plum completely, and
it destroys the natural beauty and much
of the flesh of the apple and the pear.

dating" Act, was passed in March, 1872.
IL recites, that whereas doubts have
arisen whether the issues were in con.
